Needed:
A bowl
Baking soda
Measuring cup
1/2 tsp.
Balloon
Vinager
Funnel
Put funnel into balloon. Pour in 1/2 tsp of baking soda. Then over the bowl, or sink, pour in 1/4 cup of vinager into the balloon by using the funnel. Tie balloon and shake.
Caution: You have to be real fast to tie the balloon, otherwise your balloon makes for a great volcano!
What happens: When the vinager (liquid) mixes with sodium bicarbonate (solid), it then produces carbon dioxide (gas). The gas then blows up the balloon.
Other things to "blow up" using vinager and baking soda:
Plastic ziploc baggies (These do explode.. recommend doing this outside or in bathtub.)
Film cartridges (also do these outside.)

Thanks for the comments and links for my fledgling knitting hobby. I was actually thinking of doing a basketweave to start with but my feeble brain couldn't handle going back and forth even every other row, let alone in the middle of a row, LOL. So I'm knitting this only and next I'll purl something a lot. Then I might be brave enough to combine the two. I would have messed up the basketweave anyway - I wouldn't have known to put the knit row in between. So that was very helpful to know!

We made the mistake a couple of years ago of trying that in the kitchen and ended up with an explosion of baking soda! It was still fun though!
