foaming dough

In a bowl or other container, measure out two cups of baking soda and add 2 Tablespoons of salt.  Mix throughly (little hands are very good at this).  Add 1 tsp soap and mix it into the dough well.  The dough should look crumbly.  Next add 8 Tablespoons of water.  If your dough will form a ball, you're all set.  If it's still too dry and crumbly add water 1 Tablespoon at a time until you have a dough that molds into a ball.  It will not feel like playdough - it's more smooshy and crumbly than that.  But it should form into and hold a ball.

use vinegar to foam

soap foam for playing

2 Tbsp of dish soap (we used Dawn Dish Soap) (I believe this is Washing Up Liquid in the UK?  Whatever soap you would use to wash your dishes)

1/4 cup water (please note if your tap water is especially hard or soft, you will need to substitute bottled water so that the soap will bubble well)

a mixer

food coloring or Colorations Liquid Watercolors (What are Liquid Watercolors?)**

In a bowl, add 2 Tbsp of dish soap and 1/4 cup of water.  Add food coloring or Colorations Liquid Watercolors (we used Liquid Watercolors here) to the mix if desired.  Mix on the highest possible setting for 1-2 minutes.  Your foam should be able to form stiff peaks that hold their shape.  Scoop it out into your container and repeat as necessary until you have the desired amount of foam!
