When my purchase arrived, I was excited, until I opened the box and found a tiny plastic pouch with miniature supplies; two “blocks” of glycerin are each the size of a regular soap bar (4.2oz); bottles of scent so small I didn’t see them at first. The package says “makes 16 soaps” but it fails to mention just how small those “soaps” will be. Doing the math, each “soap” is a tiny 1/2oz if you use the enclosed molds. To add insult to injury, each bite-sized portion costs nearly $1 each! Save your money – if making soap with your child/ren is something you really want to do, buy 1 lb of glycerin…($8), your favorite scent…($2), and a mold of you or your child’s favorite shape…($2). For $14 you can have that afternoon and twice as much soap your child can give as gifts or keep for himself. I gave this 3 stars for educational, bonding aspects and overal concept, but this kit just isn’t worth it.

This soap making kit is great fun for birthday parties. We used it with 7 8-year-old girls, and they each made their individually scented soap. The soaps are tiny, but it said so in the item description. The girls still had great fun with it, and I like that it is all natural.

This review is from: Kiss Naturals: DIY Soap Making Kit (Toy)
I bought this with the intention of having my neices and nephews play together and have something to take home at the end of the day. This requires adult supervision as you will need to microwave the soap bar to melt it and make sure the kids do not burn themselves on it. You mix the scents that’s given and pour them into the moulding trays. The heart shapes are actually very small – not big enough to use as an actual soap, perhaps 1 inch at it’s widest length. I probably would not recommend this for a 6 yr old or younger, but depending on your child, a mature 7 – 8 yr old that’s good with manual dexterity and other crafts would be ideal. Otherwise you pretty much just make a mess and are unable to actually create a successful soap mould as the melted liquid soap needs to be quickly mixed with the scent and poured into the small trays.
