When will I receive my order?
Turnaround time is typically 8-10 business days plus shipping unless otherwise noted. You wilI receive an email notification with tracking when your order ships. Why is turnaround time this long? I am a one woman business making most items by hand and I work with many other small businesses as well to curate the highest quality sensory kits, and good things take time! Any minor delays will be posted via Instagram stories. If you have questions about your order status or need to make a change, please shoot me a message via Instagram @curiouswren or email curiouswrenshop@gmail.com.

My item arrived damaged. What now?
I take pride in sending customers only the highest quality products. However, things can happen during shipping that are out of my control. If your Playdough or slime arrive and feel too warm/sticky, place in refrigerator for a few hours and check its consistency again. If any items arrived damaged, please send a message to curiouswrenshop@gmail.com or reach out via Instagram messages ASAP to receive a replacement. I stand by my products and will always make things right!

How long will my playdough stay fresh?
Playdough will typically keep for 6+ months when stored in sealed jar, out of direct sunlight, at room temperature or below. Refrigerate for longer shelf life during warm months. Always play with clean, dry hands. If salt crystals appear, simply knead them back in. Add a bit of coconut oil or a few drops of water and knead to revive dough that’s beginning to dry out or feel sticky. Playdough is made with food grade ingredients. Discard immediately if mold appears.

How do I care for my slime?
Slime will typically last 3 months when cared for correctly. Store in airtight container in a cool place. Refrigerate for longer shelf life, especially during warm months. Always play with clean, dry hands. Some settling will occur naturally. f it begins to feel too sticky, add a drop of contact solution or activator at a time and knead until desired consistency- a tiny bit goes a long way. If a spill happens or some slime gets stuck in an undesired place, vinegar will remove any spots.

How should I prepare for and clean up after fizzy play?
Potions may stain surfaces and clothing due to the citric acid. Play with proper caution on protected surfaces- they are perfect for mud kitchen play! Wash hands after use. If potion contains polymer clay slices, they can be strained, rinsed off and used again- please do not pour down the drain. Glitter included will biodegrade.
