Product Description

Editorial Review

In childhood, stepping stones symbolize the territory we cover, the measured leaps we take from one stage to the next. This Parent's Choice (1998) kit offers children a tangible stepping stone that can be placed in a living room or garden pathway. No matter where the location, it will remain a lasting tribute to a child's growth, achievement, or artistry. The sack of dry cement is mixed with water and poured into a square mold. Glitter and an assortment of colorful stones come with the kit and can be used for decoration. Children can also press their hand- or footprints into the stones or etch words, drawings, or designs into them. Footprints might celebrate a toddler's first step (obviously, parents will need to make the stone in this case); a handprint might honor a child's kindergarten graduation; or a baseball drawing could commemorate a kid's first home run. The possibilities are endless.

This review is from: Kid's Mosaic Stone Kit (Toy)

I bought this product for my son (he's 6) over the summer through a different website and I just bought another one as a Christmas gift for a niece. It was educational because he helped me mix the base mix and then was able to make a creative design of his own which he loved. Later he gave the stone as a special gift to my mother who loves to garden. Very special gift for an artistic child. As for the other review here... There are so many products out there the are known to cause cancer in the state of California (tableware, makeup, power tools) its actually quite humorous look up proposition 65 if you are really concerned with it. As with many art projects its important to watch your children and help them with mixing chemicals, make it a project you do together. I would absolutely recommend buying this for kids.

I went to Michael's the other day to purchase the exact same kit made by Milestone. In the back of the box in small letters was a warning that this kit included Portland Cement, which is known in the State of California to cause cancer. Now, why on earth would they put this in a child's kit?!!! That really upsets me!!!
