The young witches painted enchanted paper with the sweat from giants to reveal their special name for the evening. Names that appeared on
the golden paper included Maven, Piper , Willow, Volos and many other equally magical names.

Each child received a little booklet to use as a guide for their witch’s training. They did 3 lessons which included; Revealing their witch’s name, making Troll Snot , and making Dragon Bellyworms. The kids were very attentive and everything went off so well.

I think I could have just made dozens of cupcakes and the kids would have been absolutely satisfied. Of course later in the evening after coming off their sugar highs the kids came crawling back for some cheese, crackers and raw veggies.

I labeled a variety of containers containing different items you might find in a witch’s laboratory. Items like unicorn blood, elven breath, and rat brains could be found scattered all over the basement ledges and shelves.

The basement was set up to do our witch lessons. I had the challenge of making the room dark enough at 5pm to be “witchy” while also allowing the kids to see enough to do their experiments. Black poster board in the windows and funky lighting did the trick. I had to pre-measure and label everything so that the 3 experiments we would do at the party would be easy enough for 10-15 kids. We ended up with 11 kids total.
