Sidewalk Paint!

We have been enjoying some family time lately! Here is one of our favorite outdoor activities! I hope you enjoy it:0)



This is always a big hit with my kids. They could do this for hours. Just combine 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 cup water. and 6-8 drops of food coloring. Give them a bunch of paint brushes and turn them loose on the sidewalk. The paint dries to look just like a sidewalk chalk creation!
