Dan&Darci Soap Making Kit for Kids - Crafts Science Toys - Birthday Gifts for Girls and Boys Age 6-12 Years Girl DIY Kits - Best Educational Craft Activity Gift for 6-12 Year Old Kid

The Dan & Darci Soap Making Kit is a creative, STEM-rich gift that kids enjoy—and it keeps them busy for more than one session. It’s ideal for children around 6–12 who can handle a bit of parental supervision. You get strong educational value and entertainment for approximately $20. Just be prepared to oversee the microwave step and consider pairing it with sturdier molds or extra fragrances if desired.

My niece (in law? Husband's niece?) Absolutely loves this kit! She has been so interested in making DIY body care products and candles. She has made so many bath bombs that they have several freezer bags filled with them. However, she's never made soap before, and she said that this was the best gift she got that year, aside from the FNAF books, LOL. She says the instructions are really easy, and the soaps smell wonderful. I think she uses her own fragrance oils, but I'm not quite sure. Anyway this is a great time buster for beginners. I am starting to make soaps from scratch myself, and as she expressed interest in doing the same, I felt like this would be the perfect gift for her. She is 10 going on 20. Extremely mature child who just wants to create art and crafts, and I love that. Overall, I give this five stars because it made a 10 year old girl super happy! Thank you for reading! If you have any kids that are interested and stuff like this, I highly recommend this kit to start. I know they also have a bath bomb kit which is just as awesome, but we didn't buy it because she has so many already.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Nice DIY soap kit, and is simple enough to do at home. Although, I don't have a microwave, so I had to improvise by melting the soap base in a porcelain bowl, with the bowl placed in a small pot on the stove. It's quite dangerous that way, so keep children away if you do.It takes some practice with the timing, because the glycerin hardens really quickly.I would mostly recommend this IF you have a MICROWAVE. It would be a lot simpler (and probably safer). Otherwise, it's too annoying on a stove.Nonetheless, for a way to make soap in a simple, introductory way, it was a good pick to do with my daughter.You can gift the soap to a friend, or use at home! :)

But this is a gift for the kids. They loved it.

My 8 year old granddaughter is in love making her own soap.

It’s summertime and since my wife and are are both teachers, it’s important for us to find creative and educational way to keep our 5-year-old son occupied.This was a hit! Here are some tips:- I put a full bar it in the microwave for closer to 12 seconds. Just watch it because you do not want it to boil over. My first try, it wasn’t melted enough and ended up a goopy mess. After melting it fully, it was perfect! Just be quick to mix in your dye color, fragrance, and glitter and pour into the mold.- a couple of my molds leaned to one side and weren’t level. A quick fix is to use one of the popsicles on one side to level it out.- super awesome tip is to do layers! I decided to do one like a rainbow popsicle and simply did layer by layer. The bottom layer just needs to slightly harden prior to adding the new layer on top.Have fun! and remember, it can get messy, but it is SOAP so it’s easy to clean. My son’s hands have never been cleaner in his life. 😂

It was fun to make with my autistic sister.

In hindsight, I don't think a soap making kit is the best idea for little kids. Unless you have four microwave safe measuring cups with handles laying around, all the kids get to do is drop in the color, glitter and scent and then tell you where to pour it. You definitely have to heat it up to a higher degree than what they tell you, otherwise it'll start solidifying before you even get to mix the color in and you can feel it right through the little plastic beakers. Doesn't make for a lot of hands on time for kids. The scents are of surprisingly good quality. All in all, it's cute, you can make probably 2 of soaps of each mould but not very kid friendly and you're done before you know it. My 8 year old daughter is looking forward to gifting a few of them to her dad for Father's Day, but she doesn't seem to be very interested in trying it again. She definitely expected to get to do more with it than what she ended up being able to.
