sneak peek: science collection

the-celebration-shoppe-science-party_storyboard

I’ve mentioned on facebook that we’re creating a new science birthday party collection for my oldest son’s sixth birthday party in a few weeks. Here’s a little peek at the invite, which is already available in the shoppe, and just a few of the printables that will be available soon. From left to right: favor tag, placecard, banner (one of two), beverage wrapper (one of two) and straw slip (one of six). 

I also have some very exciting news to share about this collection, which I’m officially not allowed to talk about yet. But I know how much everyone loves suspense so I thought I would throw it out there. {sneaky giggle}

I’ll share more details as the party gets closer and if you’re interested in the printables before they’re available in the shoppe, just shoot us an e-mail at customercare@celebrationshoppe.com.

As always, I hope you’re inspired!

real parties: science experiment

I mentioned in my “rock star” collection post on Wednesday that my oldest was leaning heavily toward having a science experiment birthday party this year. Jennifer Cronk, a super creative mom, sent me pictures of the party she hosted for her six year old son Conner last fall. Loving this cake!

She greeted all of her guests with goggles and lab coats and set them on a journey of scientific exploration with a multitude of stations set up for all types of cool bubbling and messy experiments!

These are just a few: Rocket Launch, Slime, Bottle of Foam. What a blast, pun intended, these kids must have had. {wink}

Thanks so much Jennifer for sharing. You’ve inspired me! Have a great weekend everyone!

science birthday party

My oldest is obsessed with science. Yep, he’s five and has been certain about his “profession to be” for almost a year now. So you can imagine how excited I was to see such a colorful display in this month’s issue of Parents magazine.

They recycled Dad’s old dress shirts into lab coats and dressed them up a bit with safely goggles, rubber gloves and an ”official” scientist name tag to complete the look.

And I simply love they way they set up a make-your-own sundae station by filling plastic graduated cylinders and petri dishes with candy, cake, and cereal using tongs, measuring cups, and funnels as scoops. My guy would love this!

I can imagine the mess, but how cool to use food coloring to tint one glass of water yellow and another blue, then have kids use a dropper to race to mix up a third cup of green water. Fun!

And what about these favors: jumbo plastic test tubes filled with rock-candy crystals. Yum!
