Spooky Crawling Bubbles from Dry Ice
For this creepy Halloween party effect, you will need:
- A tall, clear plastic cylinder-shaped vase
- Warm water
- Dry ice
- Liquid dishwasher detergent
- Food coloring
Make sure to follow all dry ice safe handling precautions.
Fill the vase with warm water, add a few drops of detergent and food coloring, and carefully drop a piece of dry ice into the water. The dry ice will turn into a gas under water and make colorful bubbles that will crawl out of the vase and "pop" with a little cloud of carbon dioxide fog.
