Meet the Makers

We're a mother-daughter duo who kept landing in the same spot every afternoon - tired, out of ideas, and staring down a toddler who needed something to do with her hands. So we started painting, making a mess creating crafts, and mixing up yummy baked good from her toddler stool.

Addie Mae is our Chief Messy Masterpiece Officer. She taste-tests every recipe and stamps her approval on every craft. If there happens to be chocolate chips involved, a few never make it to the oven.

If it isn't fun for her, it doesn't ship to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not for mouthing toddlers and children. Activities are designed with kids aged 2-5 in mind. There are small pieces that could be choking hazards. ALWAYS use adult supervision.

When will my first box ship, and how long does delivery take?
If you are purchasing within 5 days of the 1st of the next month, you will receive your first box in the following month. If you are purchasing outside of that timeframe you will receive your box within 7 days.

Do subscriptions renew automatically?
Yes. All plans renew automatically unless canceled. Your credit card will be charged on the 1st of every month until canceled.

Can I cancel anytime?
Yes! Cancel anytime from your account. You'll still receive any boxes already included in your current billing cycle.

How long do the activities take?

What is included in the box?
Activities will change month to month but you can expect mini sensory bin filler, a paint project, various crafts, and at least one recipe card. Follow us on Instagram for sneak peaks.
