We set out bowls of chopped grass and herbs, flower petals and lavender, as well as a few jars of coloured glitter too. They were having so much fun that we popped into the garden and gathered extra supplies to offer to the mix. They ended up adding a lot more than the suggested amount and enjoyed experimenting with how much froth and bubbly mixture they could make! You could use any colour and change the name of the ingredient eg green for Troll Bogies! Wartcap Powder = bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)ĭragon’s blood = washing up liquid (dish soap) I chose a strawberry version to make it red. Add some drops of Veritas Serum and mix well to see what happens! Mix 1 spoon Wartcap Powder with 1 spoon dragon’s blood. I wrote out a recipe instruction sheet for Laughter Potion, which said: When it was time in the party to attend Snape’s Potions Class, the kids came and stood around a large table and took turns to mix concoctions in cauldrons, using their magic wands to make the spells.

I downloaded and printed these free labels from Over the Moon website here which made the bottles look fantastic! These, combined with some small vases and oddly shaped jars I’d been collecting, led to a great array of potion making containers!įor the first part of the party I simply filled each one with brightly coloured water and glitter and set them out on display where they looked quite magical! Into a few I put sparkly paper or shredded iridescent thread too, which looked a lot of fun. I found some amazing glass jars and bottles at my parent’s house which had originally had alcohol and various foods in them.
