The Sunbeam Strainer

The Sun Stainer ⓒ Thoughtfully created to slow the moment and spark curiosity, the Sun Stainer is a sensory play essential. Designed to hold fizzing mixtures, petals, crystals, and botanicals, it gives children a chance to observe the magic instead of rushing through it. After years of watching my child dive headfirst into sensory play—pouring water over fizz with eager hands—I noticed how quickly ingredients would disappear. Always asking for “more, more, more,” he inspired this design: a strainer that encourages pause, attention, and wonder. Whether used in water, sand, mud kitchen play, or sensory bins, the Sun Stainer offers a perfectly sized space to watch bubbles rise and botanicals float—extending the moment of discovery just a little longer.
