Now that summer is here, it’s all about sidewalk chalk in our neighborhood and along with the traditional stick, chalk paint has been a much hankered after art supply. But rather than buying chalk paint, we’ve been getting a little extra mileage out of this activity by making our own. *Hint, this is a perfect recipe for budding cooks to try! Super easy, very inexpensive and practically no fail!
Things you’ll need:
Corn starch
Food coloring
Water
Muffin tray
Things to do:
1. Put 2-3 tablespoons of cornstarch in each section of the muffin tin and add enough water to make a thin paste.
2. Add a few drops of food coloring (this is a great time to experiment with color mixing!) and stir.
3. Paint away!
This is a great idea! my kids decorate the sidewalks till fall.And they just learned how to make slime.they have made so much,lol.now it is the thing to do when there is a sleepover
