If you are intending for the ‘Party in a Box’ to double up as party bags, we recommend buying additional individual sets of kits for the extra number of children attending so that there is enough equipment for each child to take home.

However, as 6 sets of equipment are provided in each box, the children could work in pairs during the party. The children can work in teams creating some fun competition and added excitement at the party. If you want the children to work in pairs during the party, we strongly recommend purchasing additional pairs of goggles and the refill kit if ordering the Chem-mystery theme. This will provide enough consumable ingredients for all the children to complete all the experiments. Unfortunately, it does mean that there wouldn’t be enough equipment to pack up into 12 party bags, but each of the 12 children would still get to take home slime AND sherbet, AND then you could pass on the ‘Science Party in a Box’ to a friend to reuse at the end of the party.

MOST of the equipment you will need is included in the party box. However, you may need a few other common household items, such as scissors, sticky tape, jug of warm water… a short checklist of what else you might need is provide in the box.

But don’t forget you’ll also need a laptop, tablet or other suitable screen to watch the exclusive online videos during the party.

It’s perfect for children aged 6-11! The Amazing Air theme easy easily accessible for younger children and the Chem-mystery’ is designed for 8 years and over as it involves a certain amount of dexterity.

The ‘Amazing Air’ party is both visually stimulating and physically active which engages the younger age groups well. Children can easily understand the science behind the Air themed experiments and relate their discoveries to their everyday lives. This is a fun filled, energetic party where all children get to levitate balls, race balloon powered cars, design paper-copters, make air cannons, complete a mega balloon challenge, launch rocket balloons, use air pressure to with stacks of opportunities to keep them entertained.

The ‘Chem-mystery’ party explores the four signs of a chemical reaction. Witness colour changes, the production of gas, temperature increases and make something new. Each sign is quickly demonstrated and swiftly moves on to chemical experiments that the children can do for themselves. Children get to make erupting volcanoes, then exploding ones, plus self-inflating balloons and vitamin C rockets, then tongue-tingling sherbet and gooey slime! We usually recommend this party for 8 years and over as it involves measuring accurate quantities of chemicals and a certain amount of dexterity that can be challenging for younger participants.

Yes, absolutely! The ‘Science Party In A Box’ is all about the children getting hands-on and enjoying doing science! The exclusive online videos with your party entertainer, Nitro-Jen, provides interactive demonstrations and easy to follow instructions for the children to follow along with at home. Her engaging style of delivery provides an age-appropriate level of knowledge to understand how each experiment works. And the experiments she demonstrates are sure to ignite a spark of passion and inject excitement into the party!

Not a lot! Just order the box! Our goal is to make things as easy as possible for you. Virtually everything is included for your convenience, including access to three short pre-party videos to give you top tips on how to make the party a roaring success! Nitro-Jen explains everything on the videos and you just need to supervise and help the children where needed. Then kick back and have fun!

All the experiments have been developed and used by us in party packages for over 10 years now, so we have the experience and knowledge to perform them easily, safely and with lots of fun. The ‘Science Party in a Box’ is the culmination of years of working with children during holiday camps and parties and has been designed with their favourite activities in mind. We know how to make the science easy to understand and fun for all –  That’s why we call ourselves edu-tainers!

Of course – they take away their very own pot of slime (and if you choose the chem-mystery theme ‘Science Party in a Box’, a pot of sherbet too). If you choose to, you can double up the ‘Science Party in a Box’ and distribute the contents

We’ve just about perfected the art of making science fun without making too much mess! There will be a little bit of mess as the children have fun experimenting but a table cloth has been included. The videos will advise you of the experiments we recommend completing outside, but ‘Science Party in a Box’ has been designed so that the messiest part of your science party is actually the children eating!
