Your play mentor

Hi, I’m Alexa.

I’m an early childhood educator, sensory play teacher, and mom of two. I started Kid Activities with Alexa looking for simple ways to support my own child’s learning through play — and it grew into a library used by families, teachers, and speech-language pathologists. My hope is that this space helps you feel more confident as your child’s first teacher, without long lessons, complicated setups, or endless Pinterest scrolling.
