I've had several ideas of crafts or activities we would do this summer, and some we've done here or there, and others like this one are just now getting done! I saw the idea online to get a dish of baking soda and color some vinegar with food coloring, then let the little guys have fun putting droppers of the vinegar on the baking soda and watch it fizz up.
Some of these activities we have to do after brother is asleep, or plan accordingly and do them during snack time or a good sitting still time... the stars don't always aline for these things! I'll look forward to when they can both do the same activity to some capacity. If that ever happens.....
We had to work a little bit on the coordination of squeezing the bulb of the medicine dropper and keeping it in the vinegar while letting go. We almost had vinegar all over the floor in a few instances!
C had his snack (goldfish, cheerios and cranberries, and some pedialyte (tummy troubles the night before - poor guy)) and played with his gear caterpillar.
These activities take concentration!
Concentration can make for silly faces!
Silly faces on one boy can lead to silly faces on the other boy!
When we were just about to run out of vinegar (or patience?) H decided to skip the dropper and just pour the vinegar on the baking soda!
A fun and not too messy activity! I recommend it!
