Description
A fun, hands-on science activity that transforms regular eggs into squishy, translucent ‘rubber’ eggs using simple kitchen ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 raw eggs (white shells work best)
- 2 cups white vinegar (enough to cover eggs)
- Food coloring (optional)
- Spoon for gentle handling
Instructions
- Place raw eggs carefully into a large glass or jar.
- Pour vinegar over the eggs until fully submerged.
- (Optional) Add food coloring to the vinegar for a fun effect.
- Let the eggs sit undisturbed for 24–48 hours. Bubbles will form as the shell dissolves.
- After the wait, gently remove the eggs with a spoon.
- Rinse eggs under cool water and rub gently to remove the remaining shell.
- Admire your bouncy, translucent eggs—perfect for spooky fun or science lessons!
Notes
White-shelled eggs give the best translucent effect. Handle gently—these are still raw inside and can burst.
