Edited!

WOW.. I have had over 500 hits to this page today 6/2..so hello all..I see I was linked on several sites/homeschool sites and such.. very cool! If you look up you’ll see I posted a page for all our messy art endeavors! If you have a minute post a comment and then take a look around..welcome to my blog!!

We were supposed to have Thunderstorms all afternoon today..but that didn’t happen ( yet) so I decided after Daddy left for work we’d have some unplanned outside fun!

So what happens when you combine these items?

with these clean kids?

well you get a whole lot of FUN ( and a stick in the mud 2 and 4 year old..LOL)

First we tried in on paper like the person I heard about this from said to:

Right here is where Taejan and Ziah decided this was NOT for them…. Ziah didn’t like getting messy ( DIVA) and Taejan didn’t like the popping noise:

BUT Sir Declan of Moodyville LOVED it.. I mean LOVED it..he made my day with how much fun he had!!

and this is the point we decided to skip the paper!

Doing the “I LOVE THIS MOM” dance..rofl

Noah helped make a few of them, although he was slightly challenged by the whole..zip up the bag thing..LOL

I am the proud owner of a tie dye kid and driveway..LOL

on to the clean up..even the littles got involved!

“Poor” Declan is still blue even after a super long shower..LOL> but he wants to “do this experiment AGAIN momm”…LOL

So exactly what did we do? well here is the original instructions:

Cut a paper towel into fourths. Put one tablespoon of baking soda in the middle of each section and fold the paper around it. Put each “pillow” into its own plastic ziplock bag.

Add a few squirts of tempra paint (the more you add, the more intense the color, obviously), and then add 1/2 cup vinegar.

Seal bag and shake. Put bag on large piece of paper and let it explode, jump on it to make it explode…whatever. Then use paintbrushes, feet, hands, etc. to spread the paint around on the paper.

after the first few we skipped the paper towel and just loaded up the baggie with paint then loaded it with baking soda and dumped in the vinegar and closed the bag FAST..let it “rise” and JUMP.. The paint washes off so no worries about messes lasting!!!
