Crack the top of an egg gently on a hard surface, like a countertop or in your frying pan.
Pick off the cracked eggshell to make a hole in the top of the egg.
Empty the egg into your frying pan, cook, and enjoy!Wash and dry the eggshell carefully. (Read some helpful tips below!)
Step 3: Mix the chalk and baby powder
Place a small piece of coloured chalk inside a small Ziploc bag.
Use the back of a spoon or a rolling pin to crush the chalk into fine powder.You can also grate the chalk over a bowl.
Add about 2 Tablespoons of baby powder to a bowl.
Pour in the chalk so there's a 1 to 1 ratio of baby powder and chalk.Adjust the amount of either ingredient so they're roughly equal. It's okay if there's more baby powder than chalk powder.
Stir together until the powders are well combined.
Step 4: Make your smoke bomb!
Spoon the smoke bomb mixture into your dry eggshell until it's about half full. You can roll a piece of paper into a funnel if you have trouble getting the powder into the eggshell.
Make more smoke bombs and store them in an egg carton.
Your homemade smoke bombs are complete -- now have some fun with them outside!To use your smoke bomb, throw it or drop it from a good height with the open side up.
As the smoke bomb lands it will create a large explosion of coloured "smoke".
Now watch as the powder drifts into the air creating a bigger cloud of smoke!
*** CAUTION!! ***
Baby powder is not safe to breathe. Do not breathe in the clouds of smoke made by these smoke bombs.Make sure you throw your smoke bomb at the ground or another hard surface, like a brick wall. DO NOT throw the smoke bomb indoors, at people, or at animals. If the smoke bomb falls near you, move away until you can no longer smell the baby powder.
