St Patricks Day Fizzing Shamrocks Craft, Olivia Foster, A Crafty Living, easy kids crafts

We got in the spirit of St Patrick’s Day this week – Fizzing Shamrocks craft anyone? – with this awesome science-meets-art project.

Have you ever tried the baking soda & vinegar experiment? This was the first time Mr3 had experienced it. To say he loved it would be an understatement!

I didn’t tell him about the epic reaction that was about to occur, instead I asked him to predict what might happen when he added the vinegar. His response? A colour change.

Upon adding the vinegar, Mr3 looked up at me with the biggest eyes & an even bigger smile. This arty-experiment sure is a must try. Here’s how to make your own St Patrick’s Day Fizzing Shamrocks Craft.

>>> Make These St Patrick’s Day Fizzing Shamrocks Craft

St Patricks Day Fizzing Shamrocks Craft, A Crafty Living, Olivia Foster, easy kids crafts

Age: 3+ years
Time: 15 mins + drying time

You’ll Need:

Cardstock Shamrock cutouts
Baking Soda
Green Food Colouring
Vinegar
Pipettes
Ruler

To Make:

1 // We tried 2 different ways to colour our Shamrock’s: both leaving a unique pattern! (Remember the food dye will stain clothes & fingers)

You can:

  • Make a dry mix of baking soda & food colouring – this created the darker Shamrocks. Or,
  • Colour the vinegar with food colouring – this created the lighter Shamrocks.

2 // Pour your baking soda over the cardstock – you can spread it out or leave it in piles.

3 // Using a pipette, squirt vinegar over the baking soda and watch & listen to the reaction.

4 // Allow to dry completely then take a ruler and scrape off the excess baking soda.

That’s your Shamrocks all finished! This experiment would also work great for a St Patrick’s Day Fizzing Rainbow. Give it a try and show us the results.

>> We’d love to hear what *your* kids thought would happen upon adding the vinegar!
