Science Birthday Party Ideas!

Kids love to conduct experiments- mix things together, see how they turn out, maybe make something cool like slime or even chewing gum! So a Science Birthday Party is sure to be a hit! We planned this kids birthday party when my son Spencer turned 5 years old and used a local franchise company called Mad Science to supply the scientist, the experiment supplies, and best of all, the dry ice!

Science Birthday Party Activities:

The nice thing about hiring entertainment for your child's birthday party is that they bring along everything that you need for all of the activities! Our scientist brought all kinds of cool experiments for the kids to do!

The kids conducted experiments:

The Science Party Birthday Cake!

Nothing says “Science Party” like a volcano cake, right? And our kind scientist allowed us to borrow a bit of that dry ice to use so that our volcano appeared to be smoking!

The goodie bags for this party were some cool science projects – such as a connector to make a cyclone out of 2 2-liter bottles, This is an affiliate link: MomOf6 earns a commission if you purchase, at no additional cost to you. and these cool 3-D puzzle balls This is an affiliate link: MomOf6 earns a commission if you purchase, at no additional cost to you. .
