Homemade sidewalk chalk for kids


Whipping up a batch of sidewalk paint is not only easy, but it might just keep the kids busy long enough for you to get dinner ready as well. Have you ever sidewalk paint before?
If not, here is how to make it:

Mix equal parts water and corn starch {I used one cup of each} in a bowl and mix until the cornstarch is dissolved. Next, grab one of your old muffin tins and fill the muffin cups with about 1/4 cup of the corn starch and water mixture.

Add 2 drops of food coloring for lighter colors and 4-5 drops for darker colors. Walk the tin of sidewalk pint outside, hand your kiddos a few paint brushes… and let them have some fun. The chalk washes of easily when they are done.

Summer vacation is almost here. Are you ready? I know I am
