Isabelle got invited to a science themed birthday party. It was pretty cool. Definitely expensive with all the supplies they used and a lot of mess/work, but really cool. I might adapt it a bit for a boys party someday. Since parents don't seem to leave little kids at parties these days (or at least down here) these parents put us to work and it was nice to not just have to sit and make small talk with people I won't ever see again.
They had safety goggles and a "lab coat" (a white t-shirt cut to make a coat)
Making Slime
Making Snow with her "lab partner"
It was a really fun afternoon. Isabelle had a blast. She got to bring home her snow and slime and the party favors were two more science experiments to do at home with the supplies. We loved playing with the slime and snow for the next few days, but still haven't done the other experiments yet.
For my reference....they started out making a rocket and then the dad took the girls to the living room where he set up ground rules (1. wait 2. listen and 3. don't taste anything) and explained some of the science they were going to do while the moms set up the first experiment. They did food coloring in milk with q-tips and dawn. Then the kids went with the dad again while we switched projects to foam fountain in a soda bottle and slime. We went outside and did Mentos in Diet Coke and made snow with insta-snow while the dad finished the rockets. Then we went to launch the rockets in a nearby field.
