Our take on the Dan & Darci Soap DIY Making Kit for Kids

A beginner soap-making kit from Dan & Darci aimed at kids aged 6 to 12, with wax-based soap base plus glitter, coloring and fragrance for melting and molding. It is a craft and STEM activity for a single child or a small group, not a science experiment set despite the science labeling. At $16.98 at Walmart as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range across the 7 stores that carry it new.
