Fun Science for Little Kids

Now that there’s just a few weeks of summer left, you might be pulling out your hair trying to engage and entertain your young kids.

Here’s something you can do with things in your pantry. Chemistry experiments are always fun because it’s all about change.  I love this one because it also teaches kids how to mix primary colors to create a rainbow of colors – or mud when they mix all of the colors together. 

Simply pour baking soda into a glass baking dish.  Then fill 3 glass jars with white vinegar.  Add food coloring to each jar: red, blue, and yellow.  Then let your children pour the vinegar on the baking soda.  They’ll love watching it bubble up and then change colors as they mix the vinegar. 

It’s a great way to get your kids turned on to science!  Make sure you click the link in the source below – there’s a great video!
