Doll Craft #11 - Science Fair Fun!!!!

Yeah, I know what you are thinking. Ummm, Madi, how could the Science Fair possibly be fun???? Well, isn't. For us humans, anyway :) But, dolls are a different matter completely. For, my dolls' science fair, they made lava lamps. Have your dolls make homemade lava lamps to! Just follow the instructions below...

 Before you begin, you will need some supplies:

• Two small, plastic cups
• Food coloring
• Salt
• Cooking oil
• Water
• Small, clear, plastic bottle (I used an empty Bath and Body Works hand-sanitizer bottle)
• Paper towels (this can get VERY messy)
• Tape (optional)
• Dish soap (optional)

Lets get started!

 Spread your works surface with paper towels or newspaper. Take out your clear, plastic bottle and wash it out. If there are any labels, run the bottle under warm water and dish soap. Peel back carefully. Use the tape to take off the sticky residue. 

 Remove the cap.

 Take out one of your small plastic cups and fill it with cooking oil with enough that should fill your plastic bottle about 3/4 of the way.

 Pour it in (I accidentally didn't add enough in this pic, but I added it later :p)

 Next, fill the last 1/4 of the bottle with water. You can use the other small cup to measure. The water should sink to the bottom.

 Great! Now, take out you food coloring. I used blue, but you can use whatever color you wish.

 Add about five to ten drops.

 Wait a few minutes. Your drops should "melt" into the water as shown above.

 Once all of the drops have "melted" into the water, take out your salt, and add about a small pinch into the mixture.

 Wipe off your bottle with a wet paper towel and then dry it. Screw on the cap tight. When you think that it is tight enough, screw it on tighter. We don't want ANY of this stuff leaking out. It could cause a BIG mess.

Turn it around and around, upside down, whatever, to see the lamp in action. If you don't have any dolls, this could make a cute desktop trinket :)

WARNINGS
DO NOT GIVE TO LITTLE KIDS!!! WE DON'T WANT ANYONE TO SWALLOW THIS STUFF!!

Till next time,
Madi :)
