DIY Sidewalk Chalk Paint

We all love using sidewalk chalk, but have you heard of using sidewalk paint? It’s easy to make, and just like its chalk counterpart, you can jut rinse it off with water once you’re finished. Here’s the recipe from About.com. Thanks to One Perfect Day Blog for the cute pic!

What You’ll Need:

• 1/2 Cup Water
• 1/2 Cup Cornstarch
• Approximately 12 Drops of Food Coloring (Adjusted until you get your desired color)
• Jar With Lid
• Paint brushes, Foam Brushes, and/or sponges

Instructions:

1. Measure the water, cornstarch, and food coloring and pour into a jar. Place the lid on the jar tightly, then shake jar until the paint is completely mixed.
2. Repeat #1 for every color you want to use and paint with.
3. The paint is now ready to use!
4. Use paint brushes and foam brushes to make roads, games, and even huge murals on your sidewalk. You can also make fun shapes using sponges.
5. If the paint gets a little too dry, simply add a little bit of water.
6. When you’re done playing, rinse off with water or wait until it rains again. It will wash off skin and clothes, too!
