Buki France 5420 Professional Studio Candles. Kids DIY Candle Maker & Decorating Kit with Lots of Accessories. Make your own Candles in the Microwave. Childrens STEM Toy. Suitable for Boys & Girls 7+

Brought one for my u tear old niece and she loved it, needed a little help from an adult in terms of heating the wax and setting it up, but other than that it's a great kit. More grown up than the usual childrens candle making kits. I have purchased another for my 7 year old daughter.

Christmas present for my 8yr daughter but we all got involved making and decorating candles. Would highly recommend. The contents are good quality. Lots of fun making the different shape candles. 👍👏🏻

We got this kit for our niece who is nearly six and quite grown-up for her age, (so the age 7+ guidelines wasn’t an issue). Everything was crafted whilst supervised of course and is a nice activity to do together with children, whilst chatting and having a bit of ‘quiet time’ during the festive period.First impressions are a quite a big box and so it looked very impressive wrapped up.Second impressions were ‘Woah that’s a lot of plastic!’I was also concerned the plastic moulds may not be up to the job (more on that later). You can buy more wax on amazon and I dare say it would work fine with generic waxes too.The instruction booklet is clear and the colour photos most helpful, especially for a child. We found we needed to reinforce the plastic moulds with sellotape but then they worked very well once strengthened. They will need to be handled with care to ensure they remain useful for future crafting which is a bit of a negative for an item to be used by someone young.The glitter and gems were of course a huge hit with our niece and own grandchildren one of whom is a magpie it seems!I quite enjoyed this myself as an adult - and that's important because it means you will spend time with your child helping which, inevitably means time together doing something creative. A real plus point.If I could have added different scents to the kit to make scented candles, that would have been the icing on the cake (however the intended recipient, our six year old niece, would have never requested this so I don’t think children will think it’s lacking whatsoever). I also think it’s a little expensive when checking the costs out but, I'm new to candle making so perhaps it is the going rate.Our niece was definitely very happy.

Professional candle maker excellent service item and great value for money highly recommend

Quite a well designed kit and not too messy.You’ll need a microwave, preferably 750W and accurate kitchen scales for the wax. And sellotape for fixing the wax in the small moulds.You can make up to three candles in a session. However you can only melt the wax for the larger moulds one at a time.My microwave allows only a choice of 950W or 600W. I tried it on high power for short bursts. The candles are coloured with shavings of wax crayons, with the sharpener provided, using up about a third of the crayon, so I don’t get an insipid colour.I found I did get some drips on the bottom of the plastic pan when I poured out the wax, so do protect your digital scales! Otherwise the lid that fits on when it comes out the microwave is great.You get two bags of soya wax and the candles I’ve made in the picture are just into the second bag.I now have to let them set for 12 hours.I do find the ra ra, look how environmentally sound we are for using soya wax annoying, when several tubes of glitter are included for decoration. Yes we all grew up enchanted by glitter, but it is an unrecyclable microplastic that can be washed into the food chain. There is also a considerable amount of extra wrapping in the kit.Overall, it’s a good present with clear instructions, and easy to set up tidily. Just so long as you are prepared for the long time the wax takes to set.

I have just spent a lovely weekend making candles as gifts for friends with my 6 and 7 year old daughters using this set. Note that the wax takes up to 12 hours to set, hence the whole weekend of making!It was surprisingly easy to use. The fact that you only need to microwave the soya wax to melt it was a real bonus and saved on time and mess (do protect your surfaces though, we used an oil cloth to protect the table and I am really pleased we did!). The accompanying instructions were detailed and well set out.Whilst I handled most of the hot wax the children loved helping to position the wick (don't forget this bit, we have one wick-less candle!!) and then decorating their creations with the various jewels etc. The way in which the set works means that most sensible 7 year olds could fill the moulds themselves.I like that this set has a life beyond the use of the wax. You can either buy a refill set or other waxes and fill the moulds with them. We made some lovely festive themed candles, the gold pen being especially useful. The glitter was good too if a little non environmentally friendly!The wax was easy to colour too by mixing in shavings of the coloured wax crayons.It is worth noting that this set comes in a big box and would make a brilliant and impressive looking gift.

What a lovely kit, we thoroughly enjoyed making the candles, we have wrapped them up as Christmas gifts. my 13 year old really enjoyed following the instructions and making them and so did I. Such a lovely present, I will be buying my 9 year old Niece this kit for her next birthday as I thought it was great

Voilà un cadeau ludique et bien pensé.

La verdad es que en un primer momento me esperaba algo bastante simple y regulero. La verdad que las velas quedan muy chulas y descorativamente están verdaderamente bien. Buena actividad para hacer con los peques

Not worth it, after waiting do long I got an opened box, I should have went with toysrus, this was a waste of time

Mon petits adore et super pratique .

È un ottimo kit per candele davvero completo . La cera si scalda nel pentolino al microonde. Ovviamente un adulto deve aiutare i bambini nei vari procedimenti ma poi il risultato è molto bello : candele fatte in casa pronte a essere decorate. Consiglio
