Frequently Asked Questions

What age are your kits suitable for? 

Sensory play is beneficial for all ages and we encourage safe sensory play with adult supervision at all times. It is important to note that all of our kits contain small pieces which are a choking hazard. Our kits are not suitable for children under 3 years of age. Adult supervision is advised at all times during play.

What is your play dough made from?

Our play-doughs are made using food grade ingredients: Flour, salt, oil, cream of tartar, water and food colourings. Some of our doughs are then decorated with non-edible glitter, sprinkles or sand which makes them unsuitable for eating.

*Please also note that our play-doughs are made on surfaces that may contain traces of nuts*

How do we keep the play dough fresh?

If it is stored correctly, your play-dough will easily last for months! For best results and the freshest dough, we recommended you store your dough in an airtight container, zip lock bag or wrapped in clingfilm and keep it somewhere cool.

What's this white scaly stuff?

If you find your play-dough gets 'salt crystals' don't worry, this is totally normal!  Kneading the dough or simply adding a few drops of water will make these disappear. If your play-dough starts to dry out, simply add a few drops of water and knead again.

My kit looks a little different to the picture on the website, why?

All of our kits are handmade with love and therefore composition and materials may vary slightly from time to time to the pictures on our website. Figurines and craft elements are chosen at random however each kit is designed with consideration to overall value and we do our best to ensure an even spread of elements across all our kits and themes. 

Can I buy more play dough?

Yes!  You can now buy extra play dough for each set in our Add on section.

Can I purchase kits for my child using our NDIS funding?
