I love doing science activities with my boys. I think they are pretty neat, but I love to see they boys’ faces when something cool happens. This is a super simple activity that amused my boys for over an hour and probably more if I had not run out of vinegar.
Ingredients:
baking soda
vinegar
food coloring (optional)
baking sheet (optional)
Directions:
1. Put baking soda on the pan. I then added the food coloring to each boys pan. Then add vinegar and see what happens. We used a syringe, a spray bottle, a suction thing (sorry I can’ think of what it is called) and anything else the boys asked to use.
The boys really enjoyed this. They both started by touching the baking soda. We talked about what it felt like and made a few simple observations about it.
Then they got busy adding different amounts of vinegar with different utensils. They had a great time. I just wish I could have caught some of their expressions better.

I am just hopping over from my Enchanted Thursdays Blog Hop to thank you for linking up this week! What a fantastic project, look at their curious and happy little faces!
I love doing hands on activities with my kids. Especially experiments. I guess I’m still a kid at heart.
What a fun idea! Thanks for sharing!
Love this activity. I found your post via T.G.I.F linky party. I am going to do this with my boys (2 and 4) for sure. We tried it a few months ago but I like the cookie sheet idea and the different methods of adding the vinegar. I can already hear the happy squeals
Thank you.
