Homemade Sidewalk Paint

Here is a fun little concoction that combines two of my kids' favorite things: Painting and playing outside. I know they sell sidewalk paint at the store, but this costs almost nothing to make and you can choose your own colors.

Ingredients: (per color)

1/4 C cornstarch

1/4 C water

food coloring

Stir the water and cornstarch together until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. 

Add the desired amount of food coloring and stir.

Repeat for each color.

I used 4 oz baby food containers to store the paints and they were the perfect size. We used the small sponge brushes to paint the sidewalk.

I recommend smocks or painting clothes for this activity

These were such a big hit that I had neighborhood kids knocking on my door asking me to make them paint. That being said, you may want to make some extra paint. :)

These works of art came right off with just water

Have fun!
