Elephant Toothpaste


Here is a fun experiment you'll have to try this summer. It's called Elephant Toothpaste.



DO NOT EAT IT!!
Of course, when I yelled out "Elephant toothpaste fight!!!!!!", the experiment rose to a whole 'nother lever. (I do not recommend this portion of the experiment for little ones.)


OH! And here is a fun video to watch. Have you ever dropped a Mentos into Diet Coke?

Happy experimenting!!

  4. I have a dumb question- since this is made with the same hydrogen peroxide used to process hair color and bleach does it bleach things? I am just thinking of you gals with elephant toothpaste on your clothes and hair. That would be a funny conversation to have. "Oh, Nikki, did you get your hair highlighted?" "Nope. I had an elephant toothpaste fight." lol.

  6. Randi--not a dumb question at all!
    It didn't bleach our hair or clothes, because when you add all the ingredients together in the pop bottle, the hydrogen peroxide breaks down somehow & essentially the bubbles coming out are just water. (I know I totally explained it wrong.)
    But still, have Elephant Toothpaste fights at your own risk. haha!
