Creativity For Kids Enchanted Garden Stones This open-ended craft kit includes all the materials needed to create four sparkling garden stones 6 inches in diameter; alternatively, young artists can choose to create lots of smaller paperweight-size stones. The kit includes four small bags of garden-stone mixture, additional plastic bags and a stirring stick, rubber gloves, a plastic drop cloth, and decorations to press into the stones: metallic stickers, tiny tiles, glass pebbles, and crystal glitter. An excellent idea for a family project or gift-making session, Enchanted Garden Stones leaves lots of room for creativity. –Marcie Bovetz
Customer Review: Don’t buy it!
My 6 year old received this gift as a birthday gift. After two attempts and near tears we have given up trying to make this poorly designed toy. The plaster dries immediately, making it impossible to shape and decorate the stepping stone. I have found that Creativity for Kids generally does a poor job designing art kits. It should be pulled from the market.
Customer Review: LOVE THESE STONES!
I’m not sure what happened with the other reviewers… I almost returned this after reading the reviews but figured since I already had the kit I would give it a shot. My daughter and I made two stones today, and it was super fun, easy, and they are awesome! The instructions say to use cold water… that warm or hot water will cause it to dry too fast. So after reading the reviews here, I decided the colder the better! So I put the cold water in the freezer for about 3-5 minutes before mixing. I had the designs laid out, followed the instructions to a tee, worked very quickly on the first one, and it still was another 20 minutes before it hardened. I took a little more time with the second and it was still perfectly fine. Super cute. I would make the same comment, though, that the butterfly stickers provided are too big to put under any of even the larger stones provided. We just used our own stickers and that worked fine.
