Non-Candy Valentine’s Day Idea

Kids love hands-on Science Activities, and this Volcano Science Experiment is one of our favorites. The great thing about this idea is you can use it as a fun non-candy Valentine gift.

Baking Soda and Vinegar Science Experiments are so easy, and they’ll excite your kids and keep them interested in science.

As you can see, all you need is a few ingredients. Begin by placing the clear vase or container into a pan or dish to catch the mess that will come from the overflowing volcano. This will help to catch the mess when the fizzing effect overflows, and it makes for easy cleanup. WE ALL love easy cleanup.

To make these for a Valentine gift idea, pour some baking soda into a bowl and add glitter or Valentine confetti.

Then separate the baking soda mixture into individual snack-size bags or vials. You can see the picture below for an example of how we set ours up.

Add your baking soda mixture into the bag, then staple your Valentine card on the bag.

The children will need to add the vinegar to create their eruption

For the vinegar, we like to add a drop of red or pink food coloring to keep with the Valentine theme.

Valentines Day Science

• Begin by placing the clear vase or container into a pan to catch the mess that will come from the overflowing volcano.
• Add some baking soda and Valentine glitter or confetti into your clear container (vase)
• Place a drop or two of pink food coloring into some distilled vinegar if you would like your liquid volcano to be colored.
• Pour the vinegar into the container with the baking soda and watch it erupt in all of its pink glitter-filled glory

Pour the colored vinegar into the vase over top of the baking soda. Watch as a fizzing reaction occurs and bubbles over. Adding color to your vinegar is optional, but it does make for a nice Valentine explosion.
