DIY Lava Lamp

Still feeling kind of yucky so I've been surfin' the interwebs to find something to post for all my lovelies!! I found a GREAT DIY lava lamp that's easy to make. I'm very seriously considering doing this for my son's second birthday party this summer. I'll be searching for some spring time crafts for tomorrow!!

1. Fill your bottle about two thirds of the way with oil and the rest of the way with water, leaving about an inch free at the top. NOTE: We liked watching the water layer sink to the bottom, but we had to wait a while for the bubbles to disappear for the next step. Adding the water first, then the food coloring, and finally the oil wasn’t quite as fun, but it was a bit faster.
2. Add several drops of food coloring. (If you did the oil first, then the water, it’ll take a little while for the drops of food coloring to “break through” and tint the water.)
3. Break an Alka-Seltzer tablet into three or four pieces. Then drop a piece in and watch the magic.
4. As soon as the tablet hits the layer of water, it will start to fizz and the colored water will erupt!
5. The bubbles will stop as soon as the tablet dissipates, but they’ll will start up again as soon as you add another tablet. If the oil layer starts to become cloudy with tiny bubbles, just let it settle for a while. Then you can do some more.
