It’s no surprise that more parents are searching for alternative toys in this age of heavy screen use. The need for simple and healthy play options for children has become even more vital as research is documenting the decline of basic motor skills in a so many young school children. Creating toys that connect families, that lead us back to nature and help little ones reach their full learning potential are the driving passion at Valia Co. 

Play doesn’t have to be flashy or complicated. Studies show that activities that build motor skills, offer open-ended pathways and include sensory exploration are really the best thing we can offer young learners.

Our purpose is to offer toys that are designed from the heart with the entire family in mind. With three young children in our home, our family often turns to playing with dough, baking recipes and art projects as a way to learn and have fun together. This led to designing the first set of roller stamps, a simple object that unlocks the imagination and creates moments of connection. We believe that the early choices families make to create healthy learning environments will impact future generations in a big way. I hope you’ll join our family in the mission for more connected and explorative playtime by inviting sensory play into your home.
