Make a magic birthday potion the kids can drink (all ages)
Gather all the kids into the kitchen around the wizards mixer (a blender). Explain you need to create a magic potion to ensure the birthday child has a great birthday and you need everyone's help. Starting with the birthday child, have each child choose an item and add it to the wizard mixer. At the end, have the birthday child hit the switch to mix the ingredients then pour out samples for everyone to try.
Preparation: Have various items ready and labelled for the kids to choose to make the potion. It's important to label all items as this is what creates the atmosphere and fun.
Having an adult monitor the amount of each ingredient that's added is important. That way you can make sure only a pinch of this and a drop of that goes in the mix. I don't think anyone wants a whole bottle of food colouring in their smoothy.
If you keep note of the items that go in the 'potion' you can type it up and enclose 'the secret recipe created at the party' in the thank you notes.
Here are a few potion suggestions:
The more creative you are, the more fun you'll all have!
Tips:
Have guests make a magic spell potion that isn't drunk at the end (ages 4 +)
Using old bottles and jars, fill and label them with wizard dust (baking soda), bitter well water (vinegar) ground beetles (cayenne pepper), powdered bones (flour), moth wings (dried mushrooms), bog moss (sea weed), moon crystals (rock salt), bark from a talking tree (dried sage), nettle weed (dried rosemary) and more. You'll be amazed what wizardry wonders you can find in your pantry.
Potion treasure hunt (ages 6 +)
Note: This is to make a potion not intended fro consumption.
Another way to create a potion or to extend the length of the game above is to have a potion treasure hunt. Divide the guests into two teams and give each a recipe to make a specific potion. Each recipe is to include of list of 'hidden' or 'secret ingredients' to make their potion. Each team has to find and mix their potion and the team that complete this first is the winner.
Tips:
Broom Stick obstacle Race (ages 4+)
Have the party guests take turns navigating an obstacle course with a broomstick held between their legs. The first over the finish line wins. It's best to keep the course relatively simple as too complicated is frustrating ie go around a garden chair, over the sandpit, past the pot plant and back.
Tip: for younger players the course can be a straight line race.
Tips:
Egg and spoon race
Tips: Definitely an outdoor game as things can get very messy. If playing with young children, you can substitute eggs with ping pong or other small balls. In this case the ball must not be dropped from the spoon.

This cake was such fun to make. Inside it was a marble cake to match the icing (a wizard's marble work bench). The wizard had his spell book open and was trying to turn the birthday boy - the frog on the cake - back into a human. The wizard also had his crystal ball which was covered in holographic, edible glitter. With his potion bottles, staff and spell books around, I'm sure the wizard was successful and the birthday boy was turned back to human.
