Bubble Boos and Popping pumpkins

I'm going to copy and paste the directions for the popping pumpkins below. These were super fun, and we had such a great time making them. Very cheap and easy as well!
These are my photos but seriously, great activities for the little ones (and mom)


Bubbling Boo & Pumpkin Bombs Materials List
  • Baking soda
  • Corn starch
  • Vinegar
  • Zip seal bags
  • Orange food coloring for the pumpkin bombs
  • A marker
  • Toilet paper
Start by drawing pumpkin and ghost faces on the zip seal bags.  We used a permanent marker and sandwich size bags.  Larger bags will also work; you will just need more of the active ingredients.


Once the faces on the bags are dry you can either fill them all in advance with the vinegar or fill them outside as you go.  You want to fill each bag at least one third of the way but not more than half way.  Anywhere in between is perfect.  Mix in a bit of corn starch for color.   
you will also want to add orange food coloring to the pumpkin bags
For each bag you will need to make a baking soda bomb.  All you need to do is place baking soda in the middle of a square of toilet paper and them fold into a ball. (Don't add to the bags yet!)

You will want to let off one boo or pumpkin at a time.  Seal the bag almost all the way, leaving just enough room to place a baking soda bomb in.  Do not let the bomb go until you have sealed the bag all the way - 
Double check to make sure the zipper is 100% sealed before letting go

Then let go of the baking soda bomb, give the bag a quick shake, and set it down.  The bag will slowly fill until it POPS & explodes, sending colorful bubbling liquid flying
