Ingredients
- Clear plastic bottle or jar with a lid
- Water
- Vegetable oil
- Food coloring (your favorite colors)
- Glitter (various sizes and colors)
- Alka-Seltzer tablets (or any effervescent tablets)
- Funnel (optional)

Instructions
- Clean and dry your plastic bottle or jar thoroughly. Remove any labels to ensure a clear view of the lava lamp effect.
- Use a funnel to pour water into the bottle, filling it about one-third.
- Slowly pour vegetable oil into the bottle until it’s nearly full. Watch as the oil floats on top of the water.
