We used this sidewalk chalk paint recipe. All you need is cornstarch, water and a bit of food colouring.
1. Mix up the paint using different colors.
2. Pour the paint into an ice cube tray and allow it to freeze completely.
3. Then just have the kids take it outside and watch it melt all over the sidewalk.
The boys played with different colour combinations and drip, dropped the paint all over the place. The chalk washes off of surfaces with just a bit of water sprayed onto it. This became a fun party of the activity for my guys!
This super fun and easy activity should give you about 15 minutes of peace and quiet. Fingers crossed.
