DIY Sidewalk Paint

My preschooler LOVES to paint but I HATE the clean up that comes with the painting territory!!  She also thoroughly enjoys being outside.  I came across something recently that satisfies both her painting and outdoor obsessions...SIDEWALK PAINT!!!  And the best part about it is there is hardly any cleanup on my end.  That makes for one happy momma :-)  Here's how it works...
Gather your supplies.
  • Corn Starch
  • Water
  • Food Coloring
  • Small Bowl
  • Muffin Tin
  • Foam Paint Brushes
 Make a thin mixture with the corn starch and water.
 Pour mixture into a muffin tin and add food coloring.
 STIR!!
 Head outside and PAINT!!!
It's hard to tell in this picture but she really enjoyed splattering the paint all over the driveway...something new she was able to try since we were OUTSIDE!

And guess what!  It rained during her nap and washed it all away.  Thank you mother nature for cleaning up the mess for us!  Just so you know I found this "recipe" here.
