Dot ended up using the water bowl instead of her pot as her cauldron, and her favourite thing was the glitter vial – it all ended up in her pot.
Miss Dot had so much fun adding all the different elements. She enjoyed stirring her potion as well, having much delight fishing out each element to discover they were now coated in glitter. She thought it was magic. ❤
