Make your own homemade sidewalk chalk paint for hours of creative outdoor play for kids.
Today I’m sharing a recipe for homemade sidewalk chalk paint, just in time for warm weather and lots of time spent outside.
These are the ingredients I used:
Supplies Needed
- 1 Box (16 ounces) Cornstarch
- 2 Cups Water
- Food Coloring
- Muffin Tin or Divided Tray
- Paint Brushes
Instructions
Step 1: Mix cornstarch and water in a big bowl until smooth.
Step 2: Pour mixture into 12 muffin cups, then add food dye to make as many different colors as you desire. Stir until the dye is evenly incorporated. And it’s more fun if you add lots of dye because your paint will be vibrant and beautiful.
Then let your kids go to town painting the sidewalk and driveway! It comes right off, was easy and inexpensive to make and kept my kiddos entertained for a long, long time. I’d call that a win!
Comments & Reviews
Do you think that gel food colors would produce brighter colors, or cause damage? Either way I am excited to try this out!
can you pls add the original pin from pinterest whenever you make the results? its hard to trace them back in pinterest. thanks
amramazon280,
Thanks for the suggestion. I will do that from now on!
I bought “spray” sidewalk chalk. You just add water to the spray bottles. Do you think this would work in the bottles or is it too thick?
If it’s too thick, you could always just water it down a little more.
