Make Your Own Sidewalk Paint
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009
If you are looking for something fun and cheap to entertain the little ones, try making this sidewalk paint. I found this recipe at Easy Fun School:
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ cup cold water
6 to 8 drops of food coloring
Basically, add the water to the cornstarch until you reach the desired consistency. Then add the food coloring!
We are going to make ours in some old Cool Whip containers so that we have lids for storage. According to the website, if the paint dries out, just add more water. Also, since cornstarch is all natural, it won’t harm our plants.
I am going to make red, blue, and yellow so that the kid can mix the colors himself (free art lesson!). Also, since food coloring can stain, we’re going to be sure to wear old clothes. Have fun!
