Product Overview
Rock Dough: Glowing Garden lets kids mold their own rocks from an air-dry compound that hardens to look and feel like real stone. The kit includes enough Rock Dough to shape 10 creations, plus water-based acrylic paints (some glow in the dark), markers, and transfer decals for decorating. No baking required. Once dry, the molded pieces are ready to paint and customize into garden decorations, hiding spots for rock hunts, or keepsakes.

- Mold 10 shapes, then decorate with glow-in-the-dark paint, markers, and decals
- Water-based acrylic paints make cleanup easier
