Disney Frozen Shaker Maker Elsa and Anna is a children’s sculpture kit that is really easy to do and makes minimal mess. With several variants available, the Frozen set is adored by most young girls and Miss M couldn’t wait to try it out.

The kit comes with a unique ‘shaker maker’, 2 moulds, 2 packs of powdered plaster, 2 stands a set of paints and a paintbrush.

First it’s time to create the plaster models in their moulds which I think gives really impressive results for minimal effort, perfect for children. You need to add one of the moulds into one half of the Shaker Maker then you simply pour some warm water into the other half, add the powder, screw the two halves together and give it a shake!

Then simply unscrew the unit, making sure the half with the mould is underneath and then leave for 90 minutes to dry. You can then tap the plaster statuette out of the mould and I have to say I think the results are brilliant. You get a really detailed model that is perfectly smooth, they look really good. It’s then time to bring them to live with some colour using the paints provided. Miss M found the colours of the paints a little frustrating as they were primary colours, but I did help her to mix some to make more recognisable colours for the frozen themed characters. She did also use a couple of other paints she already had. I have to say the paintbrush is fantastic, unlike a lot of kids brushes. This one is really pointed helping to get some detail and fine brush strokes onto the characters.

Miss M worked really hard on her painting and I just love her finished results. The plaster moulds simply sit in the little pink stands and can be displayed wherever you fancy. Miss M has these now on her bedroom windowsill which look lovely.

All reviews are my own and my family’s opinions and we received the product in order to write an honest review.

Shaker Maker Disney Princess Cinderella and Rapunzel from Cool Create is a fun, simple plaster kit for children that allows them to create decorative pieces that they can enjoy on the shelves in their bedroom.

The shaker maker consists of a Shaker Maker pod, 2 princess moulds, 2 packs of plaster, 2 stands and a paint set, everything you need to complete this kit.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with the Shaker Maker and how messy it would be but I have to say I was really impressed – so simple for a child to use and completely mess free!

All you have to do is add some warm tap water into one half of the shaker pod up to a certain line then tip the bag of plaster in. In the lid, insert one of the princess moulds then screw the lid on to the base. Shake well and then tip so that the mould is at the bottom and the plaster mixture sits perfectly in the mould, no mess, no touching it, all the hard work is done for you.

Then gently tap the sides to remove air bubbles and leave to stand for at least an hour to dry out.

My daughter couldn’t wait to start painting them which is a part she really enjoyed. The paint brush that is included is really fine, much better than the usual brushes you get with kids kits, which enabled my daughter to try and add some detail.

I think the finished results look great and this is a great kit for kids to get crafty with, experiencing plaster moulding and painting. This would make a great gift anytime, something they can enjoy doing and something that they can keep after. The moulds are also reusable so if you buy some more plaster you can make some more princesses!
