The Grape Gnome - An Inside the Story Sensory Kit

from $52.00

Deep in quiet vineyard corners and woodland gardens, tiny grape gnomes carefully tend their vines. They prune the plants, gather sweet fruit, and share their harvest with the small creatures who live among the vines.

The Grape Gnome Sensory Kit invites children into this magical vineyard world where grapes grow along twisting vines and tiny helpers care for the garden. At the heart of the kit is a hand-painted grape gnome and their miniature grape companion, ready to explore the vineyard, harvest grapes, and care for the plants that grow there.

This kit is lovingly inspired by the cozy woodland gnome stories found in books like The Hidden World of Gnomes and the beautiful modern gnome tales illustrated by Lauren Soloy, where tiny guardians of the forest quietly tend plants, animals, and hidden gardens.

Children can scoop and sort through the Grapes on the Vine sensory mix, harvest baby grapes just beginning to grow, and explore a fragrant lavender garden that helps attract helpful pollinators. With miniature tools, woodland creatures, and cozy storytelling pieces, this kit encourages imaginative small-world play while introducing children to the rhythms of garden life.

Whether harvesting grapes, caring for the garden, or sharing sweet treats with forest friends, this kit blends sensory exploration, storytelling, and nature-inspired learning.
