Do you have kids? Nephews? Nieces? Or are you a kid at heart? Looking for the perfect outdoor summer activity? I have your answer:
DIY Sidewalk Chalk Paint
The recipe for this chalk is so easy it is barely worth listing out. Basically, you want to combine 1 part water to 1 part cornstarch and then add a touch of food coloring. You can make batches of each color of chalk as big or small as you want, but as long as you keep the one-to-one ratio, you’ll be good to go.
What you need (per color):
1/4 Cornstarch
1/4 Cup Water
A few drops of food coloring
What to do:
In a plastic cup, dump in 1/4 cup cornstarch.
Next, add 1/4 cup water.
Add a few drops of food coloring and stir well again.
Repeat in a new cup for each color desired.
Paint your drive!
[note: The cornstarch will settle a bit as time passes so just be sure to stir up the paint before you use it each time]
HAVE FUN!
Does this cause ANTS?
Didn't for me…it really is like the same material as normal sidewalk chalk.
Wow, great idea.
This is fabulous! I'll make some for the boys!
