We love sidewalk chalk and have come up with all sorts of ways to make it over the years. With that said, this fizzy-pop chalk still remains a favorite among my kids. Read on for the easy recipe.
Fizzy-Pop Chalk
Materials
You will also need:
- A muffin tin (or several small bowls)
- Paint brushes
Method
- Begin by combining roughly equal parts of corn starch and water in a bowl or container, using one container for each color of chalk that you wish to make.
- We used a muffin tin so that we could easily mix a variety of colors.
- Add several drops of food coloring to each container/slot and stir until combined.
Playing with FIZZY-POP Chalk
Once outside and in the desired area have kids sprinkle Pop Rocks into the chalk.
As soon as the Pop Rocks hit the paint the colors will begin to fizzle, pop, & bang!
My kids were in awe of the fizzing, popping chalk & thought it was the coolest thing!
They played and played, making noisy works of art all over the pavement!
The effect of the Pop Rocks in the paint actually lasted for quite a while,too!
Note: Add more Pop Rocks as you play to get the fizzy-pop fun going again & again!
