Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We’ve got answers. From what’s inside each kit to safety, shipping, and cleanup, here’s everything you need to know about Wunderkits.
Our kits are made for ages 6+, with activity lengths and instructions designed to match skill level, interest and attention span. Adult supervision is required for younger kids and recommended for older kids.
Each Wunderkit includes everything needed to complete the project: all ingredients, molds, tools, and step-by-step illustrated instructions. Soap kits require a microwave or double boiler to melt soap. Bath kits require a large bowl for mixing.
Specific contents vary by kit; check individual product pages for details.
Other than that, space to create, a surface to work on, paper towels and water for cleanup, plus enthusiasm & patience are a must!
Most projects take 30-60 minutes from start to finish, depending on the kit and your child's pace. We design activity lengths to match kids' attention spans while giving them enough time to really enjoy the creative process.
Each kit includes almost everything you need - soap kits need a microwave or double boiler and bath kits need a large bowl.
Our "mini" kits are designed for those just dipping their toes in the proverbial water before committing to the full experience. So for those, some additional tools, like mixing bowls may be required.
We recommend having a workspace covered with newspaper or a craft mat, and access to water and paper towels for mixing and cleanup.
Depends on the kit. Soap kits offer three creative sessions that can be done at once or spread over time. Bath kits are completed in one sitting, but meant to have multiple uses. Both are great for completing with a friend or sibling.
Our "mini" kits are designed for quicker entry into DIY bath & body crafting, and are meant for 1 to 2 uses.
Once they've created their custom bath bombs, soaps, or other goodies, they're ready to use and enjoy! The molds and tools can often be reused for future DIY projects if you purchase additional ingredients separately.
The experience and skills gained? Those last forever.
Absolutely! While designed for kids as young as 6, many older kids and adults love our kits, because the designs are not childish, they're real works of art that all ages can appreciate.
Our kits make great activities for 1-3 kids. For larger groups, contact us at hello@wunderkits.com for party packages.
All of our kits are beginner-friendly and designed for ages 6+ with adult supervision - no crafting experience needed!
The best way to choose is based on interest: does the recipient love bath time (or have a bathtub)? Go with bath bombs. Not sure? Try soap-making.
You can't go wrong - our kit testers loved them all, regardless of age, gender, or kit type.
We thoughtfully choose ingredients to avoid harsh chemicals commonly found in commercial products, including preservatives, dyes (except where noted), SLS, detergents, parabens, phthalates, and more. As with any kid-oriented product, we recommend adult supervision and reviewing the full ingredient list, particularly if your child has specific sensitivities or allergies.
We use simple ingredients like baking soda, citric acid, phthalate-free fragrances, ethically sourced mica, and detergent free melt & pour soap base. Each kit includes a complete ingredient list on the product page, external packaging and inside the instructions manual.
While we try to avoid the most common allergens, like nut oils and dairy, it is impossible to accommodate every allergen for every body. We recommend reviewing the ingredient list on each product page before purchasing, especially if your child has known allergies or sensitivities. If you have questions about specific ingredients, reach out to us at hello@wunderkits.com.
We carefully choose vegan ingredients and only source from vendors that are known to adhere to cruelty free and ethical practices. Check individual product pages for specific details.
We recommend doing a small patch test before full use, especially for kids with sensitive skin. Apply a small amount of the finished product to the inside of the wrist and wait 24 hours. If any irritation occurs, discontinue use. When in doubt, consult with your pediatrician.
Store unused ingredients and creations in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep materials in their original packaging or airtight containers. Most ingredients have a shelf life of 12-18 months when stored properly.
Bath bombs and soaps made from our kits are best used within 3-6 months for optimal freshness and fragrance. Store finished products in a dry place away from moisture to extend their life.
We recommend storying bath products in the reusable zip bag or gift bag provided. Soaps should stored the same or wrapped in plastic wrap to avoid glycerin "dew."
