Rock painting: I wonder and other products

When I go craft shopping, I always wonder if items are good or not.  If it is worth to use a particuliar product or not?  I am at the point of wondering if rock painting kits are worth to try and test (https://www.amazon.ca/Creativity-Kids-Hide-Seek-Painting/dp/B071FK9TFC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1545015716&sr=8-1&keywords=rock+painting+kit)  I think I am now ready to try it.  I guess the kit is not that essential except to have an idea on how it is done, an introductory package.  A good kickstart is always good: it lead to getting more confidence and experience under the belt.

I also often wonder if crafting products are really worth it or not.  There are times where I imagine opening a crafting labs where various crafting kits would be tested and evaluated.  I wonder if it would be a fun process to do, on the long run.  Recently, I was able to see an activity were some products were tried by some children.  There was some more popular than others.  I was able to see the crayola crayon melter (https://www.amazon.ca/Crayola-Crayon-Melter-Melting-Gift/dp/B07B7W5S5F/ref=sr_1_6?s=toys&ie=UTF8&qid=1545016968&sr=8-6&keywords=crayola+crayon+melter)  I do not know if it was due to the heavy use but I was not impressed with the result.  It had been heavily used, so I may be biased.  I am not ready to buy a kit and test it further.  If there is another occasion to test it further, to see if my perception is justified, I will do it for sure.

Experimenting and testing can be fun.  Hitting the less good products is less fun.  If often lead to the impression of waisting money.  I would like to see a place where there is unbiased evaluation of some products.  If it does not exist, I wonder if I would be good at it?
