Let your imagination brew with Hocus Pocus—the Erupting Botanical Potion & Playdough Kit that turns a quiet afternoon into a spellbinding, science-inspired adventure. This magical set pairs a spooktacular potion bottle with edible-looking playdough vibes, deliciously scented toppings, and a ready-to-use cauldron that invites hands-on discovery and imaginative play.

What’s inside the kit

  • Hocus Pocus mix and a chocolate orange playdough blend
  • Wooden stick, cauldron, wooden scoop, and a spider accessory
  • Gouls Gold (magic water) for shimmering, splashy experiments
  • Sprinkles including gem stones and coconut for visual magic
  • Rolling pin and broom to craft, roll, and wave your way through the spell
  • Carefully hand-mixed Erupting Botanicals made from plant-based ingredients

How the magic works

Pour water into the hocus-pocus bottle and add the comet-like botanicals. Watch them transform in the cauldron as the fizzing action activates—creating a safe, tactile eruption you can see, smell, and touch. Stir with the wooden stick, sprinkle on the gem toppings, and bring to life a shimmering, spellbinding scene. Each batch is gently hand-mixed, with color variations that make every spell feel unique.

Notes: the botanicals are plant-based and crafted with care, and the color tones may vary slightly due to the production process. This kit is designed for hands-on play that’s as magical as it is educational—perfect for exploring basic chemistry concepts like fizzing reactions in a safe, supervised setting.

Safety and supervision

Adult supervision is essential. The kit includes fizzy mixtures that contain substances which can be harmful if misused. Please read and follow all safety instructions, safety rules, and first-aid information before beginning any activity. The experiments involve fizzy mixtures that rely on the reaction between acids and bases, so it’s important to conduct them in a clear, well-lit area with proper protection and disposal in line with local regulations. Keep the area away from food, ensure eye protection for supervising adults, and avoid contact with eyes. Dispose of chemicals responsibly and never pour down the sink.

Allergen note: the materials are produced in a facility that may handle wheat, dairy, celery, eggs, and nuts. While every effort is made to minimize cross-contact, please be aware of these potential allergens. If there’s any doubt about safety for a specific child, use discretion and supervise accordingly. This kit includes safety components like safety glasses and a spatula, and it’s designed to be used under adult supervision only.

Who this is ideal for

Creative youngsters and curious minds who love a splash of magic with hands-on learning. Perfect for screen-free playtime, birthday party activities, classroom mini-lessons on fizzing chemistry, or cozy weekend experiments with a grown-up helper. The kit’s tactile elements—the rolling pin, cauldron, and wooden accessories—enhance fine motor skills while the shimmering Gouls Gold and sprinkles spark imaginative storytelling.

We Have Lots More Like This.........

Hello, we are Sostter....

Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?

We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect. Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience.

Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently. Explore our British makers, discover sustainable brands, browse women-led businesses, find the perfect gift for her, or simply wander through our new arrivals and see what finds you.

This is just the beginning. But enough about us — read all about us, or step inside and see what catches your imagination.
