The infants in the Baby Bunny room made pictures using Fizzy Chalk. Fizzy Chalk is a fun sensory activity that can easily be made at home using basic household items.
Fizzy Chalk "Recipe"
- One box (1 lb or 454g) of baking soda
- 1/2 cup of cornstarch
- 1 cup of water (add more if needed)
- Food Coloring
1.Mix the dry ingredients (baking soda and cornstarch) together then slowly stir in the water. The mixture should be about the consistency of a thick pancake batter. Add more water if the mixture is too thick.
2. Pour about 1/4 cup of the mixture into each well of a lined muffin tin. Add 3-4 drops of your favorite color food coloring and stir. For a deeper shade, add more food coloring.
3. Place the chalk in a 300 degree oven for about an hour or allow to air dry overnight.
To paint with Fizzy Chalk, place the chalk on paper and add vinegar using either a small spray bottle, medicine dropper, or a turkey baster. The chalk will begin to fizz. Use your fingers to move the chalk around the paper and create colorful pictures. Enjoy!
) in addition to the paper we also painted the table, and our bodies…but we had FUN! Instead of cleaning up we went outside and got even more messy playing in MUD!!! We jumped, splashed and even rolled in the mud….Some friends were a little cautious of the mud and preferred the sprinkler instead, regardless we had all kinds of fun today!
