Today is the seventh month for the 12 Months of Sensory Dough series!!

I did not know what to do for “Fizzy Dough”, but we made a volcano back in our Letter V Tot School, so I took the easy route and went with a good ol’ baking soda and vinegar chemical reaction.  Check out the other awesome ideas, or link up your own, at the linky below!!

This activity was safe for both of my children, and I often try to make the ingredients “edible” but not always “delicious,” so they aren’t always eating sensory experiments!

Invitation to Play

John was less than thrilled by the cloud dough substance that I set out.  I purposely made this activity simple.  I added a beautiful lavender scent, with some lavender flowers and leaves and some sticks too.  He was intrigued by the purple colored squirt bottles, so he stuck around.

His smile got huge when he began.

May was, also, very excited by the bubbles.

And it smelled lovely from the essential oil.

May played a bit after the bubbles ceased, but John was a bit upset that the “fun” was over.

lavender fizzy sensory dough recipe

This sensory dough is almost cloud dough.  I added more oil than usual, so we could mold it into balls easily.

The ingredients include:

• one box baking soda
• about 2 cups flour (I always approximate)
• at least 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• a couple of drops of lavender essential oil
• fill squirt or spray bottles with vinegar (+ food coloring, if desired)

I stirred the ingredients in a bowl with my fingers.  It smelled amazing :)  This would work with any theme or oil (green peppermint, oranges, or with kool aid!)  Have fun!
