Science Fun with Baking Soda and Vinegar| Kid Activities

April 1, 2020 Comments : 6

I️f you’re anything like me, you may be running low on ideas to keep your kids occupied right now! I️’ve seen tons of great ideas out there, the main issue is my girls only last 5-10 minutes on each activity before they’re ready to move on. With that said, I️ thought back to my school days and some of the science experiments I️ remember doing and decided to show them how baking soda and vinegar react when mixed together. I️ originally tossed around the idea of a papier-mache volcano, but decided that was a little more in-depth than I️ wanted to go right now (save that for a rainy day) – and that’s how I️ settled on this idea instead!

First, you’ll want to gather the items. Make sure you have baking soda, vinegar (I️ used white vinegar, but apple cider vinegar will also work), food dye and the proper bowls/dishes. I️ used rectangle glass containers for the baking soda and glass ramekins for the vinegar.

1. Pour a layer of baking soda in the rectangle or square dish.

2. In glass ramekins or cups, pour about 1/4 cup of vinegar in each and then add different colors of food dye to each one and stir well.

3. Using medicine droppers or spoons, let your kids transfer the colored vinegar to the baking soda dish and watch it foam and sizzle as the two react. The fun colors add a little extra fun for the kids and as a bonus, they can learn color mixing to make new colors!

They had a lot of fun with this and actually ask me to do this baking soda and vinegar activity with them all the time now. I️ love that it’s a low-cost and simple project that keeps them occupied longer than 5 minutes, unlike most things we do! Ha. If you find yourself running out of ideas, be sure to give this one a try. Check out this post for more fun activity inspiration.

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️

@prolonfmd Day One | The struggle is real 😅 I’ve done cleanses in the past so I’m no stranger to this…but coming off a few weeks of holiday drinks and some indulgences, today was no easy feat 🤣 My energy definitely ebbed and flowed throughout the day, and felt weak and nauseated every now and then from lack of calories and protein 🙈 It was the longest day ever, but I cleaned, vacuumed, mopped and then did a @onepeloton walk & yoga class and still had time left over (side note, why doesn’t every day feel this long?! 😆). Actually feeling good this evening after having a sparkling water ‘mocktail’, energized and clear-minded 👌🏼

2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so ma 2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so many ways, but I also thrived in many ways. Continuing to grow a business with a husband, three kids, a dog and two cats is not a simple feat but here we are 😏 We adventured a LOT this year - from Girl Scout adventures to family vacations to HHI, the mountains, OBX and more, we had plenty of fun and made lots of memories 😘 The best part of this year was just really allowing myself to live in the moment and not allow stress to overtake me as I’ve allowed it in the past 😅 I also rediscovered my love of running thanks to my @onepeloton Tread and hit big goals at @purebarre_highlandcreek 💪🏼 Here’s to living more in the present, accomplishing bigger goals and dreams and having an amazing 2023 🥂
