Homemade Party Favours - Artisanal Playdough!

Once upon a party..

Once upon a time, Wonder and Whimsical started as a small sensory play company, specializing in scented natural playdough that captivated both kids and parents alike. Those sweet memories of providing sensory joy to my little boys, as well as our beloved customers, still fill my heart with warmth. The softness of the dough, the delightful scents, and the endless possibilities for creative play made it a cherished experience for all.

A Party Staple is Born!

As our scented playdough gained popularity, it became a sought-after party favor, adorning countless celebrations with its touch of wonder and whimsy. Our customers would often request custom colors to match their party themes, and it was truly magical to see our playdough become an integral part of so many special moments.

As time passed, our passion for creating enchanting experiences blossomed, and we evolved into the party planning company we are today. But that doesn't mean we've left behind our roots – the joy of sensory play still inspires us in every aspect of our work.

And now, as a token of gratitude and nostalgia, I am thrilled to share with you the previously proprietary recipe for the softest dough that once sparked countless smiles and sparked imaginative play.
