DIY Sidewalk Chalk Paint

Chalk_Paint
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

1. Put 2-3 tablespoons of cornstarch in each section of the muffin tin and add enough water to make a thin paste.
