How messy is this project, and how do I clean up afterward?

While there might be a bit of flour dust and a few spills, it’s nothing a quick wipe down can’t fix. Keep a damp cloth or wet wipes nearby for easy cleanup.

Is this project safe for kids?

Absolutely! The ingredients are non-toxic and easy to work with. However, supervise younger children while handling small items like molds or if using sharp tools.

Can I substitute any of the materials?

Yes, you can miss the cornstarch without a problem. If you lack essential oils, try using dried herbs or even natural extracts if you'd prefer something readily available.

What if my stones crumble when I take them out of the molds?

This can happen if they weren’t well formed. Press them down firmly and ensure they are dry enough before attempting to remove them.

How long do these stones last?

With proper storage, your aromatic stones can last quite a long time. However, if you notice a decline in scent, you can always refresh them with a few drops of oil.
