  • Kids float paint on the marbling bath, swirl a pattern, and dip each pot to pick it up

What Your Child Makes

The Water Marbling Planter Kit turns two plain white pots into one-of-a-kind planters. Kids drop paint onto a thickened marbling bath, watch the colors spread across the surface, and swirl them into a pattern with the stir stick. Then they set a pot on the surface and dip it slightly, and the pattern wraps onto the pot. Once the pots are dry, they are ready for a small plant.

No Two Planters Turn Out the Same

Every drop spreads a little differently and every swirl moves the colors somewhere new, so each pot comes out with its own pattern. Kids can use all four colors or stick to two, and the second pot is a chance to try something completely different. Curious about the technique? Read our guide, What Is Water Marbling?

Fun activity!

We absolutely loved our Pinwheel ceramics! 🤍 They turned what could have been a pretty stressful evening into one of those unexpected little memories I’ll probably always remember.

We actually pulled them out during a tornado warning because I needed something fun to distract us, and apparently when life gives us tornadoes… we choose tie-dye ceramics. 😂🌪️🎨

The kit was easy, fun, and something we could genuinely enjoy doing together. Coleson loved getting creative with his, and I loved having an activity that got us sitting together, laughing, and focused on something other than what was happening outside.

Such a fun gift and an even better memory. Thank you, Pinwheel, for sending these to us! We’ll definitely be doing more. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We loved the Water Marbling Planter Kit- it was

We loved the Water Marbling Planter Kit- it was so easy to follow along, the planters came out so pretty and I love that we can keep them to cherish forever! The kids are so happy to have fun plants at their desks to kick off their school year!

Such a fun and easy activity!

Such a fun and easy activity! The water marbling was really cool to watch, and the planter turned out way cuter than I expected. It kept my son entertained and was simple enough that I didn’t have to do a ton of prep. Definitely a fun activity for a rainy day, weekend, or just when you need something different to do! Do note that the water and marbling solution does need to sit for 3 hours. I thought I would be able to make this a before-nap activity to end up being an after-nap activity.

Bored kids? Not on our watch 😅

This Pinwheel Crafts water marbling planter kit has been such a fun, hands-on win in our house 🎨 The kids get to swirl, mix, and design it exactly how they want—no two turn out the same, which makes it even more special.

It’s perfect for those “I’m bored” moments and a must for keeping little hands busy this summer ☀️ (bonus: parents will want in too)

We love that there are so many kits to choose from, the materials feel super high quality, and we’re left with the sweetest little keepsakes made by our kids 💛

So fun!!

Did this with my 3 and 5 year old and they absolutely loved it! They were able to do all of the steps on their own with me just giving them directions. It was so fun for them to use their creativity and now they have little flower pots to use! (Currently with fake flowers but will plant real ones come spring time!)

Water Marbling Planter Kit

This craft kit was super easy to use and perfect for my daughter (10yr). I loved that everything needed was included in the box, which made it completely stress-free to get started right away. The only thing not included was a bowl to mix, but we used an old ice cream pail and it worked perfect! The instructions were simple and very kid-friendly, making it a fun and enjoyable activity. This is a perfect gift idea for those preteens! This kit was gifted by the company, and we truly enjoyed trying it out.

Swirls of FUN!

Gifted kit to try- and it did not disappoint!

My kids were totally into swirling the colors and watching the marble pattern appear. We might’ve gotten a bit carried away with the swirls but there’s no wrong way to create! We filled out finished planter with flowers and it came out adorable!

Questions parents ask

What's included in the Water Marbling Planter Kit?

Two flower pots, 4 marbling paints, a bag of marbling powder, a stir stick, 2 plastic gloves, and step-by-step instructions.

Do the pots need any prep before dipping?

No. The pots go into the marbling bath just as they come in the box. The instructions have no priming step, so once the bath has thickened, kids can drop the paint, swirl, and dip.

How long does it take?

Plan ahead for the marbling bath. Once the marbling powder is mixed in, the bath needs 3 hours to thicken. After that, dropping the paint, swirling, and dipping go quickly, and each pot then dries on a protected surface. Mixing the bath in the morning means kids can marble the same afternoon.

How does water marbling work?

The thickened bath lets paint float on top instead of sinking. Kids squeeze drops of color from about 1 inch above the surface, swirl them into a pattern with the stick, then place a pot on the surface and dip it slightly so the pattern transfers. Keep the dip shallow and do not submerge the pot. Learn more in our guide, What Is Water Marbling?

What ages is it best for?

It is recommended for ages 8 and up, with adult supervision. A grown-up can mix the bath and help with the dip.

Is it safe for kids?

Every Pinwheel Crafts kit is CPSIA compliant, which means it meets the US federal safety requirements for children's products, and this kit conforms to ASTM D-4236, the US labeling standard for art materials. It contains small parts, so it is not for children under 3. Adult supervision is recommended, and plastic gloves are included for the dipping.

What can kids do with the finished planters?

Fill them with a small succulent, a cutting, or a few flowers, or keep one on a desk to hold pencils. Customers have shared photos of their pots planted up and on display at home.

Does it make a good gift?

Yes. With two pots in the box, siblings or friends can each make their own, or a child can keep one and give the other. It is a great pick for birthdays and holidays.
