Sidewalk Fun!


A fun summer activity for the kids is to make your own Sidewalk Paint.

What you need:
Foam paint brushes (the cheap kind)
Liquid Food Coloring
Water
Cornstarch
Muffin tins or small plastic containers

Mix water and cornstarch until thin (the consistency of buttermilk).
Play with it until you get the right consistency. You don't wait it too thick and you don't want it water thin either.
Add food coloring.

Go outside and paint! Have fun!
