Sidewalk Paint Recipe



Combine

2 tablespoons of cornstarch
10 drops of food coloring
2 tablespoons of water

Ta da, sidewalk paint!

Now grab a foam brush and go to town. 



 Over the summer we have created many muffin tins of sidewalk paint. Aurora uses the brush to paint the traditional way for the first little bit, then flip - over the tray goes! Red swirls into yellow. Yellow collides with green. Purple and orange and blue mix and mingle and spread across the concrete.

Now she ditches the paintbrush and the finger painting begins. Our fingers get good and messy. Actually, all our body parts and clothing get good and messy! If there is “good, clean fun,” then Aurora and I have yet to discover it!
