Summer Fun A to Z ... Just one letter

I'm sooooo behind in everything after the sickness of the house.  That's why this post is coming Monday morning!

We only got to one letter of fun last week - E.  We had chosen 2 but just couldn't get anything else done.  So this week is extra fun with 3 letters!

Erupting snow - An idea I found on Pinterest that actually went well!  Mix together baking soda and shaving cream to make a cold, squishy material.  D and S enjoyed marching their animals and dinosaurs through it.  D covered a snow leopard with the snow so he could hide from the other animals.  Then we put vinegar in small bottles and squeezed it into the mixture.  It made tons of bubbles and created a slimy material.  This was a big hit and I promised the kids we'd do it again.








Exploding Sidewalk Chalk - This one didn't go as well as I had hoped.  The idea is to mix liquid water colors and vinegar in a baggie.  Then add baking soda, shake, and throw the baggie.  This mixture should cause a gas that forces the baggie open, spilling colored goo everywhere.  I don't think I added enough vinegar to the bags so there wasn't enough to spill out.  But the kids did enjoy shaking, throwing, and dumping out the bags!
