Materials:
- Mason jar – We used 16 ounce jars but any size will do.
- Baby oil
- Water
- White acrylic paint
- Small bowl for combining water and paint
- Spoon for mixing
- Alka seltzer
- Glitter
Directions:
- Fill your mason jar about 3/4 full with baby oil. We used a 16 ounce jar so we filled it with about 1 1/2 cups of baby oil.
- In a small bowl mix about 1 teaspoon of acrylic paint with about 1/2 cup of water. These measurements do not need to be exact. You want to create “white water” that will fill the rest of your mason jar.
- Add the “white water” mixture to the baby oil in the mason jar. Allow the mixture to settle to the bottom of the jar.
- Add glitter to the mason jar. You can add as much or as little as you would like. We added about 1 teaspoon of glitter. Allow the glitter to settle to the bottom of the jar.
- Break the Alka Seltzer tablet in half and drop it into the mason jar. Watch the snowstorm take place!
Note: Do NOT tighten the lid on the jar! Pressure will build up and it could be dangerous. Leave the lid off completely during the “snowstorm” or gently set on top.
