Baking soda is a loose part that’s cheap, versatile, and probably already lurking in your kitchen, making it a no-brainer for open-ended play. Kids can scoop it, mix it, fizz it with vinegar, bake with it, pile it, sift it, dissolve it, or even scrub with it—unlocking sensory fun, chemical reactions, and messy experiments. It invites schema play, fine motor skills, and a dash of science without any fancy setup.

Just dump a heap of it into a tray or bowl and watch the magic unfold. It’s a simple ingredient that transforms into a playground of possibilities, sparking curiosity and hands-on discovery with zero pressure.
