DECOHOME Mystery Potions Kit for Kids, 20 Magic Mix Wizard Potion Bottles, Craft Toys Creative Christmas Birthday Gifts for Boys & Girls Age 6 7 8 9 10+

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 :-DI 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.

My daughters (aged 11) loved making these. Hours of fun and really encourages imagination. Have already bought another for a birthday gift.

Great value for money, kept my son busy fore ages. Eady to use. Lots of lovely components to make many different potions - create your own or follow potion instructions. Easy to use.

We bought this for our seven years old granddaughter and she very much loves what she can do.however, I would suggest that adult supervision is most appropriate and needed, due to the high probability of waste and spillages.You can see a photo of the display case that she has arranged, not being enough cork stoppers and so she has improvised with coloured cotton wool..!Overall this is a very complete and wonderful kit. Nothing within is of undue concern, with supervision and older children. Nothing has stained or caused skin reactions when used.Very much appreciate d and very much loved.......it just has a limited appeal as there can not be any replay value once used. Putting aside what can be effectively displayed.Very much recommended for both boys and girls, her brother liking it also.

Bought for six year old’s birthday and it’s been his favourite present. Bonus that both me and his 8 year old bro love making the potions too - it’s a really nice activity to do together. The potions look great and including shelving is a nice touch, appreciated by the boy!The “ingredients” are nothing special but altogether it has made a magical set for the kids. Inclusion of skulls and spiders has been popular - a lot of creative/crafty kits seem more oriented to girls so it’s good to get a balance that appeals to boys too.I did get it on a big discount so it was good value in terms of engagement time and enjoyment.

My boys age 8, 6 and 4 all loved playing with this. Made lots of potions and really enjoyed experimenting. Great fun

Nice kit used with grandchildren. Slightly over priced (was expecting a larger set).

This is maybe one of the best gifts I have brought off Amazon. Highly recommend it to parents whose children enjoy making potions!!! It has really easy to follow guidelines if you want ideas of things to make that my 5 year old can follow. It also has an excellent range of glitters, dyes, sequins and bits and bobs to go in each potion! I was surprised how much stuff was actually included! Normally you have to be careful to use things sparingly but we’ve finished all the little bottles and still have loads of glitter etc left. Definitely worth the money, I will buy again!
