Bubbling Cauldron Spells - Halloween Writing & Art Resource

Transform your classroom into a magical workshop this Halloween with our enchanting Bubbling Cauldron Spells activity! This spellbinding resource combines creative writing and mastery of imperative verbs with amazing bubble art to create a truly memorable cross-curricular experience.

What’s Included:
Children write their own imaginative spell recipes before bringing them to life with bubble art magic. Using paint mixed with washing-up liquid, pupils make bubbles on paper to create stunning cauldron effects. Each child’s spell and artwork becomes a page in your class spell book, creating a treasured keepsake that celebrates everyone’s creativity.

The Halloween Magic: Spooky ingredients (dragon scales, bat wings, moonlight), atmospheric vocabulary, and the thrilling unpredictability of bubble art combine to create an activity children will talk about long after Halloween!
