Water Colors!

So, Spring break has finally arrived! And what came with Spring break? ALOT of rainy days, accompanied by high fevers, head aches, tummy ows, and runny noses! Now you tell me, was that timing or what?!? As the flu bug that was going around started to wear down we had to think of a fun inside activity we could all be apart of. How do you say, Super fun and easy? oh yeah, Home made water colors...
Gather supplies *that are probably in your kitchen already! 5 points*
  1. 3 Tbsp Corn starch
  2. 3 Tbsp Baking Soda
  3. 3 Tbsp White Vinegar
  4. 1 1/2 Tsp Corn Syrup (I didn't have it so I made a simple Sugar syrup by using 2 parts sugar to 1 part water)
  5. food coloring

Combine all ingredients (except the food coloring) and stir. *Cool chemical reaction 5 points!* wait for fizzing to stop...
Separate into different containers. We used an egg carton (As you can see, it was a card board one...not the best idea, stick to Styrofoam) Baby food jars, ice cube tray, small tuperwares... And add color! *double cool for color mixing fun! 5 points!*
Let those babies dry over night (I know I know the suspense is killing you) Let your little one (s) go at it! *Two days worth of activities! FTW!!*
