Wow, it is almost Halloween! Did you know you can easily spook up your Halloween with Penguin Dry Ice? It is super easy to add some eerie fog, some witches brew, some scary sounds and much more with a little dry ice.
I can not wait til we get our land and build our house. We already have big plans for a yearly haunted forest and dry ice is how we will make it ever so spooky!
Until recently, I had no idea that I could buy dry ice at our local grocery store! I seriously thought it was a specialty sort of thing….nope, I was able to purchase it at Kroger! You can find out where they sell it locally on their where to buy dry ice store locator.
Handling the dry ice wasn’t nearly as hard or scary as I thought it would be. I just followed directions. Use gloves, tongs or a towel. Dry ice can irritate skin if contact is made for more than about 10 seconds.
I used a hammer to break off a chunk, really only a corner and we had fun with it for nearly an hour, maybe more! After I broke it off I used tongs to place it in a pot.
Then we added water…
Then the spookiness began!
Here are some great ideas for using dry ice this Halloween!
Impress Trick-or-Treaters – With a little water and dry ice, anyone can create a foggy backyard. For an extra eerie effect, place large bowls of water at your front door and drop a small amount of dry ice and a few drops of liquid dish soap to make fog-filled bubbles that pour out onto your porch.
Smoky Jack ‘O Lanterns – Take your pumpkin to the next level with a similar dry ice fog effect. Place a small bowl with water and dry ice inside a pumpkin to create fog that spills out of the pumpkin’s carvings.
Set the (Creepy) Mood – Forget the Monster Mash. Let dry ice provide the screeching soundtrack to your party instead. Just add small pieces of dry ice to a metal bowl.
Make a Spooky Brew – Taking your Halloween celebration indoors this year? Convert your kitchen into a mad scientist lab by adding small amounts of dry ice to your a punch bowl and serving drinks out of beakers. Our favorite recipe? Equal parts ginger ale and orange juice with scoops of orange sherbet. Just be sure to remove the dry ice from glasses before drinking.
I received a gift card to cover my purchase cost of Penguin Dry Ice to facilitate this review. No compensation was received and all opinions are my own.
