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?

We had so much fun making this kit together with my kids! They enjoyed every bit of it.
We had SO MUCH FUN!
My kids are already asking for another craft, the fun we had and how proud they were of themselves is so so special! Will be back for more thanks pinwheel!
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 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! 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.
Me and my kids had so much fun using this Water Marbling Planter Kit that we were gifted! She uses it as decorative utensil holders for her mini kitchen.
We had so much fun with the Water Marbling Planter Kit! 🎨💕 Everything we needed was included, the instructions were easy to follow and watching the colors swirl together was such a fun part of the process. It made for a creative, hands-on activity and we absolutely loved how our little planters turned out! 🌈✨
This is such a fun craft kit! My daughters and I just loved decorating these planters together! 🥰The colors were beautiful and pastel and the instructions were easy to understand. I did this with my 1 and 13-year-old and we we're laughing and enjoying time together the entire time! We love the way our planners turned out! ❤️ We literally cannot wait to discover more products from Pinwheel Crafts ! I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.
This craft was so much fun to do. Just know preparation is a must the water takes 3 hrs to thicken and I used my own vinyl gloves for grippiness of tiny hands :) the colors are vibrant ! And paint dries quickly !!!
Loved spending time with my daughter creating a fun and memorable keepsake for us to cherish for years to come.
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 💛
I was gifted a Watermarbling kit from pinwheel crafts for an honest review and I am so impressed with this craft kit. My little one loved it, he really enjoyed putting all the colors in and watching the process take shape. I will definitely be recommending to my family and friends. If you’re looking for something fun to do definitely give this a try!
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!)
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.
This planter kit turned into the prettiest swirl art without any mess or effort.
Such a relaxing DIY and the colors came out so beautiful. Highly recommend!
We were gifted the water marbling painter set, and my toddler had so much fun going through the steps with me. This is such a fun and engaging gift. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone with a child who loves art!
I did this Water Marbling Kit with my kids and we absolutely loved it. We received it as a gift to try, It’s very easy to use, not messy, and kept the kids entertained for a long time. They were so excited watching the colors float and mix on the water, and their final designs came out beautiful.
The quality of the materials is excellent, and the kit includes everything you need. It’s a creative, fun, and relaxing activity to enjoy as a family. We can't wait to do another pinwheel craft!
We received this kit as a gift and my 5 year old and I had SO MUCH fun creating different colors and patterns. He loved adding paint and trying to make different designs. The kit was put together beautifully and it was so easy to follow the directions.
My kids and I had so much fun with this marbling kit! We received it as a gift to try, and it was a total hit. Our favorite part was creating the patterns in the water. We can’t wait to do another pinwheel craft!
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.
