Sidewalk Chalk

The other day, I took the girls outside to draw with sidewalk chalk on the driveway. Julie and Braelyn were outside using a new type of sidewalk chalk that you paint with. It was pretty neat.


Bella really got into it. She even painted her leg blue- it came off in the bathtub, right after this episode.



Here is the information for it... (Thanks Julie.) This environmentally friendly sidewalk paint takes the place of the traditional sidewalk chalk. Its also very, very inexpensive! You can make you standard shades of red, green ,yellow, and blue; or, mix and match to create other shades.

SUPPLIES:

¼ cup cornstarch
¼ cup cold water
6 to 8 drops of food coloring

DIRECTIONS:

1. Put cornstarch in a small plastic bowl and gradually stir in the cold water.
2. Add your desired food coloring and stir.
3. If the paint still feels too dry, just add a little more water until you get the consistency you prefer.
4. Repeat the process to create different colors.

This sidewalk paint washes off very easily and will not harm plumbing or plants … cornstarch is all natural and biodegradable.
