Have extra party hats? Your child will have a blast with this volcano experiment. If you don't have any party hats, you can make your own with paper.

Total Time: 5-10 minutes
Supplies:
2 Tbsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 squirt liquid dish soap
Few drops food coloring - optional
vinegar
party hat
scissors
glass jar smaller than party hat
Steps:
Cut zig zag on the tip of the party hat to resemble volcano.
Using a jar smaller than the party hat - add baking soda, salt, and your choice of food coloring.
Mix the ingredients together. Then add a squirt of liquid dish soap.
Place hat over the glass cup. Set up your volcano station (for less mess, I used a baking sheet) and have your child pour vinegar into the hole of the volcano and watch the volcano erupt!
