Balloon Foam Party. Foam Fountain from the Balloon

🎂 5 + years ⏱️ 1 h 📍 Anywhere ⭐ easy

A balloon can do more than just fly! With water, some bubble bath, and a good shake, you can turn it into a fun foam cannon. At first, the balloon looks completely normal. But the longer you shake it, the more bubble bath mixes with the water. Suddenly, the balloon is full of foam. When you carefully open it, a thick foam fountain bursts out. This is sure to bring lots of laughter! Along the way, you'll discover how water and soap create foam together. Try to see if shaking more or less makes a difference. Who can create the biggest foam fountain? This experiment is especially fun outdoors and shows that exciting discoveries can come from simple things.

What you'll need

Balloons
1 empty bottle
Water
Bubble bath for kids or dish soap

How it works

Fill the bottle with water. Then add a few squirts of bubble bath or dish soap.
Blow up the balloon. Hold the air in tightly so nothing escapes.
Carefully pull the opening of the balloon over the bottle neck.
Turn the bottle upside down and pour all the water with the bubble bath into the balloon. Hold everything tightly.
Carefully pull the balloon off the bottle. Keep the opening sealed with your fingers. Now it's time to shake, shake, shake! The longer you shake, the more foam is created in the balloon.
Hold the balloon securely to the side and carefully open it. A fun foam fountain will shoot out. Enjoy the wonder!
