The Epoxy Resin Reaction: Make a hand keepsake while talking about chemical reactions
This experiment calls for mixing science and art to make a beautiful handprint keepsake.
Experimenting with resin allows you to talk through buoyancy and color mixtures with your child while allowing for artistic creativity. It’s also an opportunity to talk about a chemical reaction (what happens when we pour) and converting from a liquid to a solid.
Plus, you’re making a beautiful piece of art that gives you a keepsake of your child’s hand! What’s not to love about this experiment?
How to make the Epoxy Resin Reaction science experiment
Supplies you will need.
For this experiment, you will need the following:
Before you start
Be sure to be in a well-ventilated area when you pour the resin.
Instructions
Here is how to do this experiment with your child:
Step 1: Create the handprint mold
I cheated and bought a prepackaged handprint mold kit.
Once you have the mold you want, have your child gently push their hand into the mold to create a handprint. It should be deep enough to hold the resin and whatever decorations you want to add.
Step 2: Decorate
The fun part! This is where you and your child can get creative.
You can just use mica powder if you only want swirls of color in the handprint, or you can even use small, flat trinkets, sprinkles, glitter, or anything else that you choose.
If you choose to use something that’s not powdery like mica powder and glitter, you may want to pour a little bit of the resin mixture into the mold first so it looks uniform.
Step 3: Prepare the resin mixture
Please be sure to work with the resin mixture in a well-ventilated area (I chose to move my work surface outside).
Place two clean, empty cups down on the working surface. It can get messy, so be sure to put down wax paper or a towel you don’t mind getting resin on.
You will use equal parts resin and hardener and those liquids will go into their own respective cups. Pour the resin into one cup, notice how much you put in, and put that equal amount of hardener into the other clean cup.
Put out a third clean cup for the next step, which is mixing the resin and hardener together to make a mixture.
Step 4: Mix the resin and hardener
Once you have verified that you have equal parts resin and hardener in your two cups, it’s time to make your resin mixture!
Using your craft stick, pour all of the contents of each cup into the empty third cup.
Stir the mixture until you no longer see streaks in the cup; about 3-5 minutes.
Once it’s thoroughly mixed, start to pour the mixture into the handprint mold(s)!
Be sure to go very slowly when you’re pouring. When I started pouring mine, I went too quickly and added too much resin mixture, which is pretty tough to get out of the handprint mold once it’s in there (not impossible).
Let the mold cure for 24-48 hours in a well-ventilated area (we left it outside until night, then placed it in the garage for overnight curing).
Voila! You have a beautiful handprint keepsake and can show your child how the liquid resin mixture has turned into a solid!
The science behind the Epoxy Resin Reaction experiment
This experiment teaches:
What resin is
How resin is used in everyday life, liquids and solids, how it works.
This science experiment using epoxy resin displays the state change between a liquid and a solid while creating a fun keepsake of your child’s hand.
Resin works through a chemical reaction (called polymerization, but that’s a big word for small kids!). The two substances that come with a resin kit, the epoxy resin and the hardener, react with one another that bond to form a plastic material.
Once it’s formed and hardened, resin cannot go back to its liquid state!
I am not going to get super technical here, since we’re designing this experiment for kids to understand and enjoy. But do know that the science behind resin, although very technical, is very cool!
Epoxy resin is a compound that is made from several chemicals. It is cured by reaching and holding a certain amount of heat that allows it to convert from a liquid to a solid.
The chemicals that make up resin work together to form a bond that eventually sticks them all together and forms the solid resin we know.
Resin provides super strong adhesion and chemical resistance, to name a few traits (more on that below).
Did you know that epoxy resins are widely used, from technology innovations to construction to the food you buy from the shelves (not in the food, thankfully)?
Here are just a few areas in which epoxy resins are used:
- Renewable energy sources in the solar, wind, and new battery technologies use this technology to become more efficient and affordable
- Build and construction by improving the durability of structural parts to help increase the lifespan of buildings
- In food and drink cans to add a protective layer that separates it from the metal
Using epoxy resin with your child is a good opportunity to talk about liquids and solids, as well as state changes between the two.
Epoxy resin is initially a liquid, when we can add our decorative materials to it. It solidifies when it comes in contact with the proper amount of heat.
Once the resin has been solidified, it is impossible for it to revert back to its liquid state.

How To Make Plastic – Gelatin Bioplastic Science Project
There is a lot of talk in the media about needing to reduce our production and consumption of plastic. Plastics are causing global pollution issues and we need to address the issue now. When a topic like plastics is at the top of the news, I like to do some science experiments and activities with the kids to get hands on and explore the issue. In this case we have already successfully made milk plastic many times. It’s a favourite activity around here, but one thing we wondered, could we make a clear plastic? Turns out we can make plastic that is clear, using another kitchen staple, gelatin!

Plastics and Bioplastics
Plastics are a really hot topic of conversation in our neck of the woods. We had an amazing recycling program, but our government recently announced it is stopping the recycling of all plastics. It turns out the demand for recycled plastics is not there and it is cost prohibitive. At least that is what we are being told.
After years of living a routine of reducing and recycling, losing that recycling step is causing us to really stop and take a look at how we use plastics in our lives. It also raised some questions about why plastics are so bad and what could be done differently. We discovered there is a push towards bioplastics and it turns out we already did some scientific investigations into bioplastics with our milk plastic casein experiments.
But this time we wanted to try something different. We wanted something that looked a bit more like plastic… clear and shiny.
The answer was waiting in our pantry.
We’ve used gelatin in the past to explore edible polymers in the form of homemade gummies , which are always a huge hit. Just make sure not to let little ones try to eat these!
Stove Pot Spoon Whisk Gelatin packets (3) Water Food colouring Silicone molds (optional)
How to Make Plastic from Gelatin
Add 75mL of water and 3 gelatin packets to the pot. If desired add 2 or 3 drops of food colouring. Whisk together over medium low heat until completely mixed.
Once the mixture starts to steam and thicken a bit, remove it from the heat.
Using your spoon gently scrape the foamy layer off and discard. If you don’t remove all the foam now it will cause some cloudiness in your final plastic. This isn’t all bad and we left it on some batches and removed it on others. The better you are at removing the foam, the more clear your final plastic will be.
Shaping Gelatin Plastic
There are two different options for what you can do next.
You can pour your solution onto a container lid and leave it for about 45 minutes. After 45 minutes you will have a rubbery consistency material. You can cut it with cookie cutters, scissors, or a knife. You can shape it by hand. It’s neat to play with and I recommend doing this with at least one batch. We left ours on the lid because we wanted to see what would happen. Turns out as it cures into a hard plastic it twists and lifts creating neat shapes. It took about 2 days to cure completely and give us hard plastic.
The second option is to use silicone molds. Carefully spoon your liquid solution from the pot into your silicone molds. I found it was better to fill the molds and make them quite thick. If we only added a bit to make thinner pieces, they tended to twist and curl in the molds as they set. The issue with making them thick is that it takes much longer to harden and set. Our thickest pieces spent 4 to 5 days in the molds curing, then another 2 days hardening before they were completely cured. But you can get the coolest little plastic shapes!
Making Two Colour Bioplastic
While making some of our pieces in the molds I poured in our gelatin solution, let it set for about 5 minutes, then added a drop of a different colouring. This created some really pretty designs. If you do it while the solution is still really hot and liquid, it will mix more, the cooler the solution, the less it will mix in.
Troubleshooting
This plastic does tend to curl. Play with your consistency, humidity, and molds to see what reduces the curling for you. We found thicker pieces left in the molds curled the least. We also tried placing a book over our pieces to prevent curling. This also worked but did flatten our pieces a bit.
Notice our homemade Lego minifigs look like they are nodding and bowing! The thinner part of the neck caused some issues, plus I didn’t fill these molds all the way. I have some ideas we are going to test in future experiments to see if we can address the curling issue.
Cloudy plastic means you need to remove more of the foam from the top of your solution. You can also try not being as aggressive in your whisking of the mixture.
Not curing. Give it more time! This is not a fast experiment. It takes days, but we never once had any not cure nice and hard.
Understanding Gelatin Bioplastics Science
This project, along with our milk plastic experiment, create what is known as bioplastics and are created from biomass or organic matter. Bioplastics are different from most mass produced plastics that are created from fossil fuels.
Gelatin is created by breaking down collagen which is found in all animals where its function is to bind cells together. Collagen is a very long chain of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, that bonds to itself in a triple helix pattern.
Gelatin is long chains of hundreds of amino acids. At room temperature it is solid, but when you heat it up the bonds between the chains loosen, allowing them to slide and stretch apart. Gelatin also has a strong affinity for water. Hydrogen atoms that are attached to the side of the chains can bond with water molecules. When we heat up and mix our solution we are weakening the chains, then during the cooling process those hydrogen atoms form connections with the water molecules. This is called a hydrogen bond.
In our solution we have added a LOT of gelatin to a fairly small amount of water. All those water molecules bond with the hydrogen molecules, then the amino acid chain also starts to bond with itself, trapping those water molecules within it’s complex 3D structure. If we used more water, we would end up with more of a gummy candy consistency or even a jello consistency. But in this experiment all the water molecules are used up, so once it finishes curing we end up with a very hard plastic.

Breaking Down Bioplastics
When you are done with your creations, turn it into a science experiment to discover the best method for breaking down your bioplastic. Simply set out a bowl of water, a bowl of vinegar, and a bowl of saline solution (salt water). Set some of the pieces in each bowl and compare how they break down to find the best way.
These bioplastic creations will also break down in a regular compost system within 30 days.

100 DIY Resin Crafts Projects Ideas! (Beginner and up)
Hey friends! Welcome to Doodlecraft! I'm Natalie and I am a lover of resin crafts.
I've worked with Resin Crafts Blog for years and so if you do a quick google search for "resin crafts", chances are, you've seen a lot of my work.
There's a huge variety of resin products out there, so there are some things you should know.
Resin is magic. Okay, there's some science to it, but it basically is polymers that make a plastic.
There are different resins for different applications.
If it's your first time working with resin, I have a bunch of projects that are all really beginner friendly, simple projects and using different types of resin--and I've got step-by-step guides for all of them!
Story time:
What is the BEST Resin to use?
- For clear projects that are more than 1/4" thick use: EasyCast
- For quick projects that are opaque or white use: Fast Cast
- For a thick glossy finish on projects use: High Gloss Finish
- For pressing or molding things into resin clay use: Epoxy Sculpt Clay
Wear protective gear like a Respirator Mask, when working with resin and read the instructions thoroughly!
Work in a well ventilated area, it is smelly and has chemicals that should not be huffed. Resin can also cause skin irritation, so wear gloves.
But lots of resin is also food safe when cured, so read labels and make sure you are using your resin exactly as directed.
Other Supplies to Use with Resin:
- Alcohol Inks
- Mica Powders
- Silicone Molds
