Birthday Party FAQs

  • What theme should I choose?

Choose the theme you think your child will enjoy the most! All of them include both a science demonstration and a hands-on activity.

  • What if my child wants a theme for a different age group?

That is OK! The ages next to each theme are recommendations. Themes recommended for younger children are simpler while the ones recommended for older children are more complex.

Please note that if you choose a theme that is not in age recommendation for your child it may take more or less time than the usual 20-25min.
