Fizzy Bubbles!

We were stuck inside sick a couple weeks ago, and Amara was getting a little restless. I went in search of something simple for her to do with things we had on had. Last thing I was wanting to do was run to the store for things when I felt like I'd been run over.

All we needed for this little activity was vinegar, baking soda, food coloring, a dropper, a glass baking dish and a few bowls.

Pour some of the baking soda into the glass baking dish. Then pour a little vinegar into each bowl and add a drop or 2 of the food coloring in. We did red, blue, yellow and then mixed in the dropper to make other colors. Then just squirt the vinegar into the baking soda. You'll get a nice rainbow colored dish of fizzling bubbles. Same concept as making the erupting volcano for the science fair, but on a much smaller, less messy scale.

Amara just loved this. She's been pulling out the dish we used and asking to make bubbles even days later. It was simple to do and clean up, even with us not feeling the best.
