Hannah’s Magic Potions

StepheCox2020-04-23T10:55:11+10:00

Make your own magic potion that causes your brother’s hair to fall out…. or gives the holder the ability to talk to animals… or summons a storm!

These pretty, glittery potions also make a great sensory tool for helping kids focus as they watch the glitter swirl around the coloured liquid.

What you will need:

Clean glass jars with lids (soaking an empty sauce jar in water + bicarb soda usually helps to remove any labels)
Paper, textas or pencils, tape, and ribbon – to create our own labels
Food dye (or natural alternative such as beetroot juice)
Magic potion ingredients like glitter, small beads, paper confetti, petals, leaves….
A drop or two of detergent
