About Little Buckets™
Our Mission
At Harding Media , we are committed to providing the highest quality products and services to our customers. Little Buckets™ was created to explore gentle, non-restrictive protective solutions that help support toddlers during moments of frustration, sensory overload, and big emotions.
Developed by a parent and educator, our goal is to design products that prioritize safety, dignity, and comfort while recognizing the developmental needs of young children. We believe children deserve support that helps keep them safe without restraint, stigma, or fear.
We are committed to thoughtful design, collaboration with caregivers and professionals, and ongoing exploration of safe approaches that support both children and the adults who care for them.
Little Buckets™ is currently in prototype and patent-pending development through Harding Media and is exploring pilot partnerships with families, early childhood professionals, and clinical teams.

Our Experience
Little Buckets™ was created by Dr. Francisca Harding, an educator, parent, and founder of Harding Media, with years of experience supporting children and families in learning and developmental environments.
This concept grew from real-life caregiving and observation of how toddlers navigate big emotions and sensory moments. It reflects a desire to explore supportive, compassionate approaches that help keep children safe while honoring their developmental needs.
We are currently in early prototype and patent-pending development and are seeking collaborative conversations with caregivers, early childhood professionals, and clinical teams interested in thoughtful pilot exploration and feedback.
