Description
Create spooktacular fun with these Bouncy Ghost Eggs, perfect for Halloween-themed activities or educational science lessons.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 raw eggs (white shells work best for visual effect)
- 2 cups white vinegar (enough to fully cover the eggs)
- Food coloring (optional for fun visual effects)
- A spoon for gentle handling
Instructions
- Carefully place the raw eggs into a large glass or jar.
- Pour white vinegar over the eggs until they are completely submerged.
- Optional: Add a few drops of food coloring to the vinegar for a spooky pop of color.
- Let the eggs sit undisturbed for 24 to 48 hours. During this time, you’ll see bubbles forming on the shells as the vinegar reacts with the calcium carbonate!
- After 24–48 hours, use a spoon to gently remove the eggs.
- Rinse the eggs under cool water and gently rub them to remove any remaining shell.
- In the end, what you’re left with are translucent, bouncy eggs that seem like they’re made of rubber.
