Programs & Events
From single workshops to ongoing community partnerships, here's how Play to Heal brings sensory play to life.
Slime-Making Workshops
A guided, hour-long session where residents mix colors, textures, and scents to create their own take-home slime. No experience or fine motor precision required.
Community Partnership Program
Recurring monthly or seasonal visits to a senior living community, building familiarity and long-term relationships between residents and our volunteers.
Special Events & Fundraisers
Seasonal celebrations, intergenerational family days, and fundraising events that combine play with community-building.
Sensory Play Kits
Take-home kits for communities or families who want to bring sensory play into daily routines between workshop visits.
Volunteer Training Sessions
Short trainings that prepare new volunteers to lead sensory-friendly, dementia-aware activities with confidence.
Custom Programming
