Coffee Chat & DIY Lava Lamps

Happy Saturday! Join me for a coffee chat on the blog and a look at the week in review including Lily’s DIY lava lamp.

Lily made a lava lamp at school, and she was so excited to show me how it worked.

Here is how you make a DIY lava lamp.

1. Fill the a container 1/3 of the way with water.
2. Fill it the container almost the rest of the way with vegetable oil.
3. Add a few drops of food coloring.
4. Break an alka-seltzer tablet into a few small pieces and drop them into the container.
