Potion Making Kit for Children with 20-Bottle & Recipe Book

We had a wonderful time with this. It's one of the best toys I've bought for my two 7 year old grandkids and that's saying something :-D I especially like that it's not too 'girly' or pink and isn't offputting to boys. It's fun for both. It wasn't occult either, so suits most beliefs. The recipe booklet is perfect for getting started with and has nice, clear diagrams as well as text, so it suits reluctant readers as well as more competent ones. The 'ingredients' are imaginatively named and well presented. There were plenty of opportunities for the children to talk about what qualities they thought would be useful to have and the kit encouraged that. Mine made 'Unicorn training', 'Calm', 'Invisibility', 'Quiet' and 'Scary' potions as well as lots of others. The glow-in-the-dark ingredients were popular, but there was plenty of the glow star glitter left over at the end. Actually, there are quite a few remaining ingredients unused, which is a bonus. Nothing felt cheap or skimped. I did use a hand-held label maker to add a bit of a 'professional' look to the potions, but it's not necessary. There are cool blank labels in the kit to write on. I loved that there were two mixing bowls, funnels, scoops and fairy wands, meaning that they didn't have to share and could mix away without having to wait for anything. There were plenty of bottles (20) to sustain their potion-mixing activities for some time and inclusion of a few extra corks was thoughtful. I really appreciated the security tops on the colouring bottles, because it meant they needed adult help with a potentially messy part and didn't spill anything crucial. The fizzy mystery potion was fun too. The box contains a nice storage box for display of the finished potions. It's a very thoughtful feature because it kept them together and made them feel precious. Once the potions were made, the children used them in adventure games for days, carrying the box with them on a mission to defeat an evil teddy (apparently). I would definitely recommend the kit for children aged five and up, with adult involvement. It was educational, stimulating and above all, lots of fun. Everything about the set felt well thought out, as if it had been designed by someone who cared about children having fun and using their imagination. It's good value for the amount of enjoyment we all had.

Great little potion kit, has been thoroughly enjoyed! My 4 year old daughter and 6 year old son both loved making the potions from the recipe book and making up their own. The 7 recipes in the book were good for giving them ideas for their own concoctions. It was useful that it came with 2 tiny wands, 2 spoons, and 2 funnels as it meant they could both do it at the same time with less bickering. We’ve done one session and still have loads of stuff left so will put it away and do it again another day. They particularly enjoyed putting the labels on and putting the bottles on the ‘shelves’ in the cardboard storage box. A few people have mentioned that is was smaller than expected - and it is small - but I actually think the size is great as the potion bottles and box can be easily stored. Not bad value given the amount of entertainment my kids have had out of it. The mystery potion is a one-use fizzing one. If you want to make potions that fizz then in recommend buying a big bottle of vinegar and some bicarbonate of soda, but my kids enjoyed this kit for the imaginary play / pretending to be a witch and wizard element.

Granddaughter aged 8 loved this. Followed the recipes but also enjoyed creating her own potions. First class.

This would make a perfect gift for a young person. Great for experimenting with. Great fun.

Arrived in time for a birthday gift, thank goodness. Not dure if they work however, they look super.

Bought two of these, one for my daughter and one as a gift, both age 6 and both loved the kit. My daughter did them all in a few sittings but still a good few hours of entertainment and she now displays them in her room.

Bought 3 sets for my Year 1 class for a special potions day and they went down a storm, plenty of ingredients, lovely little bottles to use and the corks fitted really well.

My Grandson loves it and lots to make

A LOS PEQUES LES ENCANTA.

Veramente consigliato tiene i bambini impegnati e libera la fantasia facendoli sognare un mondo magico!!

Je recommande vivement ce kit. La boîte est assez petite lorsqu'on la reçoit mais en fait c'est compact et complet. On peut faire 20 petites fioles de potions. Les flacons sont de qualité et on dirait du verre. Il y a beaucoup d'ingrédients différents à ajouter et seule l'eau n'est pas fournie , ce qui est un plus par rapport aux kits de chimie par exemple ou il faut toujours rajouter des ingrédients de chez soit. Nous avons passé plus d'une heure dans le calme avec 4 enfants de 6 à 15 ans. La supervision d'un adulte est nécessaire si on ne veut pas avoir des paillettes du sol au plafond. Il y a un livret de "recettes" pour les potions mais nous avons trouvé plus amusant d'inventer nous même. Des araignées et crânes brillent dans le noir. Il y a assez de paillettes pour bien remplir les flacons. Nous avons tellement aimé que j'ai recommandé un autre modèle le soir même. Merci pour ce beau produit.

Loved!! My niece had an absolute blast and asked to do it again once we were done.
