Down south, nestled in the heart of America is the lively state of Alabama, or as our cool imaginary friend, Mr. Cotton Candy Cloud, likes to call it, "Ala-bam-a-bam-boom!" He's an enormous fluffy cloud, who changes colors based on his mood, and has a knack for tickling children with his candy floss hair. He loves to travel around Alabama, spinning stories about the state's natural beauty, exciting football games, and delicious barbecue. Even more, he loves visiting the kids who participate in sensory play activities. These youngsters in Alabama are not your regular kiddos. Oh no, they're super-duper Sensory Play Champions! With the help of their activities, they've developed superpowers - the ability to explore and learn about their world using all their senses. They can touch a bowl of jelly and tell you it's as squiggly as a worm doing a hula hoop. They can smell a flower and describe it as a rainbow after a summer shower. They can listen to the wind and declare it's whispering ancient tales. Every day, these little champions set off on grand adventures, armed with their sensory play bins. They dig through rainbow rice looking for hidden treasures, or squish, squash and splat colorful play dough, creating wacky creatures. They listen to the sounds of seashells and pretend they're pirates sailing the high seas. And Mr. Cotton Candy Cloud? He's their biggest cheerleader, always ready with a chuckle or a tickle, adding an extra dash of fun and laughter to their playtime. Oh, Ala-bam-a-bam-boom, what an amazing place to bloom! So, if you're ever in Alabama, keep an ear out for the booming laughter of Mr. Cotton Candy Cloud and the excited chatter of Alabama's Sensory Play Champions!
