How to Make a Rubber Egg


Easter Experiment

My daughter made these at school and couldn't wait to teach us how.

You need:
a cup
an egg


Place the egg in a cup.



Fill the cup, completely covering the egg with vinegar.



It will fizz and bubble a bit.


Rubber Egg

Leave it for a few days.


The shell will dissolve, but look powdery.
Gently pour out the vinegar and remove your egg.


Easter Experiment

Under cool running water, gently rub the remaining powdery shell.

You can bounce it and play with it a little, but be careful it isn't rubbery all the way through.

My youngest burst hers shortly after cleaning it off.

The egg is no longer edible, so don't let the kiddos eat it.
