Important Note: Prior to using any of the products mentioned, it is highly recommended to thoroughly read and understand all safety precautions associated with each product.

Please be advised that this guide is intended for informational purposes only and APC Pure cannot accept any responsibility for the outcome of any usage based on this guide.

Here are the materials you'll need:

  • Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate
  • Acetic Acid 3%
  • Food Colouring
  • Water
  • Bowl and Spoon
  • Plastic Eggs
  • Surprise Items (this could be small figurines similar to what you would find in a Kinder Surprise Egg!)

Step 1: Empty a 500gm pack of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate into a bowl.

Step 2: Gradually add a small amount of water to the Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, carefully moulding it into a shape. Remember, it should hold its form without being too runny. If it becomes too liquid, simply add more Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate until you achieve the perfect consistency.

Step 3: Take some of the dough you created and place it into the bottom half of the plastic egg. Now, it's time to add the surprise item on top.

Step 4: Cover the surprise item with more dough.

Step 5: Now, it's time to work on the top half of the plastic egg. Fill this section with more Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate.

Step 6: Carefully put both halves of the plastic egg together, gently tightening them to secure the surprise within.

Step 7: Place your assembled egg in the freezer for 30 minutes. Freezing will help the egg maintain its shape and prevent any accidental eruptions before the big reveal.

Step 8: After 30 minutes, take the egg out of the freezer and carefully remove it from the plastic egg container.

Step 9: Drop your surprise-filled egg into a container of Acetic Acid 3% and watch in amazement as your egg erupts, revealing the hidden surprise item!
