Their spaces are cluttered and dusty, and you might find something growing in the bottles and cups littering their desks. For past Halloween decorations, I’ve made spooky specimen jars and floating skull crystal balls using dollar store supplies. My son liked the idea that his mad scientist kept a collection of skulls — shruken and life-sized — in his laboratory. In a mixer, start to mix the cream cheese until smooth. Add Fanta and orange zest until well-combined. Then, slowly add powdered sugar until smooth & mixed well.
Black, dark brown, or dark green will give the best swampy appearance. You can buy inexpensive beakers and graduated cylinders at school/science supply websites. Add these to you Halloween apothecary for a super cool display. Halloween Treat Tubes decorated from the inside. Spooky Night Designer Paper and Spooky at stamp set. Just buy clear tube, print off picture, and insert into tube.
Mad Scientist Party Food
Tie it and hang it between two trees or across your porch. Think about when you were a kid and put a blanket over a table to make an instant tent. I am fortunate enough to work at a daycare, so I have access to playground equipment. I took the slide part off of our equipment, covered it with dark material, and made an instant cave for the kids to crawl through and explore.
The message can be revealed by coloring the card with a marker or painting it with watercolor. This type of message may be easier to read than the type produced using invisible ink. I had commented on another post regarding glowing water. Have you ever wanted to play with fire without those pesky burn marks? With this experiment, you can light money or your hand on fire without it burning.
Celebrating Community & Country with Kids
Another fizzy explosion can be created with Mentos and 2-liter bottles of soda. This one causes a massive, messy eruption. If your project is for kids, don’t worry. Give a few contextual clues like fake bats attached to the “roof” of the cave, and their imaginations will run with the idea.
20 plastic petri dishes for $5.95 at Home Science Tools. Good source of beakers and flasks, too. Shipping policies vary, but many of our sellers offer free shipping when you purchase from them. Typically, orders of $35 USD or more qualify for free standard shipping from participating Etsy sellers. So, we only used a couple of fake plastic pumpkins and two galvanized ones.
Vintage Mad Scientist Castle 2001 Creepy Halloween
She loves cooking, reading, crafting, hosting parties and most of all spending time giggling with her family. Mix things up and serve Monster Gut Punch, a delicious concoction the kids will have fun creating. Party drinks can look radioactive or can glow in the dark. Use a black light and make glow-in-the-dark Jell-O.
Let guests decorate their treats to resemble scientists or monsters using green frosting, colored candies, licorice, and sprinkles. Anything made using tonic water will glow under a black light. If you freeze tonic water, the ice cubes will glow bright blue under a black light. Have your party guests make colored celery sticks by soaking cut celery in food-colored water.
Make a few DIY Halloween Chains (check out the blog post how-to here) and hang them all over your mantle. Add spider webs, glass beakers, and test tubes along the mantle to finish off the creepy look. Mariah Leeson is the creative mind behind Giggles Galore.
A round cake could be decorated as a radiation symbol. A sheet cake could be made to resemble a chalkboard. Use orange frosting to make lava running down the sides of the cake. You can use a glass to make a circle shape in the white frosting. Bake a cake in a well-greased 2-qt glass or metal mixing bowl.
Scatter beakers, graduated cylinders, and test tubes with colored water haphazardly along the table. To create smoke coming from your "experiments", just drop in chunks of dry ice before guests arrive. Slime is another gross but appropriate addition to any spooky laboratory. You can make it with cornstarch and water. Take about a cup of cornstarch and half a cup of warm water. Add food coloring for the all-important aesthetic appeal.
You can use dry ice to make root beer, sodas, spooky punches, and mysterious fogging drinks. A very easy way to make an odorous addition to your mad lab is to make sniff bottles. All it takes is a bottle with a potent smelling substance in it. The container can be as simple as an empty water bottle or as ornate as a glass potion bottle. Drop in something that has a strong odor, such as garlic, vinegar, perfume, or spices. For liquids, soak a cotton ball with the substance, then drop the cotton ball into the bottle.
