You want to give your kids opportunities for imaginative play but you don't have time for complicated set-ups or a ton of prep.
You know the value of open-ended play, but you aren't sure how to encourage your kids to actually do it.
You want to work on those fine motor skills and strengthen those little fingers but it has to be FUN FOR THEM.
How it works
1. Choose the level that's right for your family.

Hi, I'm Jess!
Wild Child Imagination Studio began as an in-person art studio for kids. When the pandemic hit, owner Jess Kroez pivoted to creating playdough kits & sensory bins for kids to use at home. She began a subscription box in November 2020 and has loved every minute of bringing this kind of boredom busting play to families across Canada each month. She lives with her two kiddos and husband in Chatham-Kent, Ontario and she loves books.
Happy parents, happy kids!
On days when we're inside my 2.5 year old will go into the cabinet and get out his playdough all on his own and play by himself. They had to have played for almost 2 hours when they opened the dino dough! Thank you for giving me peace.

We are loving our Wild Child subscription boxes. Imaginative play makes me happy.
Listening to the scenes these girls come up with... so fun! Thanks, thanks, thanks!

October's kit is full of bubble bubble toil & trouble!
Cards are charged on the day you subscribe and on the 6th day of each month following.
My dough is made of all food-grade ingredients with: flour, salt, cream of tartar, coconut oil, food colouring and essential oils for scent.
Since the kits contain small parts and playdough itself can be a choking hazard for young kids, my products are designed for children aged 3+. Most of my customers kids are between 3 and 8 years old. However, the occasional teenager or parent has also enjoyed them!
You can buy a subscription as a gift and have it shipped to any address in Canada. Just make the shipping address different from your billing address at checkout. If you would like to include a message for the giftee, include a note with your order and I'll put it on a card so they know who it's from.
I am not currently offering pre-paid subscriptions (as a one-woman show I need to keep it as simple as possible). However, I plan to offer them for a limited time around the holiday season.
Yes, you can swap your subscription to level up or down by logging into your account. If you have any trouble, feel free to get in touch with me and I'll help you out.
If you really want a particular box you can subscribe and cancel as soon as you receive it. However, it is your responsibility to remember to cancel by the 5th of the next month. I also have stand alone playdough kits you can order which are similar to the subscription kits but contain less dough and fewer accessories. Eventually past months will be available on the site but at a higher price than in the subscription. So, it pays to be a subscriber.
You can pause or cancel your subscription anytime from your account. If you need help, just reach out to me. I understand eventually folks have enough playdough or their financial situation changes. No worries and no guilt if you have to cancel. I do request that you cancel by the 5th of the month so I'm not making any extra boxes or having to issue refunds (which costs me fees). Thank you for understanding!
