My DIL tried making bombs on her own (not this kit) and was unsuccessful in getting the bombs to hold together. I wanted to try with the kids with this kit, but we didn't tell the children about it yet. My DIL and I made a batch after the kids went to sleep (4 yo & 6 yo). I wanted to make sure we could successfully make them before letting the kids try them. I didn't want them getting frustrated.These were perfect. The three different sized molds came in handy as my granddaughter has tiny fingers so the small size was perfect for her to push and hold together. She even did the mid-sized molds (my favorite). It's nice that you get two of each size, so both grandkids got their own set. There was a learning curve, but more of that later. I did not try the shrink wrap and sealer thingy, but the gift bags are lovely. I didn't find out how many you can pack into the bags as I left Georgia before they were cured (24-48 hrs). The molds washed up nicely. They feel like aluminum but I forgot if they said stainless steel or aluminum. Don't put aluminum in the dishwasher. And, they are durable molds as they got dropped from table height multiple times and were just fine. I do not know how they are in the bath yet.We used the recipe that came with the kit. I had success while my DIL (daughter-in-law) struggled. I believe it has to do with how hard you pack the two sides before squeezing them together. Pack a little lightly (much less than packing brown sugar) and then over-flow each side by sprinkling more bath bombs material over each half of the mold. Rest one edge along a finger, bring the other half to the same location on your finger so the edges are lined up, and press together hard. Do NOT twist. You should see some material spew out the seam between the two halves. Remove excess with you fingers. Tap the top of one and gently remove the mold. If it doesn't come off, tap some more. Carefully place your hand over the released half and gently flip the bomb into that hand, keeping your other hand on the mold side. Tap, gently release the other half of the mold, and quickly (!) put the bomb gently on a plate. Do not hold up the bomb to show someone as my grandson did and then it quickly collapsed. Do not try to smooth out the seam as it is fragile and you will cause the bombe to either significantly dent or crumble. I tried different techniques and was unsuccessful. Maybe after they dry you can do it? The bombs need to dry/cure for 24-48 hrs and then you can shrink wrap and package.Tips:1. We weighed out the ingredients so you will need a scale.2. We made multiple batches of only the dry ingredients and saved them in separate zip lock storage bags The corn starch sticks like crazy, to everything, so it's easier to have it all set to go for future trials with only one messy clean up. When emptying contents from the bag, if you plan on reusing the bags, invert the bag inside out and dust off the remaining sediments into the bowl/container you are working with.3. For two different bomb scents, weigh your bowl. Write it down. Tare the scale with the bowl and measure all the ingredients into the bowl. Mix all the dry ingredients together very (!) well. Measure the bowl and contents, subtract the weight of the bowl that you wrote down and you have the weight of just the dry ingredients. You divide that number by two, and that is how much you weigh out for each batch. I suggest only 2 because the wet ingredients are so minimal that it would be hard to break down between more batches.4. ingredients. Make sure your baking soda is fresh for best results (fizz in the bath tub).5. Color. I bought dry mica colors. These gave shuttle color to the bombs, but perhaps affected the dry-to-wet ratio of ingredients? At. Buff City Soap you can paint your own colors onto the already-cured bombs. The colors are MUCH more vibrant that way, but I don't know what liquid they use to suspend the colors in because water would start to dissolve the bombs. Maybe alcohol of some sort?6. The essential oils you add to the wet ingredients is not diluted.7. Combining crafts. Since we already had the essential oils out, and we had left over we pocket-sized roller-ball vials with crystals inside (kids loved that project from the last time I visited), we made the remaining ones for us (I brought some new fragrances) and as scent-therapy gifts for my daughter-in-law's parents.Enjoy, the kit has a lot to offer for the price and I would definitely buy this again

The overall kit is good, even provides instructions for you if you do not know how to make.

I wanted to make bath bombs for the first time. The kit has everything you need as a beginner and in a great price! The molds are good both size and material (I like the variety in sizes) I would prefer if they didn’t have the little dent on both sides (top & bottom) but I guess it’s not a big deal if you make them as a hobby. They’re very easy to use. The sealer I’ve only used it a couple times and it worked but it looks like cheap material and I don’t know how many more times it’s gonna last. The bags, the measure spoons and the flowered pouches worked great for me and it was very helpful to have somewhere to put my bath bombs when I wanted to give them away to friends and family! Very happy with my purchase🙂

I used this to make eczema bath bombs to make my toddler’s bathtime a little more fun. This set has all the tools I need. The molds are a bit small compared to the store-bought bath bombs, but just the right size that I need because I didn’t really want to make large bath bombs. I was also worried about the sealer from the reviews, but it works as it should. I don’t think the sealer is meant as a standalone, since the seal easily opens. You must shrink wrap the bag with a heat gun after using the sealer. I still think it is a great set for the price, I recommend it.

I purchased two sets for making bath bombs. The metal molds work beautifully. The decorative draw string bags are made well and will be perfect for gift giving. One of the mini sealers stopped working after only a couple of uses. I contacted the company and received a response within 24 hours. The customer service was prompt and professional and very fair. Even without the sealer and plastic shrink bags this set is worth the price.
