Make a really cool carnivorous plant greenhouse. Make a whole bunch of carnivorous plant terrariums in fish bowls or other inexpensive containers.

Place them all in one room, with a big warning sign.

Paper crafts idea: spend time drawing and describing each plant on a piece of paper. Use real facts, plus add some made up ideas like funny nicknames for the plants. Place near the plants.

Invite your friends to your wizardly and spooking greenhouse.

Or, you can have your friends make one too, at your wizard-themed birthday party. Then you can all have fun feeding the hungry plants.

2. Make Invisible Ink: Kid Craft Idea for the Harry Potter Inspired Party

Mix up some of the wizard's favorite writing liquid: invisible ink! The easiest way to make invisible ink is to use have a parent help you cook up 1/4 cup of H20 (that's water to those of you who haven't taken wizard chemistry yet) with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch.

Have parents help you cook the water and cornstarch for about three minutes.

When it is cooled down, use something to write with - like a sharpened stick, a toothpick, a straw, or a pen that has run out of ink. Dip the writing utensil in the invisible ink mixture. Write secret wizard messages.

Give the message to someone or you can use the invisible ink to make a paper craft like a map, or to write spells in a Harry Potter inspired Spell book. Directions are here for making the Harry Potter Spell Book.
