FAQ
General questions
What is the purpose of our magic potions?
Our magical potion kits are designed to help children believe in their abilities through a kind and magical approach. In addition to featuring different magical themes, our sets address various challenges in a child's daily life. Some potions can help them discover what makes them unique, thereby enhancing their self-confidence. Another kit may assist in overcoming fears, an emotion that is not inherently bad but can sometimes hinder trying new activities and flourishing.
In our regular kits, you will find three instruction cards to concoct three different potions. The ingredients have been carefully chosen for their color, texture, and scent to provide a wonderful sensory experience. Moreover, the child is sometimes invited to smell the scents or dip their fingers in the liquid to awaken their senses. Once the potion is completed, it can be simply emptied outside to invite fairies and other magical creatures into your garden. These beings will be drawn to the magic of fairy dust!
Can the potion be consumed?
No, the potion is not meant to be consumed. It is created for magical and sensory play, providing a fun and imaginative experience for children.
What about allergies?
Certainly, we avoid the main allergens listed by Health Canada. The issue of allergens is important to me since my own son is allergic to peanuts. Although allergens are not part of our ingredients, we cannot guarantee that our kits do not contain traces of them. Some ingredients themselves may have the disclaimer: "may contain traces of..." If you or your little wizard have allergies, please contact us to discuss. One thing is certain, there are no peanuts in our home!
What is the target age for our kits?
The regular kits are designed for children aged 3 to 9, although some teenagers (and even adults) have purchased them for fun! Why 3 to 9 years old? Because at this age, we still believe in magic and fantastic creatures! For two-year-olds, we do not recommend the regular kits as they contain small parts that could cause choking. Also, they have more difficulty following instructions and tend to empty the tubes at once (speaking from experience!). For this age, the mini kits are more suitable as they can experiment with the ingredients and their magical reaction more freely.
What to do with the potion once the activity is finished?
Some children are so amazed by their potion that they won't want to part with it immediately. You can keep it in a small Mason jar for a few days. To preserve the magical properties of the potion, you can dip an object into its liquid to absorb the magic. For example, after completing a friendship potion, dip your friendship bracelets in it! Since the main ingredient used in our kits is often fairy dust, you can pour the potion directly outside to invite fairies and other magical creatures into your garden. They will be attracted by its enchanting scent and the magic emanating from it! The ingredients are 100% biodegradable (yes, even the glitter), so there is no harm to the environment.
Can they be used in the bath?
Although some ingredients are the same as those found in bath bombs, we do not recommend using them for this purpose. Our potions have not been tested for this use. Additionally, the magical reaction will not be as impressive in such a large quantity of water.
How many children can play with a potion kit?
The regular and mini kits are designed for one child each. However, since the regular kits contain three different potions, you can divide the activity among three children.
What type of container to use to make a potion?
We recommend using a small bowl with a diameter of approximately 3 to 4 inches. With a wide opening, you'll better see the magical reaction and its bubbles. If you want a more impressive reaction that may overflow, use a bowl with a narrow opening.
