Last year we hosted our first-ever Kids Halloween Party for the boys and a few of their friends. I’m not at all a scary or creepy Halloween person so we definitely went the cute and fun route. Our main plan was to set up the Projector Movie Screen in the garage for Halloween movies and make a Concession Stand for the kids. Here is how it all went.
Potions & Poisons Bar
Using a bunch of Italian Soda drink syrups I built a Potions & Poisons bar for the kids to work their magic on all night. This was the main attraction for the Concession Stand vibes. The hardest part was crafting drinks that would taste good and make a cool-sounding Potion name. But don’t worry, I did all the work for you and you can now just print it out! 😉
Poisons
All of the individual syrups are the “Poisons” and by mixing them together you make a “Potion” to drink. Here is my list of Poison Names with Flavors:
- Eye of Newt- Vanilla
- Key Lime Pie- Zombie Slime
- Poison Apple- Green Apple
- Toxic Tonic- Salted Carmel
- Liquid Love- Rose
- Midnight Essence- Lavender
- Dark Nightmare- Blackberry
- Pumpkin Juice- Pumpkin
- Dragon Tears- Peach
- Beetle Blood- Watermelon
You can shop all of these syrups and pumps on my Amazon List for this party: Italian Soda Bar Amazon List. The key is making sure you have the correct size pump for your bottles.
Potions

Kids Halloween Party Display
Of course, I cannot host a party without a Balloon Garland! Believe it or not, black balloons were hard to find come October and by the time we decided to host this party. Luckily I had leftover Star Wars Balloons from Wyatt’s 5th Birthday Party! You can catch all of that fun HERE: How to Throw a Star Wars Birthday Party
Also, scope my super easy tutorial for How to Make a Balloon Garland | DIY Tutorial.
The rest of the display is made with a few of my classic pieces. A 6′ Folding Table, Black Spandex Fitted Linen, and I used a Black Sequin Overlay 50″x 72″ for my backdrop.
The Purple Glitter Banner is from my own Etsy Shop, The Vintage Event. I made it in purple glitter, FONT: BIGNORD, on the black string. You can snag your own here through this listing: CUSTOM 10.5″ Letter Banner
As mentioned before, I did all the work for you. I have made the whole party menu into a Digital Download for you to snag on Etsy. You get the Poisons Syrup Labels, this Potion Menu, and the First & Last Halloween Name Game. Head this way for your download: Kids Halloween Party Theme Printables- Potions & Poisons Bar
But wait, there’s more! In this same download you’re going to get my Game Directions for the Creature Creation Station Cupcake Game we did as well. AND, the Dragon Egg Hunt Game Directions. I’ve put all the downloads for this whole party into one listing.
Check out the Creature Creation Cupcake Station we did!
With Potions and Cupcake Creatures our Trick-or-Treaters were ready for the Halloween Movie. This is in the garage so that all of us adults could hide the “Dragon Eggs” for the final hunt. We absolutely LOVE our Theatre Set up. Here are all of my resources for the Projector Screen Movie Theatre Resource List | Amazon.
Happy Haunting!
