Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
Mix the flour and baking soda in the tub or bowl. It's safe to use your hands!
Step 2
Measure a half cup of vegetable oil and use a straw to add a couple drops of food coloring to the oil. Mix well. Note: the color will appear a lot darker in the oil than the final color when mixing with the dry ingredients.
Step 3
Add the colored oil to the bowl. Use a large spoon to mix the ingredients. Note: the food coloring may leave temporary stains on your hands, so use a mixing tool to avoid unwanted color on your hands.
Step 4
Play with the dough to form shapes or a scene! If you like, use cookie cutters or molds to help get you started.
Final result!
Fill a spray bottle with vinegar. Spray the dough gently and watch how the vinegar reacts to form fizz!
