Potion Play

A guaranteed win for busy parents.

Around here, we call potion play a guaranteed win. It's one of those activities children never seem to get tired of.

Why is potion play a guaranteed win?

I’ve never met a kid who goes “nah, I dont want to play potions today.”

Children love mixing, pouring, bubbling and experimenting. Every potion is different, and that's exactly what makes it so much fun.

💬Real Talk

Does your child dump everything in at once?

Perfect.

Watching it all fizz and bubble is half the fun. Some children carefully add one ingredient at a time, while others can't wait to see what happens. Neither way is wrong.

Some days it lasts ten minutes. Some days it lasts an hour.

Both are wins.

Ten minutes to drink your coffee while it's still hot is still ten wonderful minutes of independent play.
