Description
A fun and engaging DIY project that combines culinary creativity with basic science, perfect for kids and adults alike.
Ingredients
- 2 large lemons
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon dish soap
- Food coloring (optional)
- Serving tray or baking sheet
- Small measuring spoons
- Knife (for adults)

Instructions
- Cut the tops off each lemon to create a “volcano” peak.
- Hollow out the lemons using a spoon to create space for the eruption.
- In a separate bowl, mix baking soda and dish soap.
- If desired, add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture.
