Erupting art
Introduce your kids to the old “Mentos and soda” explosion trick with this idea from Learn Play Imagine, which mixes basic ingredients together to create an eruption of color on canvas. Part of what’s cool about this activity is its unpredictability — you don’t know how your eruptions are going to spread out on the canvas, and the possibilities of what you could do with your abstract shapes after they dry are endless (monster faces, giant flowers, alien spaceships!).
