Description
Baking Soda Dinosaur Eggs are a fun, fizzy kitchen project that brings pure joy to kids of all ages. These magical eggs hide tiny dinosaur toys inside and create an exciting eruption when cracked open with vinegar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups baking soda
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Food coloring
- Small plastic dinosaur toys
- Spray bottle filled with vinegar
- Optional: glitter for sparkle
Instructions
- Combine baking soda and cornstarch in a large bowl. Slowly add water, stirring as you go. The mixture should feel like wet sand. Add the teaspoon of vinegar and watch it fizz slightly.
- Divide your mixture into separate bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix well until the color is evenly distributed.
- Take a handful of colored mixture and press it firmly in your palm. Place a small dinosaur toy in the center, then add more mixture around it, pressing firmly to completely encase your dinosaur. Shape it into an egg form.
- Let your dinosaur eggs dry completely at room temperature for 24-48 hours.
- Place eggs in a large plastic basin or tray. Give each child a spray bottle filled with white vinegar and let them spray the eggs to watch as they fizz, bubble, and dissolve to reveal the hidden dinosaurs inside!
Notes
- Ensure the eggs are completely dry before using.
- Use different colors for a vibrant display.
- Store any leftover mixture in an airtight container.
