Hi, I’m Jennifer Torres —a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant, a parent of two and the owner of The Sensory Shed.

With 25 years in occupational therapy, I don’t just sell you items and send you on your way, I’m here to help you understand why certain sensory inputs work, how to use them effectively, and when they might benefit your child most. Because access to the right tools is only part of the battle—knowing how to use them is the rest!

The Difference

Every product here passes my double test: Would I use this in therapy? Would I buy this for my own kids?

If it’s not a yes to both, it doesn’t make the cut.

Our products are not random—they’re carefully picked tools that:

Encourage purposeful play that develops skills while keeping hands and minds engaged.

Build fine motor skills through intentional manipulation and movement.

Support sensory regulation with textures, weights, and tactile input that actually promote calming and focus.

More Than Products

You’re not just getting items—you’re getting the tools and education on how to use them effectively from both aspects of a professional with 25 years of experience and from a parent’s understanding.

My Promise

Every item at The Sensory Shed is something I’d confidently recommend in a therapy session and happily give to my own children. Quality checked. Purpose-driven. Parent-approved.

Welcome to The Sensory Shed—where sensory play meets real results.
