They also love science. Today, we decided to try combining the two to make exploding chalk!
I was so excited to try this next play recipe, and it was every bit as cool as I had imagined. Are you ready to make chalk explode?
Exploding Sidewalk Chalk
What You Need:
Method
- Begin by combining 1 cup of corn starch with 1 cup of white vinegar in a large zip-seal bag.

- Mix until combined, repeating this process until the desired amount of "bag bombs" are prepped.
- 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!
