Monster Museum
Kendeyl Johansen
Children will be spooked as they feel "witch's instestines," "monster eyeballs," and "werewolf fingernails!"
Ingredients
3 medium-sized opaque mixing bowls
1 medium-sized see-through mixing bowl
Spaghetti, cooked and drained
Cooking oil
Olives
Almonds
Foil
Water
Liquid dishwashing soap
Food coloring
Directions
Pour the spaghetti (witch intestines) into one of the opaque bowls. Add cooking oil to make the noodles feel slippery. Cover the bowl with foil, leaving an opening big enough for guests to stick their hands into but partygoers shouldn't be able to see the bowl's contents.
Place olives (monster eyeballs) into another opaque bowl and almonds (werewolf fingernails) into a third. Cover the bowls with foil as described above.
Squirt dishwashing soap into the clear bowl and add a few drops of food coloring. Fill the bowl with water to make bubbles (foaming acid, a.k.a. hand scrub).
