Making My Own Lava Lamp

Parent and child create a homemade lava lamp using water, oil, food coloring, and effervescent tablets, observing the mesmerizing bubble movement together. The agent coaches the parent to notice fine motor skills during material handling, attention to visual details, and shared calm observation — building focus and sensory awareness.

Free to do together whenever you like.
