Magic Wand Making Kit for Kids Adults DIY Craft Set Wizard Birthday Party Supplies Make Your Own 8 Wands (24-Piece)

This wand-making kit was such a hit at our party! It’s a fun, creative activity that kids can actually help with, and the results are absolutely adorable. The kit comes with everything you need to get started—including a nice selection of paints—and it’s easy to customize with extras like glitter or stick-on gems (which we added for a little extra magic).A few things to keep in mind: the “wand” is really just a basic wooden stick, so don’t expect anything ornate. But once the air-dry clay is molded around it and painted, it transforms into a magical creation that kids are so proud of. The clay does take several hours to dry, so we made up the wand shapes ahead of time and let the kids paint and decorate them during the party, which worked perfectly.While it’s not a high-end craft kit, for the price, it’s a fantastic value—easy to use, super fun, and great for a variety of ages. It would make an awesome party favor, classroom activity, or rainy-day project. Highly recommend for anyone looking to add a little hands-on magic to their celebration!

Perfect for my Harry Potter loving kiddo. We made these in the spring and they have held up well! Plenty of supplies in the kit and perfect for my 5 year old HP loving son.

For the price it comes with so much! It was perfect for my daughter’s birthday party. There was even left over for her siblings to o make their own wand. Such a great kit!

Fun for all ages! My kids from 5 up to my husband enjoyed making a wand. The clay is easy to use, you can be very creative, the paint colors are perfect. We love our wands! I highly recommend!

This kit was a lot of fun! It contains everything that is needed -- sticks, modeling-clay/modeling-foam, paint, and paint brushes. The image shows the wand that I made using the provided materials. I had some leftover foam/modeling-clay material, so I made the little snake with the leftovers. The pictures that come with the kit show finely detailed spirals on some of the wands, but when we tried to make details that small using the provided foam/modeling-clay material we couldn't get them to stay attached to the wooden sticks. The instructions show that hot glue can be used to create fine details (or even all of the details); I believe the smallest details in their sample images were probably made using the hot glue method rather than the foam/modeling-clay method. Obviously small children can't be given hot glue guns and a large group at a party cannot safely use hot glue guns all at the same time; so the foam/modeling-clay is the way to go. (Hot glue and hot glue guns are not provided in the kit.) The provided paint is acrylic; that's good because it gives nice colors and the paint brushes can be cleaned up with water -- but that could be bad because if it gets on clothes it has to be washed out immediately. So if if this was to be used at a party with little kids, having appropriate "art clothes" or smocks or something would be appropriate. We allowed the foam/modeling-clay on our wands (and my snake) to dry/cure overnight before painting; I do not know what the minimum time would be -- but one could not paint immediately after forming the shapes. I formed the foam/modeling-clay by hand and then used a paint brush handle to press details into the material. I applied the main layer of paint one day and then came back and added details and touch-ups on a second day (obviously that could not be done during a party). Wands covered in fresh paint cannot be transported; having a place for them to dry overnight is important. This deserves a lot of stars because it really is a full kit and really is a LOT of fun. I can't give it 5/5 stars because the kit gives the impression that the sample wand images on the packaging could be duplicated by a group of children during the duration of a child's birthday party without ruining anyone's clothes -- that's misleading. So long as people have a realistic understanding of what the materials can do, this is an amazing kit. At some point, I will buy this again.

These were AMAZING for my son's HP themed party. It was a wonderful activity for the kids and then doubles as the goodbye party favor! kids ages ranged 5 to 10 at the party and everyone loved doing this. 3 adults even had fun making wands. The 5-yr-olds did need some assistance, but still enjoyed working on their wands.We bought this kit and a similar kit that included hot glue instead of clay. Both kits were used and loved, but kids really enjoyed molding things with the clay. This clay is very light... Like marshmallows after it dries. I was worried when ordering thinking it would be too heavy like modeling clay but it was perfect. I think it's a great deal for what you get inside the box.If you do it at a kids party, do it as the first activity so that the clay and paint can dry by the time the party ends!

Great wand making set for a birthday party. Ages ranged from 4 to 12 and everyone was into it. You do not need to be talented at crafting to pull this off, it's very easy to use the set. We added a few more colors of acrylic paint (metallic colors!!) and we had little rhinestones available, which works better with hot glue. The clay is more like air dry foam. We had the kids mold the clay at the beginning of the party and then I put it in my oven on the bread proof setting, at 95°. That works great. I left them in there for 45 minutes or an hour while the kids played, and then they were ready to paint. It was a hit, and it was the party favor everyone took home!

Fun for kids:Although the kids did have fun making these, the colors did not stay on well. They didn’t even really go on well to begin with. It was a fun activity just a little disappointing in the end result of them.
