Safety Concerns
While we believe strongly in PLAY and taking some risks, we want to make sure your child is safe! Our products do contain small parts and if your child mouthes items with risk of swallowing we would not recommend. Our playdough does contain gluten. We use mica powder to dye our playdough which is considered dermally safe, but not suggested for consumption (although likely not harmful). As well our bath bombs do contain artificial dye.

Did you know our boxes are curated by an Occupational Therapist?
That's right! Our Founder, Connie O'Neill has been an OT for over 30 years. Connie says "I LOVE kids! They make me laugh and I like to think they keep me young! They yearn for our attention and innately have the desire to engage with their surroundings. I feel confident Big Play in a Box will provide you the means to connect with your child(ren) in a way that creates lifetime memories. "
