Sidewalk Chalk Painting


Need an easy thing to do with the kids? Don’t want to go out to get “craft supplies”? Then this projects for you! Sidewalk chalk paint is an easy thing to make with supplies you probably already have on hand.

Sidewalk chalk recipe:
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ cup water
Food coloring
Old paint brushes
Directions: Mix first 3 ingredients. Use brushes.

See? Easy. How much food coloring depends on you. We only used 6 drops per color and for the orange and purple mixed according to directions on food coloring box.
The paint goes on watery but dries just like regular chalk. Provides at least an hour (more if you double the recipe) of fun. And perhaps your child(ren) will declare the day “THE BEST EVER!!” too. Enjoy!!
