Exploding Chalk Bag's

Your kids will be asking to do this again and again!

Here is what you need:

Vinegar

Corn Starch

Food Coloring

paper towel

Baking Soda

Zip Lock Bags

I added vinegar and corn starch to the bag and dropped the food coloring in to get the desired color. I did not do any measuring just estimated. Then I took a piece of paper towel and tore it to a smaller piece and added Baking Soda to the paper towel and wrapped it up. The paper towel with Baking Soda is sort of like your ammo- it causes the reaction.

Once outside I put the paper towel in the bag and zipped it closed and we watched the reaction take place. Some of the bags took some time since I did not measure the baking soda.

The pink bag took the longest to pop but it was quite a show to watch how huge the bag expanded.

We did this activity a few weeks ago but my daughter has been asking to do it again.

I also had it on old lumber and grass since I used food coloring and not a tempra paint. I have fear of it staining the sidewalk.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five words (sad, she, stay, this, with). The s

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week! I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea deodorant that I had never used prior. I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp??? Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening! :) I was dry and I did not stink! :) WOOT WOOT! I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future. :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E. :) Don't like roll on's?? They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid. :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them. However,
