Alyssa's 6th Birthday

Alyssa wanted a science theme this year after showing her a couple of birthday parties from the The Celebration Shoppe and their blog. I love her blog!! There were so many fun ideas. We got all the experiments from stevespangler.com.



Alyssa's teacher let us borrow all their lab coats for the party! It was a good thing too - you shoulda seen them after the party was all over.


The favorite experiments were definitely the insta worms and insta snow!


We started off with something simple. We mixed the primary colors to make the rest of the rainbow. They were actually impressed. So simple. So cute.


All these lovely ideas were from the celebration shoppe.


These cute labels were printed up from her shop too.


The kids each got a test tube filled with candy to take home in addition to all the experiments they made which included slime (a must have at any science party!), lava lamps, and insta snow.
The big jar was filled with dry ice which they were just fascinated by. They loved putting their little hands through the fog. Then when they discovered blowing in it, wow, it made such a dramatic effect. They couldn't even believe it.


I made the banner using the wonderful Cricut machine.


I loved her invitations! I bought them on etsy.com from ThreeShinyJs.


It was a lot of work, but so worth it. The kids had a ton of fun!
