When it liquifies, the pressure will become enourmous and there will be an explosion. I have the scars to prove it. Whatever you do, don’t put dry ice in a sealed container.

Our son is 7 and we can keep him occupied for hours with just a little bit of vinegar, baking soda, and food coloring. Throw in a few more random items like salt, sugar, flour. It's a party!
