Let’s be honest — potion play™ can get gloriously messy. Glitter in your hair, dried flower petals in your shoe, a trail of sparkles leading to your laundry. But it’s also one of the most beautiful forms of open-ended play, where mindfulness meets imagination and nature becomes the main character.

While our potion kits are ready to bubble, fizz, and enchant straight out of the box, sometimes all it takes is the right vessel to spark a whole new adventure.

Here are three of our favourite wooden accessories that not only organise the magic, but extend the potion play™ possibilities — especially for little ones who love to forage, collect, and mix their own special ingredients from the garden, beach, or even the backseat of the car (yes, we see those pocket treasures!).

🌿 1. The Small Tamarind Sorting Tray

This beauty is a game-changer for potion prep. With 3 distinct compartments, it’s perfect for setting out potion kit ingredients OR adding your child’s own magical discoveries — think flower petals, bark chips, feathers, and those mysterious “special rocks” they always seem to find.

Not only does it look stunning, but it also gives kids a sense of order in the chaos of creative play. They can lay out their ingredients like a little apothecary, then carefully select and mix as they go — encouraging mindfulness and intentionality with every scoop.

✨ Why we love it: Helps kids slow down and savour the potion process, like mini potion chefs.

🌸 2. The Petal Bowl

Made from hand-carved teak wood, this sweet flower-shaped bowl makes potion play feel a little extra special. Its 5 petal-shaped compartments are perfect for colour-sorting ingredients, or separating textures like coarse salts, fine powders, dried florals, or sprinkles of biodegradable glitter.

It’s also a favourite for sensory sorting and mindful play outside of potion time — we’ve seen kids use it to serve magical fairy meals, organise seashells, or even as a nature mandala tray.

✨ Why we love it: It turns any setup into a nature-inspired spell station. Plus, it looks ridiculously cute on display.

🌀 3. The Triple Bowl

Three’s never a crowd in the world of potion play — especially when you’ve got a gorgeous teak triple bowl to work with. This is the Goldilocks of potion accessories: not too big, not too small, and perfect for kids who love experimenting with ingredient combinations.

Use it to split your fizz powders, sort dried botanicals, or even test different colour mixes. It’s also brilliant for sibling play or collaborative potion-making with friends — everyone gets a space to contribute and stir.

✨ Why we love it: It encourages turn-taking, mixing experiments, and endless magical “what ifs.”

✨ Why Accessories Matter

Potion play™ is already a mindful and imaginative activity — but the right tools can amplify the experience. Our wooden trays and bowls are all handmade from natural teak or tamarind wood, making them not only beautiful, but deeply connected to the nature-based play our potions are inspired by.

By offering compartments, your child can:

• Sort and name ingredients (hello early science!)

• Feel ownership over their creative setup

• Mix kit ingredients with their own found treasures

• Get even more longevity from their potion kits

So whether your child is calling the fairies, making bravery potions before school, or simply mixing a sparkly mess with intention — these wooden accessories will help them feel like a real potion maker.
