Bailey, 2 years old, IN

Wish submitted by:

Bailey is a bright and curious girl who lights up at the simplest joys—sunshine on her face, the sound of a story being read aloud, or the discovery of a new flavor at mealtime. Though her young life has already seen some instability, Bailey’s days with her aunt in kinship foster care have helped her begin to feel safe and loved again. Her laughter is contagious, and her wonder about the world is boundless, especially when she gets to explore it through touch and play.

Bailey would love a sensory water and sand table that she can use outside. Playing with different textures—scooping, pouring, and splashing—helps Bailey feel calm and focused. This type of play offers her a safe and joyful way to explore her senses, supporting her development and providing comfort during a time of emotional transition. A sensory table would not just be a toy for Bailey; it would be a special space that belongs to her, where she can explore, learn, and simply enjoy being a kid.
