Miniverse Make It Mini Review

Miniverse Make It Mini sets are miniature kits that contain instructions, pictures and everything needed to make a doll-sized food or drink. They come in palm-sized pink balls and it is like a mystery box as it does not advertise which edition is contained in the ball. 

I recently was encouraged to purchase a few of these Make It Mini kits and had to hunt for them as they are so popular that they are often sold out. I ended up purchasing mine at Target for $6.99 each. There are eighteen different snacks to build and collect. 

I purchased three sets that ended up being pink glazed donuts, cinnamon rolls and a pineapple smoothie. The kits have tweezers, recipes, and ingredients. The snacks all require resin which is included in the package. Resin is a liquid that solidifies into a sort of rubbery plastic. Resin is actually very bad for the environment, so I was wary of buying these kits. Most of the recipes say to wait five to fifteen minutes for the resin to set, but my kits took a couple of days to solidify. 

The food was all very cute and good sized for dolls. The kits are not for children under the age of three, but I think kids should be much, much older to build these. It was slightly difficult for me and while the directions said for young children to have adult supervision, I feel that this would be a difficult craft for kids. 

Overall, this was a very cute activity, but pricey for such a small amount, and it was a fun experience to assemble the kit. However, I would not personally buy them again.
