Hi, Angelia! This was touched on in the post! Here is the info:

“Lighter colors will be less likely to stain.
And the most chance for causing staining of the counter and hands is when initially mixing in the gel food dye.
We find that pastel colors will come off on kids hands at first, but after they play a time or two and it has been stored in an airtight container, the staining is minimal.
Bright, bold and intense colors will have more likelihood of staining even after several uses.”

You can always have them wear disposable gloves, just in case!

I’m sorry to hear that, Nicola! May I ask how you stored it? I’m just trying to troubleshoot to see if I can help!

It got crusty and dry before the kids were finished a single play session. I do not recommend

It’s also a math lesson (measuring), a STEM lesson, AND an art project, while working on fine motor skills!
