A new Easter activity after the eggs are colored!

Happy April!  We're getting ready for Easter at our house, we colored eggs a couple days ago.  My daughter is now 4 and really enjoyed coloring them this year!  After the fun of egg coloring is done, we still have a lot of egg coloring materials sitting around... the little colored cups, vinegar, and food coloring.  So we discovered a new "Easter" activity to do! My daughter is calling this an Easter activity - so i'm going with it!

It's the same principal as the "volcano project" from grade school but this activity is less time to set up and it's geared towards preschoolers! 

Materials needed:
-Egg coloring cups (or any other cup/plastic container will do)
-Medicine dropper
-Liquid food coloring
-Vinegar
-Baking Soda
-Baking Pan

Set up:
Super easy! Pour vinegar in your cups, add food coloring. Put a layer of baking soda in your pan and your ready to go!  Took me 3 minutes to set it up.

She really enjoyed squeezing the dropper over the baking soda and watching it bubble up and listening to it fizz!  This is a fantastic rainy day (or windy day - here) activity when it's not fun to be outside! It held her attention for almost an hour and if you have a preschooler you know this is golden!

 

Then she got crazy and started mixing baking powder into cups, getting Dora and Diego involved...she had a ball with a smile on her face the whole time. 

 

I wonder if this "science experiment" will increase chances of her becoming a doctor?!?
