Hi! I'm Jackie, an occupational therapist and founder of OT Play Lab. I'm so happy you're here! living in Santa Clarita, California.
OT Play Lab was born in Santa Clarita, CA, from my deep love of child development, sensory play, and wanting the very best for my own daughter. As both an OT and a mom, I saw firsthand how powerful hands- on, meaningful play can be in shaping confidence, coordination, and connection.
I've spent years working as an occupational therapist supporting babies with feeding challenges, helping children strengthen fine motor skills, and guiding families through developmental milestones, but when I became a mother, everything shifted. Therapy wasn't just something that happened in a clinic anymore it became part of everyday life.
Each sensory playdough product is thoughtfully designed with occupational therapy principles at its core which supports fine motor development, bilateral coordination, sensory regulation, imagination, and confidence. The playful themes draw children in. The therapeutic intention keeps them growing.
At OT Play lab, we believe childhood should be filled with texture, color, creativity, and connection. Our products are more than playdough they're invitations to build skills, strengthen little hands, and help children reach developmental milestones in a way that feels joyful and natural.
It's therapy made accessible. It's development woven into everyday moments. Its a mom wanting more for her child and creating it for yours too. My hope is that OT Play Lab helps families bring meaningful, therapeutic play into everyday life that nurtures confident, capable and curious little learners.
I’m so excited to share them with you, and I hope they bring as much magic to your home as they do to ours.
With love,
Jackie, OTR/L

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely LOVE OTPlayLab’s jars and kits! My 2 year old loves looking at each part and figurine and pressing into the playdoh. I just bought this Easter jar as a gift for a friend’s 3 year old. It makes the perfect gift because it entertains for quite awhile and really isn’t messy! I love knowing that everything was designed by an OT so I know he’s getting the best developmental experience! And everything is so cute and fun and the themes are perfect. Highly recommend!!!
