Fun, easy craft for my dino-loving 7 year old son
This was a fun, easy craft for my kids to do the day after Christmas. Everything needed is included in the box (except a microwave safe cup) and adult assistance is required for handling hot liquids. You need to move quickly after heating the soap base as it re-hardens fairly quickly, so make sure all you've pre-selected and opened the dye, scent, and glitter containers.It can get a little messy, so i recommend putting down a plastic disposable table cloth before starting. Colorful dino soaps were ready within 45 minutes and my kids are excited to bathe with them tonight!

Simple and Fun - Great Gift
Used this with my 4 year old. There are molds which must be snapped together properly. Everything you need is in the box. In other sets I've seen you need to buy other supplemental products, but in this one - the colors you can add, and scents (if you want) are there. Detailed instructions on how to use these additions -as well - as how to do multicolors. The only criticism I have is that there is a 'stand' to hold the mold while it cools and it can only hold one soap at a time. So if you want to make more than one at a time, you need to set up another stand (we used a dish rack) to hold the molds as they cooled. They cannot be laid down flat or the liquid will pour out. Just be prepared in your set up - read all the instructions first and you'll be fine. it was a lot of fun to make - and to use the soaps later. Great product and would buy again.

This is really cool
I ordered for my son for a Christmas gift and he loved it. He had alot of fun making the soaps. The scents were super hard to open, one I never was able to actually open and they aren't very strong. The instructions say to use a few drops but you have to use a lot more to get an actual smell. The milds are nice and it's very easy to use. Clean up isn't ridiculous but it's a little tedious when the soap cools off and sticks to the bowls. You get a good I think we got 8 dinosaurs out of it which I feel is good. They're small, the size for maybe a lego person to ride on but it's cute. Great gift for a little kid and I enjoyed it too.

Extremely difficult
I bought this for my 5 year old. It is recommended ages 6 and older. It is super challenging even for me. At this point I've taken over the project because my 5 year old just can't add the color, scent glitter and then try and pour the soap before it turns solid again. I tossed the "beaker" out after the first Dinosaur and I'm just using my measuring cup. By the time you pour from your measuring cup to the breaker everything is nearly solid again. The molds are not well designed. You really need to move everything around while you are pouring it if you want to get feet, a head and a tail. It is very challenging to get all the body parts and you have to move extremely quickly and efficiently, something my mature 5 year old can not do. Even as and adult, I have to microwave the soap several times because it hardens in the measuring cup while I'm pouring it in the mold.I would not recommend this. It is just frustrating and challenging but my kids still liked using the glitter soap instead of regular boring soap.... only reason why it got any stars.

Too many issues for this to be an enjoyable craft project.
I purchased this kit for my five year old and I to do together. This kit left me irritated, and annoyed.There are so many problems in my opinion.First problem- The booklet says to microwave for 10 seconds, however as soon as it's done, it starts hardening extremely fast. I ended up having to put it in for 20-25 seconds per each time...sometimes twice in total like 10 times for one soap! It would still harden while pouring it in the mold. At this point I will admit, I dropped a few small curse words, maybe an f-bomb once or twice!Second problem- The liquid soap would harden,and clog up the mold. I would poke things in, to unclog, and reheat and pour,and it would just keep clogging it up and then overflowing. Ugh....at this point I felt like I was losing some of my sanity. I wanted this to work. My daughter was so excited for this purple blue red orange glittery dinosaur soap, so we trudged on.I have to mention, I accidentally poked 2 holes in this stupid mold with a metal oven thermometer, while trying to unclog it, because the soap would not go into the tail. I poured and poured and still an empty tail. My daughter was upset. She didn't want a dinosaur soap without a tail. I wouldn't either...so I finally pried the mold apart with my hands and poured liquid soap in the tail, and closed it back up. We have a tail.Also, it took more than one little bar to fill up one dinosaur mold. I believe I used one and a half., which is ridiculous,considering there is so much residual you have to cut off after you unmold it. I am saving it, to remelt...maybe...At the end of this craft project, we had one cute dinosaur soap, but to get it, in my opinion was not worth it at all. A complete pain in the derriere. I don't think we are going to revisit this kit. My daughter said she wanted flowers and butterflies, so I think I'm going to get some molds on etsy and some soap base elsewhere, and we will do that instead.Also I think you are supposed to get 3 different dinosaur molds, and we got 2 of the same and 1 different.Just a side note: I enjoy doing crafty projects, even the labor intensive crafty ones with my child. We do them all of the time.

Absolutely Fun!
Did this kit with my eight year old grandson twice now. It comes with tons of supplies. When we used up the soap that was included I ordered more soap and we were able to use the molds and other supplies again. Even after two uses we still have enough coloring and scent to use several more times. The molds and items included are very durable and will last a long time. The finished soaps are so cute and fun to use for hand washing or bathing. I would recommend this for ages 6-12.
