Chalk Paint

When the sun peaks through and the air warms up, we take art outside! Try making this chalk paint at home and bring some joyful color to the day. Experiment by painting on different surfaces, making the chalk paint thicker or thinner, and perhaps display in a place that may bring a smile to people passing by. We'd love to see photos of your creations.

Step 1: Gather your ingredients: corn starch, food coloring, water, and jars.

Step 2: Put your cornstarch and food coloring into separate bowls.

Step 3: Add water and mix thoroughly (it can be as thick or thin as you like)

Step 4: Head outside and paint the sidewalk, driveway, or any hard surface.

Step 5: As the paint dries up, the colors will brighten.

Enjoy the day!
