Liquid Sidewalk Chalk

Its my new favorite thing to do. I found a tutorial here

Takes literally 2 minutes to make, and kept the kidlets busy for an hour and a half (and likely would have been longer if we hadn't spilled 2 of the four jars).

Here's what you will need:

1 cup water

1 cup cornstarch

food coloring

It doesnt get much easier.

You just mix up the water and the cornstarch.

Separate it into containers (like perhaps the zillions of baby food jars that you've kept cause they'll be good for something...or is that just me?), and then add the coloring as you wish.

ok, seriously, how cute are they?

And voila! You have fun in a jar.

When it first goes on, its more like water paint, but as it dries it becomes more vibrant. And once they got tired of painting the sidewalk, we created an entire garden of painted rocks. Fun!

and BEST of all. It washes off everything. Sidewalk, clothes, kidlets.
