Exploding Chalk Bombs

Fizz, Boom, FUN!
This was a really fun experiment. A little bit of art and a little bit of science!

Here is what you need to make your own:

  • zip seal sandwich bag

  • cornstarch

  • liquid watercolor paint or food colors

  • vinegar

  • baking soda

Mix vinegar, liquid watercolor paint (or food coloring) and corn starch together in a ziplock bag (keep it liquid, no amounts measured). Pour baking soda onto a paper towel square and fold it up. Again, we didn't measure, but the more you use, the bigger the reaction will be when the active ingredients mix.

We didn't measure, but went hefty on the amount-  the more you use for each bag the bigger the reaction between the active ingredients, and the bigger the explosion - See more at: http://www.growingajeweledrose.com/2013/05/play-recipe-sidewalk-chalk.html#sthash.Pk6o0sFD.dpuf

When ready, add baking soda bomb into bag, seal immediately, shake and place on ground. The bags will slowly expand and POP! The burst will create beautiful sidewalk art!

Knit or crochet an 8 x 8” square.

Volunteers will join squares together to make soft, warm, colorful twin bed-sized blankets.



Please use soft acrylic yarns for non-allergenic properties and ease of care in washing/drying. Making the squares as consistent in size (8x8”) and weight (worsted yarn) as possible helps volunteers to join the squares quickly and easily into blankets.



Get creative: If you know how to knit and/or crochet and enjoy working with different stitches, or a combination of stitches and patterns, then please feel free to be creative with your squares, as long as the finished square measures 8x8”.



Visit the library for more details and take-home instructions.
