What is a Nest Box?

Chosen with thoughtfulness and intended for joy, a Nest Kit is the gift of freedom to be oneself in the interaction and experience of play. As a powerful tool for mindfulness and self-regulation, and as a support for making meaningful connections with others and the world all around, a Nest Kit truly offers something for everyone!

Our Why
The Village Nest was brought to life in acknowledgement of the ever evolving village of support we weave for one another, unknowingly or not, through time on life's journey. Our own family nest, built with the treasures and twigs shared by others over the years, continues to grow and keep well my own two birds who are learning to fly. Our friends, neighbors, educators, caregivers, coaches, doctors, early intervention specialists, speech therapists, psychologists, and all the villagers we are meant to meet next, are part of a collectiveness inviting each of us to give and accept grace and strength from each other, always.

Neurodiversity in Play
A Nest Kit encourages sensory participation and all types of play with the freedom to be neuro-different! The process and product of play coexists alongside varying sensory needs, which in turn shade the differences in how children seek purpose within their own experience. Some children will pair the theme with creativity and become entranced by a world of imagination. Other children, instead of telling a story with their creation, may seek predictability and visual organization, finding gratification in sequencing and sorting all the treasures. Some children may find comfort in manipulating, squishing, burying, or stacking the tiny & textured objects in a quiet or excited moment, while others may mindlessly shape the dough and engage in an intrapersonal connection that otherwise would have been too overwhelming to sustain. And equally valued, there are those who will prefer, beyond anything, the sensory medium to remain treasure & texture free at all times. Inspired by our daughter who joyfully sorts and orders objects by particularity, and as a tribute to all who dance to the beat of their own drum, we hope that a Nest Kit extends authentic comfort and connection for all the children in your nest.
