Entertaining: Party Planner Age 13 = Chaotic, Messy, Science Fun

This summer I paid my 13 year old boy $20 to plan, carry-out and clean-up the annual Science party.  It was a bit of a leap of faith for me as a control-oriented mom, but it was a smashing success (and the grass spots have since recovered).  So if his future wife isn't a natural-born party planner, he can throw fun parties for my grandchildren.  *wink*

He made himself a list of what activities, how long they would take and in what order they should happen.

His accumulated supplies the day before the party.

Day of the party he made the treats: dirt cups and homemade root beer were on his menu. 

Who doesn't like a little fun with dry ice?

Helping the kids with the first experiment.

Making slime.

Homemade bubble concoction.
