Potions Class

Potions class was a huge hit. Nobody wanted to stop and move onto the next class.

I bought these bottles from AC Moore and created some labels for them:



We filled these with vinegar dyed different colors. Here was the setup before the class started. The mason jars have stuff from Target's Halloween section: plastic skulls and hands, rubber rats and bats. I wasn't intending for the kids to add those to their potions, but they did.



Some of the ingredients are dry barley for beetle eyes, golden raisins for shrivel figs, gummy worms for flobberworms, lemonade mix for crystallized dragon tears, Pop Rocks for powdered root of asphodel, lemon peel for boomslang skin, dried cherries for hinkypunk hearts. Then there was the necessary baking soda, labeled 'powdered unicorn horn.' The kids loved watching their potions fizz when we added the powdered unicorn horn at the end.

I bought plastic cauldrons for the kids to use.. they're small, but I think it was better that way.
