Absolutely! ....... just look at the pictures and videos on the party page and you will see the astonishment, enjoyment and laughter on their faces.
As a passionate teacher, I've personally designed our science parties to be both educationally enriching and thrilling for kids of all ages. Here's how we make our parties unforgettable:
1. Bring Big, amazing, and one-of-a-kind experiences. The children at my science parties LOVE the giant bubble device (the
parents also sneak inside it as well when the kids are not looking). This and other unique pieces of equipment eave both kids and
parents in awe.
2. Parties are all about hands-on fun! When you do research and see what other party providers do, they bring a few things and
have 3 or 4 main activity stages. My extensive experience of teaching for 27 years, having my own kids and of course doing this for
over 10 years has proved that kids instead LOVE and get the most out of 6 to 7 exciting stages. We all know kids' attention spans are
shorter these days, so I keep them moving, exploring, and fully engaged throughout the 60 min. If parents want a longer party, then I
bring MORE activities.
3. Complete involvement. Parents love to be part of the fun and capture those special moments. That's why I create an atmosphere
of joy, discovery, and laughter using incredible experiences, humour, and my teaching expertise to ensure everyone has a blast.
Join us for a science party that's not just fun but also educational and engaging for kids of all ages!
Is there a cap on numbers? How many is too many? Can you manage larger
groups? Why do others only go to 20 children max?
The number of children you invite to your science party can significantly impact various aspects of the event, including:
- The quantity of activities you can include within a 60-minute timeframe.
- Availability of hands-on materials for all participants.
- Effective group management.
- Proper allocation of space within the venue.
- Adequate seating arrangements for dining.
- Ensuring a sufficient supply of consumables for party activities.
While many tend to limit their party size to approximately 20 children, I, as an experienced teacher, possess the skills to effortlessly handle larger groups of 30 children or more. With my background in education, I excel in managing children, maintaining their focus during explanations, and smoothly transitioning between activities. This proficiency allows me to incorporate a greater number of engaging activities within a 60-minute timeframe, ensuring a memorable and action-packed party experience for all attendees.
​
In fact, listen to the parent audio feedback on the main party page to hear for yourself!
​
I can do party sizes up to 40 children by myself with a second Crazy Scientist only needed for BIG parties over 40 children. No one else do parties this size, so use my experience to your advantage.
​
Rest assured that your child's science party will be a smooth and engaging experience, no matter the group size.

Rainy Day Plan: What Happens If It Rains at Your Science Party?
Science parties can be incredibly engaging and educational experiences for children without being messy if they are carefully designed and controlled.
By planning structured activities the chemicals used are not messy and can be done inside with ease. If slime is made, it is a version that has high viscosity and will not drop all over the place like common slimes made such as Oobleck cornflour slime.
My parties use easy-to-clean materials, providing clear instructions, and setting boundaries for where certain activities can take place can help maintain a tidy environment during the party. With proper supervision and thoughtful planning, science parties can be both fun and organised, allowing kids to explore and learn in a clean and controlled setting.
​
All chemicals used are non-toxic and easily cleaned with a soapy cloth.

Gone are the days were science was thought of as being only for boys. Science parties are inclusive and welcoming for all children, regardless of gender. If you have a working brain, then they are for you!
Science parties provide a fantastic opportunity for kids to explore the wonders of science in a fun and interactive way without any restrictions. By offering a diverse range of activities that cater to various interests and learning styles, science parties ensure that every child can participate and engage with the experiments and demonstrations on offer. Encouraging curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity, these parties foster a love for science that knows no gender boundaries, empowering all children to discover the joy of scientific exploration and discovery in a supportive and inclusive environment.

Who are science parties for?
What take-home experiments do the children get?
I have designed the parties to not only be the BEST hands-on learning experiences around but also to encourage the children to explore when they get home. Science is EVERYWHERE and should not be only done when you have specialised equipment.
​
All kids take home a zip-lock bag containing their test tubes and instant snow. The experiment sheet they take home also explains a cool challenging experiment they can do with their test tube.
​
I recommend that the children continue to explore science in a hands-on manner based on inquiry learning and always ask WHY things happen. This is why I am making more videos, worksheets, teacher support documents in the Crazy Kids LAB subscription series.
​
For $2 a week you can get high quality videos, worksheets and more.
