  • How will you know when it's right?
  • You should be able to pick up the substance but then have it quickly turn to liquid in your hands.

  • This is when you know you have the right, goop consistency.

Making Firecracker Goop

  • Once the base goop recipe is mixed up it is time to add color & sound!
  • Have kids drop red and blue food coloring onto the goopy surface.
  • Then, have them sprinkle in Pop Rocks candy.

  • As soon as the Pop Rocks hit the surface of the goop the container will erupt with sound!

  • SO FUN!  The sound effects from the popping rocks lasted for several minutes, too!  Add more Pop Rocks as needed to get the fizzing, firecracker fun going again & again!

GOOP is amazing in that it acts as both a solid and a liquid at the same time.  Adding Pop Rocks to our GOOP play was so incredibly fun! We added 3 packs of red Pop Rocks throughout our play, and that was more than enough to keep the goop slime popping and cracking! 

 Extend the Fun

Note: Pop Rocks can be bought in a variety of colors and flavors on Amazon here.
