Safety notes
- ⚠️ Adult supervision is required for handling baking soda and vinegar, as they can cause irritation if ingested or come into contact with eyes. Wear old clothes as food coloring can stain. Ensure good ventilation when the 'eruption' occurs to disperse any fumes.
Cleanup
- 🧹 Carefully discard the clay and any volcanic debris into a trash can. Rinse the plastic cup and tray with warm soapy water. Wipe down the work surface thoroughly to remove any colored residue.
