Today, we are sharing a new POPPING play time perfect for the forth of July!
Firecracker Goop Recipe
Materials- Corn starch
- Water
- Pop Rocks
- Red & blue food coloring
- A bin/container
Method
- Begin by adding the desired amount of cornstarch to a large bin or container.
- For point of reference, we used roughly 3 cups.
- Slowly begin to add water to the container and mix, slowly adding more water and mixing until the desired consistency is reached.
- 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!
- How cool is that? Rosie & Jewel couldn't wait to dive in!
Playing with Pop Rock Goop
- My kids could not wait to jump in and play with the popping, firecracker goop!
- They could feel the Pop Rocks erupting between their fingers as they played, causing uncontrollable giggles.
- And the colors swirled as they played to make beautiful, patriotic works of art!
- 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!
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
- Make fireworks in-a-jar.
- Make popping sidewalk paint.
- Make a sound volcano.
