StickieTee joins Maria Kazlou, Etsy’s top quiet book maker, FunnyBunnyFriends, to bring sensory play to wearable kindness. Reusable sticker patches with zippers, spinners, mirrors, and textured fabrics backed with baby-friendly Velcro support both sensory-seeking or sensitive kids.
Maria is a creative momtrepreneur and Star Etsy Seller who discovered her passion for sewing and drawing during the early days of the pandemic. After moving with her family from Belarus to Texas, isolation sparked a new journey—turning her artistic talents into beautifully handcrafted sensory-play quiet books. As a mom of three young kids, Maria understands the importance of meaningful play. Her felt quiet books are designed to inspire creativity, support fine motor skills, and promote sensory development in children. Each book is a labor of love, blending thoughtful design with playful learning to enrich little minds and hands everywhere.
Sensory play is essential for children’s development—it boosts brain growth, enhances fine motor skills, builds focus, and supports emotional regulation. Recognizing its impact, Maria, a mom of three and expert quiet book designer, partners with StickieTee to bring sensory play into everyday fashion. Together, they’ve created interactive StickieTee hook-and-loop patches featuring zippers, mirrors, textured fabrics, and bright colors. These playful, wearable pieces allow kids to explore different sensations through touch, sight, and movement—encouraging self-expression, calm, and connection. Designed for both sensory-seeking and sensitive children, this collaboration turns clothing into an imaginative, developmental experience that’s both fun and functional.
