Description
Create your own magical treasure rocks that reveal surprises and provide hours of fun for kids!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 cups of baking soda
- Water
- Food coloring
- Treasures (small toys or candies)
- Bowls
- Spoons
Instructions
- Measure 2-3 cups of baking soda into separate bowls, one for each color you want to create.
- Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl to create vibrant hues. Mix well to distribute the color evenly.
- Gradually add water to each bowl while mixing until the baking soda is damp and holds its shape when squeezed.
- Scoop a handful of the mixture and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place a small toy or candy in the center and form the mixture around it to create a rock shape.
- Set the formed rocks aside to dry for about 24 hours. Ensure they are completely dry and hard before using.
- Once dry, present them to kids as a surprise or hide them around the house or garden for a magical treasure hunt.
- When ready, drop the rocks into vinegar and watch the fizzy reaction reveal the hidden treasure.
- For extended fun, use squirt bottles filled with vinegar and let kids experiment with their own fizzing discoveries.
Notes
- Ensure that the treasures used are safe and suitable for children.
- Supervise children during the activity for safety, especially with small items.
- Experiment with different food coloring to create unique designs.
