147K Shares WIZARD’S BREW RECIPE IN PROJECT #3 I used to think science was above the heads of preschool aged children until I became the science parent at my children’s coop preschool and saw just how wrong I was! Some of the best preschool activities are science related. Preschool age children are inquisitive and open-minded, perfect traits for budding young scientists! Science at a preschool level is a lot of fun, kids are truly mesmerized by chemical reactions, love exploring nature, and jump to build things. RAINBOW WIZARD’S BREW Ingredients: • Baking Soda • or Food coloring • Glitter • Dishsoap • Vinegar • Glass jar • Small plastic containers • Tray Instructions: Fill the jar halfway with vinegar, then add a few drops of one color of /food coloring and some glitter.

Squeeze in some dish soap, stir, and place the jar on a tray. Now have your child add in a heaping teaspoon of baking soda, stir again, and watch the foaming begin! The soap makes it foam rather than fizz.

To keep the reaction going continue adding baking soda and vinegar when the foam starts to slow. To make it change colors, add a tablespoon of vinegar mixed with one color of liquid watercolor/food coloring every so often. Make sure to dump the colored vinegar into the center of the brew. Tip: Stir It!
