These are some crazy-fun variations on the classic baking soda and vinegar experiment!

Today I’m excited to welcome Asia from Fun at Home with Kids – not only is she a brilliant creator of play recipes, but she also has three books in print!  If you want to spark your kids’ creativity with open-ended play ideas, you simply must follow her popular blog!

Here’s Asia…

I’m thrilled to be guest posting for Anna! Not only is she a lovely friend, but I am a huge fan of her wonderful site.  Over on our blog, we love things that fizz – it’s one of our favorite ways to play!  I thought I’d share our favorite five activities that fizz with you today.

Find the full details for these fizzy activities on our blog by clicking on the links that interest you!

1 – First up is a staple – how to get the best baking soda and vinegar reaction every time! We tested a bunch of variations and shared the winner in this post.

2 – We can’t get enough of the vibrant swirling colors in our Fizzy Slush.  If you store it in the refrigerator for a half hour before play it will stay refreshingly cool as you swirl and fizz the rainbow of colors.

3 – It’s so fun to watch rays of color explode as our Magic Foaming Treasure Stars react and release their hidden treasures.

4 – Our kids can sometimes be reluctant at bath time, but these Magic Hatching Dinosaur Eggs always convince them. Just add water and watch as the egg bubbles and hatches out a little toy you can play with in the bathtub!

5 – Our Fizzy Foaming Car Wash is a total favorite, both inside during the winter and outside in our water table in the summer.  Bonus – your toy cars are squeaky clean afterward!

I hope you’ll have time to try one – or all five – of our easy recipes for some fun sensory play.  If you’d like to see more of my ideas, you can find a ton in my books, 150 Screen Activities for Kids and The Curious Kids’ Science Book, on my blog, or follow me on Facebook or Pinterest.
