A pinch of petals, a dash of beetroot, a swirl of garden magic!
Double, double, soil and trouble - this Potion Making Kit is just the thing for little witches, wizards, and woodland alchemists who love to mix up a bit of magic in the great outdoors!
This enchanting kit is packed fill of natural, sensory treasures that invite children to explore the world around them in the most imaginative (and gloriously messy) way. With a real 250ml science beaker for bubbling brews, a sturdy sieve to strain out the crunchy bits, and a wooden stirrer to swirl up spells, this kit has everything needed to turn garden gatherings into magical experiments.
There's a mini funnel for precision potion pouring, three reusable bottles with screw-top lids to bottle up your brews, and two tins of dried beetroot and turmeric powders for that earthy splash of colour (and a whiff of real wizardry). Want more? There are three little jute pouches filled with UK-grown dried rose petals, rosemary and lavender - all ready to be crushed, sniffed, stirred and spellbound. And because no proper potioner should go without a trusty wooden teaspoon, there's one of those too. It all comes bundled up in a beautiful hessian drawstring bag for easy carrying on your next forest adventure.
It's eco-friendly, plastic-free where possible, and bursting with potential for magical, muddy, meaningful play. Whether it's a healing elixir made with lavender and rainwater, a bravery brew with rosemary and beetroot, or a rainbow spell using anything you can find in the garden - there are no rules, just imagination.
Perfect for garden explorers and mini mixologists, this kit can easily be paired with our Bug Spotting Kit for a full day of nature-based adventure, or set up your very own enchanted garden with our Seed Bomb Kit and Grazers Woolch - both perfect for creating your own magical ingredients.
Why is it important to get children to play outside?
Here at Chimney Sheep, we see the value in nature play! Being outdoors is great for our mental and physical growth, education, and understanding of the world and our place in it. We want to make playing outside fun and interesting by doing something a little different. Our range of kits will provide an activity for all interests. Whether your child is arty or sporty, into bugs or flowers, we'll have a kit for them. Providing children with all they need to play and learn, leaving an enduring connection with nature and all it holds!
Research founded by The Wildlife Trust found children's well-being increased after they had spent time connecting with nature. Children have reported their experience outside made them more confident and capable of doing new things when they tried, learned something new, and formed better relationships with classmates. More benefits of outdoor play can be found here.
