Coloured jelly definitely has a scientific feel to it! Get creative with your colours - kids will adore blue and green jellies. Serve your jelly in petri dishes to thrill your guests.
An eyeball cake is surprisingly easy to make (and super tasty, too!). Simply create a round cake, and decorate to look like an eyeball. Once you cut into it, red jam will really set the scene!
Test tube shots can be made up of anything you like - whether that's fresh fruit juices, pop, or even sweets. Get creative! You could also serve your drinks in flasks and beakers.

You can get creative with the colours, and let everyone create a lava lamp in their favourite shade.
Taste Test
This is one of our favourites! Blindfold the children and have them taste a series of food items, and guess what it is.
This challenge will definitely make everyone laugh!
Toy Car
Challenge the little ones to powering a toy car with a balloon. Whoever can make it go the furthest distance can win a prize, such as some sweets or a science experiment kit.
If you're particularly creative, you could attempt to recreate molecular structures with your balloons!
Featured Product: Birthday Banner
Instead of a traditional birthday banner. create your wording out of elements from the periodic table. This is perfect for older kids.
Then finally add some bi0-hazard tape to the doorways to add to the look!

A sweet cone filled with millions will remind the children of atoms, and is delicious.
Why not send the kids home with a science experiment for them to do at home? We love a 'Grow your own crystals' set, which you can buy for around £10.
A helium balloon will also complete your favours, and leave the children wondering how exactly do they fly?
