Mad Scientist Party Decoration
As the kids arrive at the party, you could present them with a white lab coat and goggles. This will allow them to instantly feel like they are arriving at a Mad Scientist lab. They can also come in very useful if you intend on undertaking some experiments during the party. Not only will the kids love it, but you have also created some party decor just by having the kids there.
When setting up your party decoration, one of the first things to organize is your party backdrop. The backdrop helps to set the scene and it is easy to add other finer details. Think about the colors you want to use for your party and choose 3 colors for your backdrop.
Popular colors for a Mad Scientist party would be orange, white, blue and green.
Place some chalkboards around the area with science symbols on them. Have some available that the kids can play on too so they feel like they are creating their own formula’s.
An easy decoration idea would be to have several jars scattered around with colored water in. In those jars place various objects such as eye balls, or little animals. Anything that you think might be found in a crazy professors lab. Similarly, some test tubes with small insects would have the same appeal.

Mad Scientist Party Activities
Nothing says Mad Scientist more than the science experiments. Kids will expect to complete an experiment or two, so if this is not your thing then you might want to consider an alternative party theme.
There are options to hire people to undertake the experiments for you, but if you are prepared to do it yourself, it can be a whole lot of fun too.
Check out these awesome science experiments that the kids can undertake at the party. Pick out a few that you think that the kids would enjoy the most and ones that you think you would be able to control.
Kids wont be leaving this kind of party saying that science is boring. Not only will the kids have a ton of fun, but it could also renew a spark for their interest in science.
Hopefully these Mad Scientist party ideas have inspired you to think of how you can hold your own explosive party. If you are looking for a hands on, full of fun party, then this theme is definitely not going to disappoint.
