DIY Sidewalk Chalk Paint
Bring out your child’s inner Picasso with easy-to-make outside chalk paint! The best part? You need just three ingredients: Cornstarch, water, and gel food coloring. Mix the cornstarch and water up, divide it into separate containers (or a muffin tin), make your different colors, and it’s time to get creative! When your kids are done and you want to remove their masterpieces from your sidewalk or driveway, simply use a hose to wash it down. Ready to try it yourself?
