Once upon a time, in the colorful and charming state of Rhode Island, was a group of kids who loved nothing more than a good old round of Sensory Play. Rhode Island may be the smallest state in America, but really, it's a wonderland bursting with secret beaches, bustling cities, and enchanting forests. The kids here run wild with imagination, making it the perfect place for Sensory Play activities! Meet our coolest friend, Mr. Squeeze, the Silly Squid. He's squishy and funny, with a belly full of giggles and eight ticklish tentacles! Mr. Squeeze loves nothing more than to play hide and seek in the golden sand dunes of Narragansett, or race down the snow-covered slopes of Woonsocket. Every day, Mr. Squeeze and the Rhode Island kiddos would gather all sorts of cool stuff - from the slipperiest seaweed to the crunchiest autumn leaves. They would make a giant rainbow mound, dive in, and let their senses explore! They would feel the scratchy bark, the slimy sea stones, and the warm, toasted beach sand. Oh, the laughter that filled the air! Mr. Squeeze would often end up with a pinecone stuck to his head or a starfish hanging from one of his tentacles, making everyone erupt in giggles. Their Sensory Play adventure was always the highlight of their day, and they couldn't wait for tomorrow's sensory exploration. So, kids in Rhode Island aren't just kids. They're sensory explorers, brave adventurers, and laughter champions. And do you know what their secret weapon is? Their best buddy, Mr. Squeeze, the Silly Squid. Together, they make every day a laughing, learning adventure in the playful wonderland that is Rhode Island.
