I’ve seen so many signs of spring this week- can’t wait!

Charlotte area friends: I’m toying with the idea of creating “sensory play themed kits” for one week rentals. The idea would be to have all sensory and loose materials cleaned and packaged with themes such as “under the sea,” “farming,” etc. Each kit would have freshly prepared sensory items like homemade doughs, cloud sand, etc, in addition to a large quantity of loose parts that fit the theme. Initial idea for pricing is $25/kit for one week, including contact-free drop-off and pick-up right at your door and guaranteed cleaned and disinfected items between rentals. Is anyone in the area interested in this?
