Hi, I'm Dani.

I'm the teacher behind Wonderific Labs. A registered Early Childhood teacher who has also taught in primary, intermediate and high school science classrooms.

Over the years, I've spent countless hours watching what truly captures children's attention. It isn't usually the flashiest toy or the loudest screen. More often, it's something wonderfully simple. A drop of colour spreading through water. A leaf with an unusual pattern. A question that doesn't have an obvious answer.

What I've discovered, both as a teacher and as a mum, is that connection doesn't have to look like performance. Sometimes it looks like curiosity, asking real questions, trying something together and wondering what might happen next. That's the heart of Wonderific Labs.

💚 Keep Wondering,

Dani

Wondering? We've got you!

What age are the packs for?

Wonderific Labs packs are designed for preschoolers and early learners, but every child is different. You know your little explorer best, and you'll naturally adapt the experience to suit them.

For example, my two-year-old happily joins in with many of the activities, just at a much simpler level than my four-year-old, who tends to ask deeper, more curious questions along the way.

Whatever age your child is, adult supervision is always required throughout each activity.

Do I need any special equipment?

Not at all! The activities are designed around everyday household materials you probably already have on hand.

A dropper is useful for a few experiments, and a magnifying glass can add an extra layer of wonder, but neither is essential.

Each pack includes a complete materials list at the beginning, so you can gather everything before you start exploring.

How long does each activity take?

The activities are designed to be quick and easy to set up, with most taking around five minutes to prepare.

What happens next is entirely up to you and your little explorer.

Children naturally come up with their own ideas to test, questions to ask, and new directions to take an activity. Whenever possible, I'd encourage you to follow their lead.

And if where your exploring takes you isn't exactly where the activity was meant to go, that's okay. That's wonder working its magic right in front of your eyes.

Are the cards reusable?

Absolutely.

The cards are printed on thick, laminated cardstock, making them sturdy enough to enjoy again and again. Children often notice something different each time they revisit an activity.

They're designed and printed in New Zealand and built to last, although they're not waterproof or tear proof, so a little care will help keep them looking beautiful for years to come.

Where are your cards printed?

Our Wonderific packs are proudly printed in New Zealand, using a printer who sources their materials from another New Zealand business.

As a small New Zealand business, supporting other New Zealand companies is really important to us.

Do you ship throughout New Zealand?

Yes! We ship anywhere in New Zealand.

Orders are sent via NZ Post, and most arrive within 1 to 3 working days after dispatch.

How much is shipping?

Shipping is free anywhere in New Zealand.

For international orders, we offer a flat rate of $10 to Australia and $25 to the USA.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes! We currently have shipping options available for Australia ($10 flat rate shipping) and the USA ($25 flat rate shipping).

We understand that the USA shipping cost could be a barrier, so in that case we recommend purchasing the digital downloads and printing the cards yourself, or getting them printed on cardstock at your local printing shop. Although, both the Australian Dollar and USD are stronger than the NZD, so the exchange rate definitely works out in your favour!

If you are somewhere else in the world and would like a physical pack sent, please get in touch by email at [email protected].

Can I buy all three packs together?

Yes, and we'd highly recommend it!

Each pack explores a different area of science, so together they create a wonderfully varied collection of hands-on learning experiences.

You'll also save when you purchase The Complete Wonderific Collection.

And this is just the beginning. We're already dreaming up more packs for curious little minds.

Can I buy a digital version?

Yes!

Every Wonderific Labs pack is also available as a digital download.

You'll receive exactly the same beautifully designed activity cards, ready to print at home, so the hands-on, screen-free experience stays exactly the same once they're in little hands.

The Complete Wonderific Collection discount also applies to digital packs.

What is your refund policy?

If you're not completely happy with your purchase, you can return your physical pack within 14 days of delivery, provided it's unused and in its original condition.

If you'd like to swap for a different pack, simply return your original pack first before purchasing the new one.

Because digital packs are available for immediate download, we cannot offer refunds for change of mind once the files have been downloaded, unless the files are faulty or corrupted.

If you have any questions, please get in touch at [email protected]. I'd love to help.

Are the activities designed for independent play?

Wonderific Labs activities are designed to be explored together.

They're designed to create moments of curiosity, connection and discovery between children and the parents, caregivers and educators who are exploring alongside them.

As children become more familiar with an activity, they may need less support, but adult supervision is always required. Some steps require an adult for safety, and these are clearly highlighted both in the pack overview and on the individual activity cards.

Can these be used in early childhood centres or classrooms?

Absolutely! Wonderific Labs was created by a registered teacher with both families and educators in mind. The activities work beautifully at home, in early childhood settings, or in the classroom with small groups.

What if I'm not very "sciencey"?

Perfect. You don't need to be!

The cards guide you through each activity step by step, with simple explanations and conversation starters along the way. You don't need any scientific knowledge to enjoy exploring together.

What if I am sciencey? Are these right for me?

Yes! If you have a science background, that's great!

You may recognise some of these ideas already, and that's a great head start for even richer conversations with your child.

We designed these cards because we couldn't find anything else like it for this age group, and wanted a way to support all little learners to explore science easily.

Still wondering about something? I'd love to help. Feel free to get in touch anytime at [email protected], and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
