Review on 🧚 Craftastic Fairy Potions: Magical Crafting for Enchanting Results by Darius Newberry

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Think before you brew potions.

My granddaughter who will soon be 10 loved this set! I enjoyed watching her do it. She could do everything herself. The only problem she had was using "unicorn hair". These are strands of iridescent cellophane, and it's hard to put them in a bottle. We ended up wrapping it around our finger then pulling it into a tight bun and then tucking it in. There are also many materials for crafting all bottles. We don't have much left and will be looking for empty bottles to make more. The only downside I thought was that you have to plan it. You get enough to craft 9 bottles. 5 of them are large and 4 are small (from memory so I may be wrong how they are divided). Short pieces like plastic unicorns and flowers will NOT fit in small bottles. So save any potion that uses them for large bottles. My granddaughter only had 1 large bottle and 3 small bottles when it occurred to me that those chunky pieces wouldn't fit in the small bottles. Luckily we only have 1 left. All in all it was a hit! Just plan ahead what potions you're going to make based on the size of the bottle and the ingredients, and everything will work perfectly.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
