Hi, I’m Jess!

I created Ready Set Sensory to make sensory play feel easy, doable, and genuinely fun for families. As a mom who loves hands-on learning but doesn’t always have extra time (or patience!) for complicated setups, I’m here to share simple, low-prep ideas your kids will actually enjoy. From calming activities to creative sensory bins, my goal is to help you create meaningful play moments that support learning, confidence, and connection, all without the overwhelm.
