Activities Tuesday: Double Bubble, Toil and Trouble!



Don't get too excited!  I've really just had a long day and needed to throw something together for today's post.  Forgive me ;)

Your elementary school school science project, the lovely erupting volcano, can easily be converted into a great Halloween Trick!  Whether it be a bubbling cauldron, a mad scientist's lab, or a Harry Potter potions class...

All you need is two ingredients: vinegar and baking soda.  I find it's also good to grab some other kitchen ingredients to make your potion more involved.  (Pepper for ground flies, Cayenne for powdered dragon's blood, and so on.  Get creative!)  Don't forget to add the food coloring for that extra visual!

The set up is entirely up to you and your occasion.  You can either have the children mix the concoction, while you add the final "magic" ingredient, or simply mix together the basics to have an oozing brew ready to go.
