Try This With Your Kids This Summer. The Exploding Baggie Experiment

This exploding baggie experiment is a fun way to engage kids of all ages this summer. Using simple ingredients in your home this will make for a fun afternoon watching the colours bubble and react together. 

Exploding Baggie

Exploding Baggie Ingredients

  • Baggies 
  • Kleenex or toilet paper (it’s thinner and dissolves easier than napkins)
  • Vinegar – 1/2 cup
  • Water – 1/4 cup
  • Baking Soda – 4 tablespoons
  • Food Colouring – We picked the fluorescent drops 

Assembling your Exploding Baggie

  • Mix water, vinegar, and food colouring in the baggies
  • Put the baking soda into your kleenex or toilet paper and wrap up – make one for each baggie that you plan on doing 
  • Find a place to set up your exploding baggie experiment 
  • Place wrapped baking soda in the baggie and seal quickly
  • Watch the bag fill up with the vinegar and watch what happens 

Clean-up is easy, we put the baggies and kleenex in the garbage and sprayed the cement off! The kids are already asking to make these again, so I see this as a favourite activity this summer.

The Granville @bambinigroup Centre is now open! O The Granville @bambinigroup Centre is now open! One of my favourite features when you walk into the centre is the open piazza which is filled with greenery and lights that can mimic the sky outside. Not only is this a great space for children to enjoy throughout their day, but also one that was created with community in mind. From parents group to well-being classes and more @bambinigroup wants to bring families together. #AD #yeg #yegkids #yeggers #yegfamily #yegmoms #yegre #edmontonmoms #edmonton #edmontonfamily #edmontonkids #bambini #reggioinspired #childcare #family #yegblogger
