Colorful Fizzing Baking Soda Stones Craft

4. Dry the stones:
   Carefully place your colorful creations on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let them air dry for several hours or preferably overnight until they are completely hardened. They should feel dry and solid to the touch before handling further.
5. Decorate or gift:
   Once dry, your baking soda stones are ready to be displayed, packaged as handmade gifts, or stored until ready to use in your next science experiment.
6. Fizzing fun (optional):
   For an extra interactive touch, drizzle or spray white vinegar over the stones and watch them bubble and fizz! The classic reaction between vinegar and baking soda adds an exciting sensory element that kids will love.

Tips & Creative Ideas

• Experiment with colors: Try layering different colors in one stone for a marbled effect or press glitter into the surface for sparkle.
• Add fragrance: Mix a drop or two of essential oil into each batch for a light scent—lavender and citrus are great choices.
• Use silicone molds: For perfect shapes, press the mixture into small silicone molds like stars, hearts, or shells.
• Gift idea: Package several dried stones in a jar with a small bottle of vinegar and a tag labeled “Fizz Me!”

These colorful baking soda stones are a fun, fizzing fusion of science, art, and creativity—ideal for kids’ activities, educational play, or just a bright spot in your day. Don’t forget to share your creations!
