DIY Summer Fun: Make Your Own Sidewalk Chalk Paint

By Jamie Clark, MK Roanoke Publisher June 17, 2014
For those of you that know me and have been following the crafts I share on Daytime Blue Ridge, I promise it's going to be two things: easy and inexpensive. This idea for Sidewalk Paint I found on Pinterest {because you should also know by now I don't actually have any original ideas of my own} is both of those things, plus incredibly fun for all ages. {My 9 and 7 year old were so sad when it rained and washed their sidewalk creations away they immediately asked me to make more to do it all again and since it kept them having fun, outdoors, and not fighting, I was happy to oblige!}


DIY Sidewalk Chalk Paint

3 easy steps:
  1. Mix 1 cup water with 1 cup corn starch
  2. Add food coloring 
  3. Grab some paint brushes and head outside to paint. When the paint dries it looks just like regular sidewalk chalk!
