How to Make an Exploding Snowman in a Bag
Materials:
•       A sandwich bag
•       Permanent markers
•       Baking soda
•       Vinegar
•       Paper towel or tissue paper
Directions
1. Give the sandwich bag to your kid to decorate with permanent markers. This is a good opportunity to teach your kid how to draw a snowman’s face. Do be careful that your kid doesn’t get permanent marker on the furniture, the floor, of himself.

1. Wrap 3 teaspoons of baking soda inside a piece of paper towel or tissue.

2. Place the baking soda packet inside the plastic bag.

1. Pour about 1-2 cups of white vinegar into the sandwich bag and seal the bag quickly. It should swell up quickly.

2. Stand back and watch it explode!
