Review on Gemstones Soap Making Kit: Ultimate DIY Craft Project and STEM Science Experiment for Kids Ages 8 and Up by Andrea Lee

This soap making kit was a huge disappointment for my 5 and 7 year olds. There was not enough soap base to make 2 soaps of each of the 6 colors included and only 5 small pieces of glycerine soap base were included in the kit. In general, the dyes themselves were disappointingly ugly, especially the pink (more like orange) and blue (greenish?). The scent contained was nothing like lavender. The molds themselves are a thin plastic sleeve (like the one toys are packaged in). They weren't thick enough to form the correct shape, leaving a finished soap with bumpy edges and not attractive at all. The kit instructions say the molds can be reused, but I definitely wouldn't do that. They don't hold their shape at all and wrinkle too much. Next time I want to buy a craft kit I'll grab Hearthsong or just buy my own supplies. They were meant to be used for gifts but this set wasn't worth the money. My kids weren't impressed with the end product and neither was I.
