Welcome to your magical journey! At Wand & Wonder, we believe in blending STEM learning with storytelling to spark curiosity, inspire creativity, and make learning enchanting. This guide will help you care for your potion set while discovering the science and imagination woven into every spell.

The Magic of STEM Through Storytelling

Every potion tells a story, and every story reveals the magic of science. With Wand & Wonder, potion-making becomes a unique way to explore STEM concepts like chemical reactions, color science, and problem-solving—all while embarking on an imaginative adventure.

Here’s how we make magic:

• Interactive Adventures: Follow enchanting tales while engaging with hands-on experiments.

• Scientific Discovery: Learn about the reactions, measurements, and transformations that bring your potions to life.

• Imaginative Play: Unleash creativity through storytelling and crafting magical recipes.

Essentials of Potion Crafting

Your potion set is designed with care to ensure a magical and educational experience:

• Eco-Friendly Ingredients:

• Biodegradable glitter, natural mica, and kid-safe powders create stunning sensory effects.

• Shimmering liquids and fizzing powders blend real-world science with magical fun.

• Reusable Tools:

• Measuring scoops, stirring wands, and bowls mimic real lab equipment while encouraging imaginative play.

• Potion Recipe Cards:

• Step-by-step instructions guide you through crafting potions, introducing STEM concepts like observation, measurement, and experimentation.

Setting Up Your Potion Lab

Transform your space into a magical potion-making lab with these tips:

1. Prepare Your Space:

Choose a flat surface and protect it with a tray or mat. Potion-making can get messy, and that’s part of the fun!

2. Gather Your Supplies:

Have water, your potion ingredients, and mixing tools nearby.

3. Follow the Magic:

Use your recipe cards to mix, measure, and explore, or invent your own potions for endless creativity.

Magical Ingredients & Storage Tips

Keep your potion ingredients fresh with these storage tips:

• Store powders and liquids in a cool, dry place to prevent clumping or separation.

• Shake shimmering liquids before each use to reactivate their sparkle.

• Tighten bottle caps securely if traveling with your potion set.

Safety First: Magical Guidelines

Our potion sets are safe and designed for all potion-makers, but here are some important tips:

• Recommended for ages 4+ with adult supervision.

• Ingredients are non-toxic but are not for consumption.

• Avoid contact with eyes, sensitive skin, or cuts. Wash hands thoroughly after potion-making.

The STEM Behind the Magic

Your potion-making journey introduces key STEM concepts in a fun, hands-on way:

• Chemical Reactions: Watch powders and liquids combine to create fizzing, bubbling magic.

• Color Science: Discover how pH indicators and special pigments transform colors with different ingredients.

• Precision and Measurement: Use scoops and wands to practice accuracy and experiment like a real scientist.

• Problem-Solving Through Play: Solve riddles, follow maps, and craft your own magical recipes to explore new ideas.

Through the magic of storytelling, these STEM principles become an exciting part of every adventure.

Extending the Magic

The magic doesn’t end with your kit! Keep the adventure going with these ideas:

• Invent New Potions: Use items from nature—like petals, leaves, and stones—to create your own recipes and stories.

• Restock Your Supplies: Check out our Potion Refills to keep experimenting and exploring.

• Discover More Adventures: Visit our website for free printable potion recipes, creative STEM activities, and additional themed sets.

Caring for Your Tools

• Wipe wooden tools with a damp cloth and dry immediately to prevent warping. Avoid soaking them in water.

• Rinse bowls and accessories with warm water after use and let them air dry.

• Refresh wooden items with a light coat of natural oil if they start to dry out.

Sustainability Meets Magic

At Wand & Wonder, we prioritize eco-conscious magic:

• Reusable tools, recyclable packaging, and biodegradable ingredients ensure your potions are kind to the planet.

• Encourage creativity and sustainability by reusing your tools and repurposing your materials for new experiments.
