Erupting Botanicals Land Before Time

Step back in time with Erupting Botanicals Land Before Time—a hands-on, sensory science adventure built for curious minds. This captivating two-layer fizzing experience blends a sandy base with a chocolate-toned top, all embedded with dried petals, gem stones, bio glitter, mica, and plant-based powders. As soon as water touches the mix, a safe, foamy eruption reveals the hidden treasures, turning play into a prehistoric spectacle.

Two-layer eruption design: at the bottom sits a real sand fizzing mix that provides texture and a satisfying crunch, while the top layer delivers a cocoa-colored, chocolate-hued fizz. When the ingredients meet water, the duo erupts in bubbly motion, lifting petals and glitter to the surface for a dramatic reveal you can see, smell, and feel.

What’s inside and what you’ll notice

• 100ml plastic tub (reusable and fully recyclable)
• Double-layer composition: sand fizzing base and chocolate top for layered visual drama
• Dried petals, gem stones, bio glitter, mica for sparkle and color
• Plant-based powders to add natural hue
• Baking soda and citric acid as the fizzing chemistry
• Each botanical hand-mixed, with slight color variation between batches

Safety, supervision, and handling

This potion set is designed for safe, supervised play. The fizzing relies on citric acid and baking soda, so adult oversight is essential to ensure experiments stay within the instructions provided. The product is produced in a facility that may handle common allergens such as wheat, dairy, celery, eggs, and nuts, so please note cross-contact considerations. Do not ingest the mixtures, and keep the area clean and away from food. Treat the working space as a small laboratory: well-lit, ventilated, clear of obstructions, and with a nearby water source. Dispose of chemicals in accordance with local regulations; never pour fizzing mixtures down the sink. Protective eyewear and gloves should be used by supervising adults where appropriate, and always follow the included safety guidelines before beginning any activity.

How to use (simple, safe steps)

1. Set up a clear, washable surface and gather any required tools as directed.
2. Open the tub and invite your young scientist to observe the layered textures, colors, and embedded botanicals.
3. Add a small amount of water to start the fizzing; watch the bottom sand layer fizz and the chocolate layer swirl to life, carrying petals and gems to the surface.
4. Encourage exploration: describe the colors, textures, and the bubbling action as the layers interact. Keep the activity limited to the listed experiments for safety.
5. After the eruption settles, rinse the area and hands, and store the tub for future exploration.

Who this is for and ideal use cases

Erupting Botanicals Land Before Time is perfect for curious minds who love hands-on science, sensory play, and nature-inspired creativity. It’s ideal for at-home science time, rainy-day activities, themed storytelling sessions, or small-group discovery moments at home or classrooms. The combination of tactile sand texture, shimmering botanicals, and eruptive chemistry makes it a memorable, educational experience that engages multiple senses.

Practical notes and tips for lasting enjoyment

• Keep the tub closed when not in use to protect the botanicals and maintain the visual appeal of the glitter and mica.
• Because each batch is hand-mixed, expect slight color variation—that's part of the charm and a reminder of the care behind every boatload of rocks, petals, and sparkles.
• Use on a washable surface or outdoors to simplify cleanup and preserve the magic of the eruption without staining fabrics or furniture.

Handmade Botanical Sensory Pot

Bring nature into sensory play with our beautifully handcrafted Botanical Sensory Pots. Each pot is carefully created by hand using a unique combination of coloured powders, dried botanicals and natural textures to create a stunning sensory experience that encourages imaginative play, exploration and creativity.

Please Note

Every Botanical Sensory Pot is individually handcrafted and arranged by hand before leaving our workshop. The product photographs show each pot at the point it is freshly made.

Because these pots contain fine powders and lightweight dried botanicals, it is completely normal for the contents to move during packing, handling and transit through the postal system. This means your pot may arrive with some of the coloured powder having settled or moved upwards, and the design may look different from the photographs.

This is an expected characteristic of the product and is not considered a fault or defect. It does not affect the quality, quantity, safety or play value of your Botanical Sensory Pot in any way. Every pot contains the same carefully measured ingredients and is made to the same high standard.

In fact, no two Botanical Sensory Pots are ever identical. Each one is handmade, making every pot beautifully unique.

Thank you for supporting a small UK business where every product is made with care, attention to detail and a love of creative play.

Please Note: As this is a handmade product containing fine powders and dried botanicals, the contents may naturally shift during transit. Your pot may not look identical to the product photographs on arrival, but this is completely normal and does not affect the quality or amount of product received.
