How to make Shimmery Shamrock Science
Mixed baking soda, green kool-aid, and glitter all in a bowl, then placed water in a squeeze bottle and made it erupt.
How to make Erupting Green Shamrocks
I mixed our fake snow mixture together and added green kool-aid to it for the green color, then placed it in a silicone shamrock mold and let them freeze over night. That made them hard like rocks. Then I placed them on a tray/pan and the kids used pipettes to squirt the vinegar on them for them to fizz. We had Fizzing Shamrocks.
This is a great fine motor skill for toddlers and preschoolers using the pipettes.
We have made fizzing rocks before but never thought about putting them in molds til I saw it at Science Sparks from Pinterest.
