Ocean Bottle or a Lava Bottle

11/28/2018

1 Comment

 
Make an Ocean Bottle (blue) or a Lava Bottle (red)! Pick an empty bottle (we used the baby oil bottle because it has a kid resistant lid, but any bottle will do) and fill it halfway with baby oil. Next, you will fill it close to the top with water. We made the kids do this part with an eye dropper to work on their pincer grasp. When they started to complain we gave them a “boost” with a turkey baster. When they got enough water in their bottle, they were allowed to pick red/yellow food coloring for a “lava” bottle or blue/green food coloring for an “ocean” bottle. The adults put the food coloring in or heavily supervised the kiddos putting it in. Then you put the lid on, or hot glue it on if it is not a child resistant lid, shake it up, and enjoy! 
Important note: Baby oil is VERY DANGEROUS and OFTEN DEADLY when inhaled or ingested.  Please supervise children when working around baby oil. The adults handled all of the baby oil and insured that the lids were closed and sealed, and that the kids understood that they were not to open their bottles.

Lava bottle is an amazing project for kids to do. Though it is easy to do but but you still need adult's strict supervision. It looks like an ocean water. There are bubbles created in the lava bottle. These bubbles attach themselves to the blobs of colored water and cause them to float to the surface. When the bubbles pop, the color blobs sink back to the bottom of the bottle and the process will continue.
