How to Make A Kid-Approved Lava Lamp In 3 Groovy Steps

August 31, 2020 by Jessica Moore Leave a Comment

Science is one of my favorite activities to teach.  This surprises me because as a child, science and I did not play nicely.  I always felt one step behind or, sadly, just bored.  For as much as there are some who don’t like the Common Core as it is applied in public education, I personally find much value in these curriculum standards as a teacher.  I feel that they set a precedence in classrooms that helps bring learning away from worksheets and into hands-on learning.  One of my favorite science experiments to conduct with my students (and theirs as well!!) is to make lava lamps.  They are really simple to make and are a great way to get kids excited about science!  Here’s how to make a lava lamp in 3 groovy steps.

How To Make A Lava Lamp

Gather Materials

Before you get started, you’ll need to gather some (simple) materials:

  • Cooking Oil (Canola or Vegetable work just the same)
  • Food Coloring (liquid, not gel)
  • An Empty Water Bottle or Glass Jar (the more unusual the shape, the better!)
  • Water (of the liquid sort)
  • Fizzing Antacid Tablets such as Alka-Seltzer (as many as you’d like to keep you entertained)

Learning Topics

I don’t like teaching something in my classroom just to pass time or because it “looks fun”.  We always have a learning objective.  Here are some ideas of topics you can teach your children with your lava lamp experiment:

  • Use senses to make and record observations and interpretations of data.
  • Identify properties of solids, liquids, and gases.
  • Investigate and record changes to the properties of matter.
  • Investigate and record the interactions between liquids, solids, and gases.
  • Practice measuring and calculating math with metric units (HUGE concept for 3rd graders!).
  • Conduct “next steps” experiments.  In other words, what else could you do to this experiment to possibly change the outcome?  Have children record their hypotheses and outcomes/data.  (Suggested Next Step:  Use a glow stick instead of food coloring.  Crack the glow stick, cut off the top, and empty the gel into the water bottle).

Step 1

Fill your empty bottle or jar about 1/2-2/3 of the way with the cooking oil and the rest of the way with water.  BE SURE to leave about an inch of air at the top. Image.

Step 2

Add 10 drops of food coloring.  Warning:  May require some patience as the food coloring makes its way through the oil and water. Image.

Step 3

Break the Alka-Seltzer tablet(s) into quarters or halves.  We like to “go big” in my classroom so we go with half a tablet at once.  Then just watch and be dazzled!  The food coloring will start “erupting” all sorts of grooviness in your bottle!  Kids have so much fun watching the the food coloring as it bubbles and moves.  As soon as the Alka-Seltzer has dissolved, you can add more or more for as long as you’d like.  Image.

DIY Salt Dough Ornaments for Kids

August 18, 2020 by Jessica Moore Leave a Comment

Learn the best recipe for salt dough and you will have salt dough ornaments that last for years to come. #halfpintpeepsblog #saltdoughornaments #Christmascrafts

I always love hearing about people’s favorite holiday traditions.  It’s like a little peek into the most special inner workings of a family.  A few of our family favorites include Lego advent calendars, constructing gingerbread houses from scrap, watching A Muppet’s Christmas Carol, and making salt dough ornaments.  We make a few ornaments each and choose a favorite to add to our Christmas tree as part of our yearly decor.  My boys (and I!!) love pulling out all the ornaments from years past and reminiscing all of our special holiday memories.  Whether you’d like to add this activity to your list of holiday traditions or just want something to do on a cold, snowy day, here’s a complete guide to making all the best DIY salt dough ornaments with kids.

Recipes

Keep It Simple!

I’ve tried all sorts of salt dough recipes over the years to make our tree ornaments, but I’ve learned that the best ornaments ALWAYS come from the most simple recipes.  Some recipes will call for equal parts salt and flour while others will call for double the flour to salt.  I recommend playing around with a few recipes to find your favorite, but I’ve found that the best recipes are those with an equivalent of 1 Cup flour to 1/2 Cup of salt and 3/8 Cup water.  Simply double or triple the recipe to make more ornaments. Recipes with equal parts salt and flour tend to crumble more easily over the years.  If you find that 3/8 Cup of water isn’t quite enough, just add a few drops more until you get a smooth dough.  Image.

A Burst of Color

If you’d like to make colorful ornaments, Julie Blanner shares this great recipe using food coloring.  Bake the dough in the oven at 200° F. for 20 minutes before flipping and finishing for another 15 minutes or so.  Be sure to flip the dough so the edges don’t curl!!

COCOrnaments

Cocoa and Christmas go together like Santa and peanut butter and jelly!  Add a bit of unsweetened cocoa powder to your salt dough recipe for this sweet take on the homemade ornaments.

Cinnamon/CinnaMEN

Give your salt dough ornaments a bit of spice with this yummy cinnamon-infused recipe.  One excellent tip here is to bake the dough with toothpicks in the holes to prevent them from closing in.

Ornament Ideas

Spectacular Snowflakes

Create a winter wonderland on your Christmas tree with these frosted snowflake ornaments.  Get the glistening tutorial from Lorajean’s Magazine.

Footprint Snowmen

These salt dough snowmen are a fun way to make a print of tiny toes as your little ones grow throughout the years.  Acrylic paint and felt can be used for Frosty’s clothes and other features.  Via.

Pantry Decor

I LOVE these pantry item ornaments!  They prove that there’s really no need for expensive candies or messy crafting supplies.  The star anise on the tree is particularly perfect!  Find this fantastic holiday craft on Apartment Therapy.  Use glue and corn starch instead of flour for this recipe.

Stamped

Use stamps, beads, leaves, and other small items to make fancy imprints in your salt dough.  What a great way to make personalized ornaments for your tree!  Learn more here.

12 Nights of Yule

Create a special tradition of learning about Christmas symbols with these 12 Nights of Yule ornaments.  What a great way to slow the holiday season down and remember to appreciate the true meanings of Christmas!  Learn more info from Tressabelle.

Sea Glass

Sea glass, buttons, and other small trinkets are excellent ways to embellish white or colored salt dough.  Red Ted Art shares the cute idea here.

Stained Glass

Homegrown Friends shares this fancy stained glass idea for some unique salt dough ornaments.  Simply punch out the center with a smaller cookie cutter and melt colorful pony beads for the stained glass effect.

3D Candy Canes

No need to roll out your dough with these 3D candy cane ornaments.  You’ll simply twist two strings of dough together, bend, and bake.  DIY here.

 Christmas Tree Crafts for Kids 

I think most people agree that the Christmas tree is the highlight of holiday decorating.  Somehow it represents years of memories, giving, togetherness and love.  Sometimes we don’t want the kids touching certain ornaments or parts of the tree, so Christmas tree crafts are a great way to make them feel more involved.
