Magic Potion

For Primary singing time on Sunday we mixed up "magic potions" to reveal which songs we would be singing. I think it turned out fun for the kids. Anyway, my kids all week have been chanting, "magic potion, magic potion, magic potion". I think we have done this experient at least once a day this week! 4 of the potions turned colors and the other exploded!!

4 of the glasses are water only. 1 glass is 1/2 water, 1/2 vinegar. On the spoons next to water only glasses, put 1 drop of food coloring and cover that with baking soda. The spoon next to vinegar is baking soda only.

After all potions have been mixed! And then the chanting begins again-- "magic potion, magic potion, magic potion". I'm running out of vinegar!

I may have to use that this summer. I'm the permanent substitute Primary Chorister.

This looks so fun! I think we'll have to try this after school today.

That was so fun! I know my kids loved it! I was wondering how you did that. Thanks for telling your secret! :-)
