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...
