Fizzing sidewalk paint

Are you looking for something to keep the young kids busy this summer. Here is a great idea from Quirky momma for fizzing sidewalk paint.

To make your own fizzing sidewalk chalk you need:

• A container of baking soda
• 1/2 cup of cornstarch
• Warm (almost hot) Water
• Food coloring
• Vinegar in a spray bottle

Mix the dry ingredients and then add water stirring until its not too thick. I think we used about a cup.  This is a fast drying mixture so mix it in a container that you can easily re-seal.

Now for the fun!  Allow the kids to paint the sidewalk, let dry then spray the paint with a bottle of vinegar and watch the fizz appear.

To clean up, simply dump copious amounts of water over "art", once sidewalk is dry you can start again.

Thanks Quirky Momma for the info and pic!
