Small pieces of dry ice
Hot water

A graduated cylinder or a plastic water bottle

Something to pick up the dry ice like a spoon or gloves

Dish soap

Food coloring

The maximum amount of water you should add is about halfway up the glass, but you should have enough to fully submerge the dry ice.

You can add as much dish soap as you would like. The more, the more bubbly it will be.

Add any color food coloring to the glass. You can add as much as you would like. For a cooler effect, stir it up.

The larger the piece, the more of a reaction it will have. Make sure that the piece is small enough to put in the glass.
