Made By Me Mix & Mold Stepping Stones

This was a fun activity for the kids to do as a gift to their grandma! Highly recommend. Just wish there was more paint included in the kit. Also note for other parents, the plaster is incredibly hard so make it extra runny if you are trying to push a baby hand or foot into it.

My adult daughter made me a “plate” for my Mother's Day gift this year to add to my garden. I had one of her 5 year old hand but it broke during a move. What a priceless gift. It turned out stupendous!!

A creative project for the winter months. Our great grandson has not done this as yet. Busy making snowmen instead. He loves the idea of creating his own theme and has a collection of many objects he may want to add to this project. It is also a project that his dad can partner with him! We are anxious to see the outcome!

I had seen these products in the stores and was considering purchasing several for my grandchildren. When I saw this product offered for the Wal Mart Spark Reviewer program I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to test the craft project with two of my granddaughters. When I opened the box I found all of the instructions and the pieces were included. Two things I was not impressed with was the paintbrush and the gloves. The gloves were stiff and very large. Even an adults hand would not function very well in these gloves. Also the paint brush bristles were very long and stiff. I had vinyl gloves and paint brushes available for my granddaughters to use for their stepping stones. We followed the instructions for the first stepping stone. My suggestion is do not attempt to mix the plaster in the mold itself. It is difficult for a child to mix and water and powder smoothly without it splashing over the edge and the mixture begins to set before the plaster is fully mixed. For the other stones we mixed the plaster in a disposable container and filled the mold. The girls enjoyed making their own creations with the stones, tiles and paints provided in the project box. We enjoyed the project and I will purchase more of these products. Thank you for the opprotunity to test this product.

It was really super easy to make and they turned out super cute! The only thing I didn’t like is it only comes with the dragonfly mold and if you choose to make a handprint in the mix it doesn’t tell you how long it has to sit first or if you should do it right away. They make really cool crafts or cute gifts though. Just takes a little trial and error.

Cute idea but the plaster dried insanely quick and clumped up to the point of no return. Had to scrap it and figure something else out. Plus there's only one mold that has the dragonfly and sun on it and only enough decorative pieces for one stone. Ended up just getting some quick drying concrete, decorative pebbles and my plant saucers for about the same price for way more stones

First time using this brand. It was a mess. Followed the instructions. Tried 3 times ended up throwing all in garbage. complete waste of forty eight dollars. I have been making stepping stones for years and I've never seen a mess like this, it hardened too fast for the kids to do anything. Changed to quick crete fast setting and everything worked perfect.

I had used another brand to make a steppingstone with one of my granddaughters, so I wanted to make another one with my other granddaughter and bought this kit. The plaster dries so fast we barely had time to get the gemstones and shiny things pushed into it. It was quite disappointing. If you wanna make something really fast this is your thing. If you wanna make it how you like it this isn't your thing. I wouldn't recommend it. I'd pick one with quick dry cement in It.

This was a mess. The concrete mix dried faster than I could mix it. Tried it twice and with room temp/warm water it sets too fast. 1 cup of water is not enough - I kept slowly mixing more and it just kept drying. Waste of money.

Cute idea but the kit says it comes with a 3-d mold and it didn't. Had a hard time holding a hand print it is plaster not concrete which based on the name thought we could give for a gift as a stepping stone but I don't think it's durable enough.
