Glitter "Explosions" with the Beginners

How To Make Glitter Explosions at Home

Supplies:
vase
baking soda
vinegar
food coloring
glitter
pan to contain the mess

Directions:

Place 2-3 Tablespoons baking soda in the bottom of the vase.
Put the vase in the pan.
Add 6-7 drops of food coloring and 1-2 teaspoons of glitter.
Quickly pour in about 1/2 cup vinegar. Watch for the sparkles!

Explanation:
Baking soda and vinegar react to make the explosion. As the children get older, they can understand that baking soda is a base and vinegar is an acid and mixing acids and bases makes a reaction.
