Homemade sidewalk paint

I love it when an activity devised for Rylan (1) ends up being a crowd pleaser for the big kids too. Kenzie kept asking me to paint on this day, so I finally obliged her with this craft activity I'd "earmarked" as a Rylan-pleaser.

Homemade sidewalk chalk paint recipe:
2 tbs. water
2 tbs. cornstarch
4 drops food coloring

Mix different colors in a muffin tin. & Be on the ready with refill ingredients. This was a big hit.

Here's how it works!
Grab a child in your life and let them dictate what you all will do. Work how you work so they can see what you do and how you do it. If it's on the computer, give them the mouse to color something in or if your medium of choice is paint, have them paint. Just be creative!! You can see what I do with one of my styles here. Enjoy your time and just have fun! Participation is open to all.
