This DIY Sidewalk Chalk Paint recipe is super simple to create and makes a fun activity for the kids that only requires a few household ingredients.
Hello friends!
We had some fun this week playing with sidewalk chalk.
Sidewalk Chalk Paint is the perfect boredom buster for those lazy summer days!
How to make DIY Sidewalk Chalk Paint:
Too busy to make this right away?! Pin it for later! Pin this project to your favorite craft board on Pinterest and it’ll be waiting for you when you’re ready.
You only need a few ingredients for each paint colour:
1/4 cup of cornstarch
1/4 cup of water
food colouring
1. Mix the cornstarch, water and food colouring to create a variety of shades of paint.
We used this handy vegetable tray as our paint palette.
2. Once mixed be sure to stir the paint often as the cornstarch tends to settle to the bottom.
You can also add more water to thin the paint out and have it last a bit longer.
We took our paint outside and the boys had a great time painting the sidewalk, creating roads for the ants and drawing their names.
They had so much fun with this boredom buster activity!
I loved that they could get creative outside with this paint and seriously spent nearly an hour creating masterpieces all over our front driveway.
