A Halloween Laboratory ~ Fun with Kids! Or just for Fun!

Thanks to thefrugalmom  for this super fun article and idea!!!

I love Fall.  (Have I mentioned that before?)  I love the sights, the smells, the gatherings and the decorations! 

Halloween is right around the corner.  (25 days away.)  We love decorating for Halloween, and getting into the spirit for my children.  We decorate in a fun, yet, not spooky kind of way.

While cleaning out my refrigerator during one of the last weeks of September, I began to toss the almost empty jars into the trash.  When I got to jar #3 of "why-did-we-keep-that-in-the-first-place" items, I thought about something to make with the jars:  a laboratory.

I quickly pulled the two previous jars from the trash, and searched for a few more in the refrigerator.  I emptied the remains of the jars into the trash, and soaked the jars in warm soapy water for about ten minutes.  After a quick wash, the product labels came off easily, and I was left with the beginning of the Halloween lab.  (Insert evil laugh.)

I rummaged through the gazillion toys in this house, and found a spider, a net, a snake, a bat and a brain eraser.  Perfect.

I added an item to each jar, to see which item would look good where.  (Keep in mind the item does not have to float or fit perfectly.  The snake looks great coiled up.  The perception of the spider would be totally different in a larger jar.)

I then took out each item, added water and a drop of food coloring to the jar, and put the item back in.  The jars are not sealed, because I'll make a new one next year.  (And there is no telling what you will find inside the jars, should you keep it another 365+ days.  I guess there is a way to stop the fungus from growing?  Bleach?  Vinegar?)  I did take black paint to put on top of the jar lids.  So you didn't see wording.  Some lids I wrapped with navy blue raffia, then swipped black paint on top of that.  Just for a little difference among them all.

I didn't put labels on the jars, because I wanted my children to name the contents.   

Pictured from right to left, they came up with brains, blood, guts, a snake, intestines, a spider and a bat.

In all, the "Laboratory" cost nothing but excitement.  My children love it. 

For snack that day, we drank "Bat's Blood" and ate "spider legs"....but that's another story. 

If you make a laboratory - send me pictures!  I'd love to see!

Build-A-Bear Workshop: Select Furry Friends BOGO FREE

My family is a HUGE fan of Build-A-Bear Workshop! While they can be a bit pricey, they have several special promotions throughout the year that make their toys pretty affordable. One example is their current Columbus Day sale that is going on all weekend. Select “furry friends” are buy one, get one free. They are available both in-store and online. Keep in mind that selection will vary from store to store.

• To purchase this offer online, use coupon code: 96698 on their website HERE.

• Not sure where your local store is? Find a location HERE.

*HOT TIP: Kids LOVE the experience of going into Build-A-Bear and stuffing the animal, as well as picking out their own outfit.  So when deals come along like this one, we go to the store, pick out the animals, then pay for them without stuffing them.  As long as you save the receipt, you can go back to the store at a later date and your child can have the fun of actually “building the bear” themselves.  The end result is that you get the awesome deal, and they get a really cool Christmas or birthday experience!  (Make sure to call your local store and ask about this option before you go in.)
