When You Hear the Thunder Rumble Book Sensory Bin
Matt’s wife, Deanna Deutschman, founded Eureka Play in 2020 to merge her passions for organization and motherhood. As a mom and NAPO-certified (National Association of Professional Organizers) organizer, Deanna has first-hand experience in how important creative play is and how messy and disorganized it can be! She has developed solutions to the seemingly opposing goals of fostering creative play and keeping your house organized.
Deanna has created a series of sensory bin toys that include a variety of fun and interactive figurines, building blocks, scenery and props to allow kids’ imagination to run wild. They come in various themes, such as construction, rainbow, nature, and Disney’s Frozen movie.
The sensory bins provide creative, open-ended play and clear, delineated homes for things. And bins that kids can open, close and stack themselves is really just icing on the cake, so that they can continue learning independence…and parents/caregivers can kick up their feet. This teaches children to self-serve their own clean up time, teaches them that things have “homes,” and fosters life skills as they get older.
Deanna and Matt partnered together with the release of his first book to create a “When You Hear The Thunder Rumble” themed sensory bin that can be purchased as a set along with the book.
