Frequently Asked Questions

A little help before the magic begins. Find answers about our potion kits, parties and orders below. If your question isn't here, email us at info@thepotionlab.co.uk.

Choosing a potion kit

What ages are your potion kits suitable for?

Our Frog Froth Potion Kit and Frog Froth Party Pack are recommended for children aged 8+. Our Rainbow and Volcano Fizzing kits, and Fizzing Potion Party Pack, are recommended for children aged 4+. Please check the age guidance on each product page before ordering. All potion making requires adult supervision.

What's the difference between Frog Froth and the fizzing kits?

Frog Froth Potion is reusable and follows a magical recipe, comes with detailed ingredients, wand and makes a colourful, frothy potion in a cauldron. It includes a handmade wooden wand and a refill list. The Rainbow and Volcano Fizzing kits are designed for children to explore colours, textures and fizz through imaginative, open-ended play. Explore our kits.

Is everything needed included?

Each kit contains its listed potion ingredients and equipment. You'll need water for the fizzing kits and a suitable space for some potion-making mess. Check the individual product page for the full contents of the kit you choose.

Does the Frog Froth Potion Kit include all four colours?

The four colour set is an optional extra and is not included in the standard Frog Froth kit. Select it on the Frog Froth product page if you would like all four colours.

Can I personalise a Frog Froth kit?

Yes. You can choose the personalisation option on the Frog Froth product page. A personalised recipe comes as a scroll. Check the options and any additional cost before adding it to your basket.

Can the kits be used again?

Yes. Frog Froth includes a refill list so you can replenish ingredients yourself and enjoy the reusable equipment again. See Frog Froth Potion Kit.

Safety and ingredients

Are your kits safety tested?

Yes. All the kits are independently UKCA tested. Please follow the age guidance and safety instructions for the particular kit.

Do children need adult supervision?

Yes, an adult must supervise potion play at all times. The kits contain small parts; store them out of reach of children and pets when not in use. Potion ingredients are for play and must not be eaten or drunk.

Do the kits contain allergens?

Our kits are packed in premises that handle cereals, nuts including peanuts, soya, sesame and products containing gluten. Sweet almond oil is used in the fizzing rocks and salts. Please read the allergy information on the individual product page before ordering, particularly if your child has an allergy.

Will potion making be messy?

A little mess is part of the fun. We suggest using a tray or wipe-clean surface and clothes you don't mind getting splashed. Protect delicate surfaces and fabrics while children play.

Potion Parties

Which party pack should I choose for my child?

The Frog Froth Party Pack gives children their own cauldrons and wands to make the signature frothy potion and is recommended for ages 7+. The Fizzing Potion Party Pack is recommended for ages 4+ and provides ingredients, mixing tubs, pipettes, scoops, stirring sticks and test tubes for colourful, free-form potion play. Explore party packs.

How early should I order for a party?
