Get ready for a fun and fizzy adventure with these Magic Treasure Rocks! Bursting with surprises, they’re perfect for crafty kids.
Ingredients:
– 1 cup baking soda
– 1/4 cup water
– Food coloring (optional)
– Small treasures or toys (plastic gems, coins, beads, etc.)
– Vinegar (for the fizzy reaction)
Directions:
1. Start by grabbing a bowl and adding in that 1 cup of baking soda. Slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup of water while stirring. Keep mixing until you reach a moldable texture—think of wet sand that can hold its shape!
2. If you want to add some flair, now’s the time to drop in a few drops of your favorite food coloring. Stir it well to ensure the color spreads evenly throughout the mixture.
3. It’s shaping time! Take a small scoop of your mixture, place it in your hand or a mold, and set a tiny treasure or toy right in the center. Pack the mixture around it like a cozy hug to create a rock shape.
4. Lay your treasure rocks on a plate or tray and let them dry overnight. Crunched for time? You can pop them in the sun or even in the freezer for a quick freeze-dry effect.
5. Once they’re fully dry, it’s time for the fun part! Grab some vinegar and pour or squirt it over your rocks to activate the fizz. Watch the magic unfold as they bubble and dissolve, revealing the hidden surprises inside!
Happy crafting!
