Need a quick summer craft activity that will keep your kids busy for hours? Try making (yes, we said making) your own chalk paint out of ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen. Thanks to Cindy at Skip to My Lou.
- 1 or 2 cups corn starchDepending on how many colors you want
- 1 to 2 cups water
- 1 box food coloring
- An old or disposable muffin tin
- Sponge paintbrushes
Place 2 tablespoons corn starch into one cup of the muffin tin.
Pour 2 tablespoons water on top of the corn starch.
Add 4 drops food coloring (any color) to the muffin tin. Stir well.
Repeat for each color that you'd like to make (Note: This would be a good time to teach your kids about mixing colors. They can make purple by mixing blue and red or make orange by mixing red and yellow, etc.)
Give each kid a foam brush and head outside to paint on the driveway, street or sidewalk.
