  • Potion Play® is an open-ended activity developed to build confidence and creativity.

    You can start by reading the positive affirmation spell on the back of the pouch with your child. Talk about how the affirmation makes them feel and how they want to incorporate it into their potion.

    Have your child add a few spoonfuls of the Potion Play® mixture to a bowl or bucket, add water and watch your potion bubble and sparkle.

    Kids can extend their Potion Play® experience by adding more ingredients (flower petals, rocks and other bits of nature make great magical additions).

    Potion Play® can also be frozen after use to be used for another sensory play activity.
