Washable Sidewalk Paint

I was excited about this project because it is made with 3 ingredients that we already have in the house.....takes very little time and effort.....and can involve kids of all ages! This time we involved the neighbor girl who also enjoyed the endeavor.

To make washable sidewalk paint you need cornstarch, cold water and food coloring. Yes, that is all!

You simply mix a 50/50 ratio of cornstarch and cold water together until smooth. Then you ad a FEW drops of coloring to make the paint! I used about 3/4c. cornstarch to 3/4 c. water to get enough paint for 4 children.

We then went out to the sidewalk and had at it. I have learned that the kids love to get messy and this is great because then it dries on their skin it is simply chalky so it comes right off!



Quick, easy, fun and make a long hot summer day quite enjoyable. Have fun!
