Younger children (5+) will delight in exploring this kit, with an adult's help to get started. (It is a wonderful way for adults to spend time with children one on one... perfect for the long summer afternoons in the holidays).
Older kids can work with it independently, using the unique special effects to create intricate and stunning artworks.

Reviews:
The instructions were clear and we had everything we needed in the box. It was such fun watching the colours change and we loved using the dropper to make patterns. Even though this was a gift for my son, we worked with the kit together, it was fascinating! I personally enjoyed this so much more than I thought I would, it was such a nice way to spend time with my son (7). Highly recommended. Dennis
“I love the way this kit allowed us to be creative without the pressure of being “good” at drawing or painting. The transformation of flowers into brightly coloured ink is amazing. I’ll definitely be getting another kit for my niece." Janice
"This was so much fun! It was so satisfying making my own art materials, I’m definitely hooked and can’t wait for summer to try more flowers from my garden" Susanne
Amazing! Thank you so much for making these kits! Nikki (11)
Perfect gift for my 12 year old nephew - he’s a real outdoor kid and has a huge passion for foraging. This afternoon he spent almost two hours completely absorbed with this kit and was so proud to show me what he’d made. - Amie
