If you’re looking for an activity to enjoy with your kids, here’s a quick guide to making your own pumpkin elephant toothpaste:
1. Carve your pumpkin and hollow it out, ensuring the shell remains intact. Place a jar or beaker inside the pumpkin.
2. In a bowl, combine 1 cup of 6% hydrogen peroxide (I use 20 Volume Clear Developer liquid from Sally Beauty) , 2 tablespoons of dish soap, and a few drops of food coloring.
3. Carefully pour the mixture into the jar or beaker inside the pumpkin.
4. In a separate container, mix 2 packets of yeast with 6 tablespoons of warm water.
5. Pour the yeast mixture into the jar/beaker in the pumpkin and witness the magic unfold!
