Our Story
A message from the founder on her inspiration and motivation for starting Wunderkits.
Our Mission
To make high-quality DIY creativity accessible and joyful for families through thoughtfully designed kits that inspire wonder and connection.
The Beginning
Why Wunderkits Exists
Wunderkits exists because we wanted DIY kits to feel easier, more thoughtful, and more enjoyable for families.
Our Approach
Designed for success
We design specifically for kids ages 6+, with pre-measured cosmetic-grade ingredients, clear instructions, and everything included. Our kits are made in the U.S. with safety, transparency, and quality in mind, so parents can feel confident and kids can feel successful.
What We Believe
Wonder-Filled Moments
At the heart of it, Wunderkits are about slowing down, creating together, and making wonder-filled moments of connection.
Wunderkits comes from Wunderkind, German for "wonder child." Because every kid is full of wonder, and that's worth celebrating.
a message from the founder
Meet Kristen
When I became a mom, I learned that kids don't just want to make something, they want to share it with the world. To hold it up and say, "I made this!" with the kind of grin you can't fake.
While I enjoyed getting into the weeds planning for the next craft, I learned that most of my "mom friends" didn't. So I built Wunderkits to make it easier for grown-ups to create with kids!
It started with kitchen-table experiments and my son as my unofficial product tester. He's a teen now and far too cool for most crafts, except our Galaxy Orb Soap Kit. That one he'll drop everything for. Now my niece is my muse, and we're both learning while planning the next great kit.
Ready to create wunder-filled moments?
