An engaging craft project that demonstrates a fun chemical reaction while creating a snowy tree.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1 tsp liquid dish soap
- Cardboard or paper plate
- Plastic tree or small cone-shaped object
- Food coloring (optional)

Instructions
- Prepare your base by placing the cardboard or paper plate on a flat surface and centering your plastic tree or cone-shaped object on the plate.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of baking soda with 1/4 cup of warm water and mix until a thick paste forms.
