Delicious wizard wand making, where each child can create their own custom wand.
Let the kids have fun making their own magic wands with edible ingredients! Set up a table with all the necessary supplies, including long pretzel sticks. Dip the sticks halfway into melted chocolate, then roll them in a variety of toppings such as crushed peppermint, sprinkles, candy, or coconut. Encourage the children to give creative names to their pretzel creations and enjoy eating the finished product.
Host a thrilling card tower stacking competition!
Divide the guests into teams of two and challenge them to build the most impressive card tower they can. Encourage creativity and award prizes for the tallest tower, the longest, or the most unique design. To make it even more fun, children can use tape or blue tack to help keep their tower standing. Get ready to see some amazing card structures!
Embark on an exciting treasure hunt with your little ones with the goal of finding the magician's magic orbs.
This activity is perfect for a fun-filled playtime before or after a magic show. Simply gather a handful of vibrant pom poms from your local craft store and tell a story about how the magician needs their special magic orbs to cast spells and perform magic. Hide the pom poms throughout the play area. Then have the kids to work as the magician's assistants and collect the orbs by searching throughout the play area. The child who finds the most orbs wins! For added excitement, assign different colours to each player and challenge them to find one of each, or give them a specific colour to find.
The different colours could have different magic powers!
