Give kids "a ghostly scare" and make Halloween smoke bombs!  What could be more fun than a toy that explodes into colorful powder when thrown?  Rosie and Jewel love smoke bombs, and they loved the chalk bombs that we made not long ago.  Today, we put a fun twist on this activity and made ghost bombs.  Read on for the easy tutorial.

These smoking bombs are easy to make, and you only need a few materials.  Rosie and Jewel had so much fun with their boo bombs that we have already made more.  Are you ready to see how?

HOW TO MAKE GHOST BOMBS FOR KIDS

Materials
Method
  • Begin by hallowing out the desired amount of eggshells.  To do this gently tap a butter knife on the surface of the egg to create a hole in the shell.  
  • Then, pour the yolk into a bowl.  I saved eggshells as I made breakfast with this purpose in mind.

  • Rinse the shells under warm water with a bit of antibacterial soap, and then allow them to dry.
  • Once dry use a sharpie to draw ghost faces on the shells.

  • Then, fill them with corn starch.  You can also use baby powder.

  • How much powder you put into the eggs will effect how they smoke when thrown.  We filled them with varying amounts to create different ghostly effects.
  • Once the eggs are filled carefully seal the tops by placing tissue paper over the openings.  To do this cover one side of a tissue-paper-square with glue, and then gently press it over the egg opening glue-side down.
  • That's it! Then, it's time to PLAY!

A Few Tips:
  • I had Rosie and Jewel toss the smoke bombs out and not at their feet. That way they could enjoy the ghost smoke show without breathing it in. 
  • If you try this activity I recommend your children do the same, as it is not safe to inhale large amounts of powder.
  • If you don't feel like cutting tissue paper for this activity you can buy pre-cut squares.
