Thanks for Sharing!

Mix Baking Soda with Vinegar and watch your little one’s expression as they experience the magic of the foaming and fizzing action.

I first saw the idea of doing this with kids somewhere on Pinterest. I thought “why not just try it with our little one?” This activity is not new to me but it is to our toddler and it fascinates her. It sure did. This is our second time doing this activity. Her expression the first time we made it was priceless. However, I think I may have deleted that photo.

How to Make Baking Soda and Vinegar Experiment

You need:

  • Baking Soda
  • White Vinegar
  • Food Coloring (if desired, but adding it makes it more interesting for little eyes)
  • Get a bowl and some form of wide mouth jar or container. I used a Ball canning jar.

  • Place it in another wider and bigger bowl to contain the solution.
  • Measure about a 1/3 cup or a little more vinegar in a separate cup. Add food coloring of choice.
  • Add about a tablespoon of baking soda to the jar.
  • Pour the vinegar over the baking soda and and let the kids what what happens.

Colorful Baking Soda and Vinegar Experiment

Add to food coloring to the baking sod and vinegar experiment for a really cool experience. We decided to get creative and do a few different colors all at once. My daughter and I poured into a different jar at the same time. The second photo below shows when the fizzing stops and all the bubbles just seem to melt away:(

Be sure and add enough baking soda and vinegar so it can rise all the way to the top.  When the foaming action stops you can add a more vinegar to the solution. It may foam up again. You can also add more baking soda and keep experimenting.
