Tap into the season of renewal with the Spring Surprise Potion Kit—a delightful, hands-on science-and-m magic experience for curious kids. This plant-based, hand-mixed kit brings springtime wonders to life in a reusable metal bucket, with a dash of candy floss for a splash of whimsy. Watch beads of colour bloom and fizz as simple water unlocks a miniature botanical potion show right at home.
What’s in the kit
- Spring surprise fizzing mixture (contains citric acid)
- Shimmering clouds (salt) for mesmerizing textures
- Wooden scoop and sturdy metal bucket
- Evening sunset: mallow and dried leaves for visual drama
- Carrot cake: dried carrot & petals for a sweet, earthy note
- Goggles for easy, safe exploration
- Candy floss (magic water) to transform the scene
How it works
Just add water to the fizzing mixture and stir with the wooden scoop. The erupting botanicals come to life, releasing colour, fizz, and tiny blooms as the “magic water” activates the spring ingredients. Each botanical is thoughtfully hand mixed and plant-based, so you can explore the science of effervescence while enjoying a visually magical show.
Why this kit is unique
- Plant-based, hand-mixed botanicals: Every eruption is crafted from natural materials and mixed by hand for a tactile, authentic experience.
- Seasonal, kid-friendly theatre: The evening sunset and dried botanicals create a gentle, immersive scene that captivate kids without overwhelming their senses.
- Color and texture variety: Expect slight colour shifts between batches—each eruption has its own springtime personality.
- Reusable setup: The metal bucket and wooden scoop invite ongoing experiments or party activites with future springs.
- Safety-first design: Goggles are included for precautionary fun; adult supervision is advised to manage the fizzy chemistry safely.
Safety and supervision
The kit is designed for safe, supervised play. It contains fizzy mixtures with citric acid and sodium bicarbonate, which can be harmful if used incorrectly. Read and follow all instructions, keep the activity area well lit and ventilated, and supervise every step. Do not pour chemicals down the sink; dispose of them according to local regulations. The product is manufactured in a facility that may handle allergens such as wheat, dairy, celery, eggs, and nuts, so please note the allergen information. Eye protection for supervising adults is not included, and care should be taken to avoid contact with eyes.
Ideal for
- Family science nights and exploratory play at home
- Spring-themed birthday activities with a gentle, magical twist
- Classroom or club activities that blend STEM with storytelling and art
Tips for best results
- Set up a clean, well-lit workspace near a water source and a smooth surface for safe handling of the fizzing mixtures.
- Adjust the amount of water to control the intensity and duration of the eruption—experiment with a little more or less to suit your scene.
- Let children describe what they see—the changing colours, textures, and “sparks” of the spring botanicals help build vocabulary and observational skills.
- Store the kit away from direct heat and moisture; use the included bucket and scoop for repeat play sessions.
With the Spring Surprise Potion Kit, you’re gifting more than a playful activity—you’re inviting discovery, creativity, and a little seasonal magic. It’s the perfect blend of gentle science and storytelling that families will return to again and again.

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.
