\"Elephant<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a fun and frugal kids activity that utilizes easy-to-find supplies you probably already have at home, consider making colorful elephant toothpaste! It’s super easy to accomplish and guaranteed to get some fun reactions, as it’s actually pretty impressive for a little science project.<\/p>\n

If you’ve never heard of this before, follow along, and I’ll show you how to do your own elephant toothpaste experiment!<\/p>\n

What is elephant toothpaste?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It’s a reaction caused by the rapid decomposition of hydrogen peroxide<\/a> using potassium iodide or dry yeast and warm water as a catalyst that looks like huge foamy toothpaste big enough for an elephant! You can add food coloring<\/a> so it will foam up into a color foam which is even more fun to look at.<\/p>\n

Safety Note: <\/em><\/strong>Due to the elephant toothpaste ingredients, this experiment <\/em> will not be edible so be sure to share that with any little ones that may want to taste it. Also, you’ll want to wear safety glasses<\/a> when managing the hydrogen peroxide, just in case.<\/em><\/p>\n
