Make beautiful sensory mixes with less guesswork.

You searched “how to make sensory rice” at 9pm. You found a reel that made it look easy.

Then your pasta came out patchy, your rice got clumpy, or the color just wasn't what you expected.

And now you're wondering what went wrong — and whether you should just throw the batch away.

You shouldn't have to waste ingredients figuring it out one failed batch at a time.

The Mix Fix brings together starting ratios, material guidance, drying tips, and troubleshooting suggestions to reference as you make your own sensory mixes.


The Mix Fix: A DIY Sensory Mix and Troubleshooting Guide

A practical guide to making your own sensory mixes with rice, pasta, chickpeas, corn, and more.

I didn't figure this out perfectly the first time.

My first sensory mixes came with plenty of trial and error — sticky batches, uneven coverage, colors that didn't turn out quite right, and ingredients that ended up in the trash.

So I started testing.

Different bases. Different ratios. Different paints. Different drying methods.

And I kept track of what actually worked.

With a background in Montessori and early childhood education, I created The Mix Fix to bring together practical tips, starting ratios, and lessons I've learned while making sensory mixes.

To give parents and educators a useful resource to reference as they create their own.

Imagine making your next batch with confidence!

  • You know where to start with your ratios.
  •  You have real photos of what a mix should look like in the bag, so you can spot what's off and know what to adjust
  • No more saving another reel and hoping the next one explains the part you actually need.
  • Just the confidence to think: “Okay. I can fix this.”

Here's what you'll actually have at your fingertips

The Mix Fix includes:

The basics — Learn the method behind making sensory mixes and what you need to create them successfully.

Paint guidance — Which paints to use, which ones to skip, the different types of paint, and when each one works best.

Know your bases — A full list of sensory bases, including those mystery pastas you've seen in sensory mixes but never knew the name of.

Base-by-base recipes — Recipes for each base, with tips and tricks specific to how that base behaves. Because what works for rice doesn't always work for pasta, chickpeas, corn, and more.

Troubleshooting — Real photos of what a mix should look like in the bag, plus what to adjust when it turns out sticky, clumpy, patchy, too wet, or just off.

Quick-reference guide — Easy-to-find ratios, drying and storing information, and key tips so you don't have to search through the guide every time you create.
