I ordered this as an activity to complete with my 8-year-old son. We knew to make the solution a day early per the other reviews and it is called out in large letters on the box. It takes some practice to figure out how to make the drops do what you want and to avoid over-swirling your patterns. We had a great time working on these together and plan to frame our art. We have plenty of supplies to do it a few more times.

I bought this without knowing about the 24-hour preparation time. But do not let that scare you. Just boil the water & add one scoop of the stuff it calls for. Super easy. If I can do it, anyone can. I loved everything about this craft.

This is my favorite gift my daughter got at her birthday party! It works so much better than I imagined, and we made really unique and cool art! She definitely needed assistance to make the art (especially putting the paper on top of the paint swirl and removing it to the drying rack) but she totally was able to add the paint and swirl it and loved it. We didn’t wait the 24 hours I put the carrageenan powder (plus a little extra) in a Pyrex measuring vessel, added water, heated in a kettle, stirred it for a bit, and then strained out the undissolved chunks. It worked fine that way!
