My kids love sidewalk chalk in all it's forms.
They also love science.  Today, we decided to try combining the two to make exploding chalk!

  • Add several drops of food coloring to each bag before sealing them tightly.

Next Steps

  • In addition to the paint bags you will need baking soda bombs.

Making Baking Soda "Bombs"

  • Start with a toilet-paper-square.
  • Place 1-2 tablespoons of baking soda into the middle of the paper.  Then, tuck and fold the paper securely around the baking soda.

  • Repeat this process for each exploding chalk bomb that you anticipate making.  Then, repeat it a few more times (trust me;).

Exploding Chalk Play

Are you ready to start the fun?  
  • Quickly toss a prepped baking soda bomb into one of the zip-seal bags of vinegar-paint.
  • Then, very quickly seal the bag.  I found it helped to have the bag mostly sealed before adding the baking soda bomb.
  • Once sealed set the bag down and give the contents inside a good shake.
  • Then, step back and marvel at the beautiful, erupting art!
