Fizzing Hearts Activity

fizzing hearts- toddler at play (2)

This Fizzing Hearts Activity is a fun sensory play idea AND experiment in one!

You’ll need simple materials for this activity and very little effort. And I promise kids will have a blast. Who doesn’t like to make things fizz and feel like a scientist? My kids love activities like this. They’re fun, exciting and unique. And as a matter of fact, I love them too! These Fizzing Hearts will now be my go-to activity to keep the kids busy…because they will be busy until the hearts melt!

Materials needed for Fizzing hearts activity:

  • Baking soda
  • Vinegar
  • Food coloring 
  • Heart ice cube tray (or candy mold)
  • Eyedroppers
  • Storage container
  • Water
  • Bowl

 

Instructions:

It’s best to prepare this activity the night before.

  • Start by mixing baking soda and water. I eye-balled everything, but it should be almost like a paste. Droopy paste sounds like a good description! Add food coloring (use a ton of red) and mix.
  • Fill the heart mold and freeze.
  • Next, place the frozen hearts into a storage container. Add vinegar into a small bowl, prepare the eyedroppers and set close by.

What is my child learning and improving?

  • Sensories (kids are exploring smells, hearing and seeing the hearts fizz)

I like how this article describes sensory play. “Sensory activities facilitate exploration and naturally encourage children to use scientific processes while they play, create, investigate and explore. ”

  • Experiment (how does baking soda and vinegar react when mixed together)
  • Fine motor skills (filling and pressing the eyedropper strengthens the fingers)
  • Independence (this activity is awesome at entertaining kids, so they stay busy and occupied!)
