Description
Make fizzy, fun Baking Soda Dinosaur Eggs—hide toy dinos inside for an exciting science-meets-play surprise!
Ingredients
– Baking soda
– Vinegar
– Water
– Plastic dinosaurs
– Food coloring (optional) These items are inexpensive, safe for children, and commonly found around the house or at any grocery store. The combination of baking soda and vinegar creates the chemical reaction responsible for the fun fizzing effect, while the water helps bind the mixture into a dough-like consistency.
Instructions
1. Prepare the Baking Soda Mixture: Add 1–2 cups of baking soda to a mixing bowl.
2. Add Color (Optional): Mix in a few drops of food coloring for colorful eggs. Stir until evenly combined.
3. Form a Dough: Slowly add water while stirring until the texture is moldable like wet sand.
4. Shape the Dino Eggs: Flatten some mixture, place a plastic dinosaur in the center, and shape the mixture around it to form an egg.
5. Use a Mold (Optional): Use silicone molds or plastic egg containers to shape and smooth the eggs.
6. Dry the Eggs: Place eggs on a tray lined with parchment and let them air dry for about 24 hours. Use a fan to speed up if needed.
7. Time to Hatch: Drop the dry eggs into vinegar or spray with vinegar to start the fizzy eruption.
8. Break Open the Egg: As the egg softens, help kids open it to reveal the hidden dinosaur inside!
Notes
Add glitter for extra sparkle or essential oils for a subtle scent. Store dried eggs in an airtight container until ready to use.
