Unicorn Science Activities – Easy Science Experiments

We love Unicorns, so I wanted to come up with a fun Unicorn Science Activity kids of all ages will enjoy. I came up with a super cool frozen unicorn fizzy Science idea. Whether it’s science experiments or sensory play explorations you’re looking for, this Unicorn activity is both.

Unicorn Science Activities – Easy Science Experiments

Here is an easy, fizzy science experiment for preschoolers that requires only a few common household ingredients. But it’s even better than your average science experiment because it has unicorns.

This Preschool science idea works great for any unicorn fan or Unicorn party idea. Your toddler will love this fizzy activity too.

Easy science experiments like these that use baking soda and vinegar teach children all about chemical reactions.

Fizzy Science Experiment

What you will need to make your Unicorn Baking Soda and Vinegar Activity is in this picture below. However, I have it displayed in a recipe list form to print out towards the bottom of the page. Have Fun!

Unicorn Science Experiments

Preschoolers may not fully understand the science behind the experiments. However, children can start to build on these concepts by doing these fun activities with you!

Start with using some baking soda and a little water to make into a paste. Then add a couple of drops of food coloring to make it blue or whatever color you’d like to use. Next time we plan on making different colors, so it’s like a rainbow of unicorns.

Use a spoon and spoon your baking soda mixture into the unicorn molds.
Set your unicorn mold into the freezer for a couple of hours so the baking soda unicorns harden.

Next, fill your squeeze bottle or jar up with vinegar and add a squirt of dish soap into your vinegar. You can also add a couple of drops of food coloring to your vinegar (food coloring is optional).

Baking Soda and Vinegar Experiment Explanation

Let’s talk about what happens when baking soda and vinegar mix? Baking Soda is a base (bicarbonate) and Vinegar is an acid
The reaction that children see is everything getting fizzy, erupting, and lots of bubbles. That is from an acid and a base mix that causes a reaction called carbon dioxide.

When you are ready to do the experiment or let your kids play, warm your vinegar up for 30- 45 seconds to get it warm (If you don’t warm it up it won’t react as much to the frozen baking soda).

Have fun pouring your vinegar over the little frozen unicorns and watching it fizz.

We added the dish soap to the vinegar because it helps to make a “foamier” reaction than vinegar alone.

Science experiments are vital for children because they can help to spark a love of science and learning in a child that will ignite them throughout their life.

The simple science experiments that your child does now may spark their desire to learn and stay focused on Science and STEM in the future. And we all know we can use more of that interest in the world.
