Messy Water Balloon's

We all know how much fun our kids can have with a water balloon fight...oh OK us adults too!  :)  Right?  :) Admit it!!   Well, how about messy water balloons?   I used cornstarch, water, and food coloring to create a colorful experience with water balloons for my kids.  First mix water and cornstarch together.  Make sure you do not create oobleck, when it becomes a liquid and a solid mixture.  Once you get the consistency you want put the mixture in separate bowls so you can make different colors. I added a lot of food coloring in so the colors would be bright.  Then I used a turkey baster adding the color mixture to the balloon.  After that I still added more water to the balloon so they would pop easier.  :)  The reason we added cornstarch is to ensure the food coloring does not stain the sidewalks.  :)  Then it becomes more chalk like when it dries.  Clean up is super...
