Thanks to my friends at Oriental Trading, I’m sharing a way to do trick-or-treating and safely celebrate Halloween with a Slime Time Lab! Depending on your state’s regulations, Halloween celebrations and trick-or-treating will look different this year.

However the approach, it’s all about safety. With free shipping on orders over $39 using code SPOOKSQUAD20, check out a few of my ideas and get your shop on!

If your neighborhood has younger kids coming through earlier in the evening, this is a perfect set-up that involves zero physical contact and plenty of separation. As a result, it is a great way to support trick-or-treaters with food allergies and other conditions.

Setting up a slime time lab in front of your home can help keep contact to a minimum and take Halloween to a whole new level this year. Depending on your layout, use pumpkins as 6′ distance markers, so trick-or-treaters can check out your Slime Time Lab, one at a time.

Wear a mad scientist ensemble, complete with goggles, a festive mask, and gloves. Once a treat choice has been made, add it to the child’s treat bag for a fun way to have no-contact.

Start with a great backdrop; the Science Lab VBS Backdrop Banner sets the scene for our mad scientist’s lab of slimy concoctions.

Our set-up is a fun take on the traditional dessert table. The rules are still the same; it’s all about fun containers and varying heights to add visual interest!

Vials of slippery slime, and an assortment of putty and slime tubes, balls and barrels, are guaranteed crowd pleasures.

Don’t forget the creepy-crawlies, like these small bugs. Scatter them around for the extra ick factor.

A few drops of food coloring turns water into eerie concoctions, especially in glass vessels.

Sticky brains or eyeballs, anyone?

In short, it is all about celebrating Halloween safely. Inspired for an ooey, gooey time? Check out our mad scientist’s party and get more inspiration for your slime time lab.
