I have seen this done several times and have always wanted to try it. This afternoon, my son and I finally did. The paints were beautiful and lots of fun.
Supplies:
Paintbrushes
Cornstarch
Water
Food Coloring
Measuring Cup
Cups/Bowls
1. First, I set out the cups. I had my son pour ½ cup of cornstarch and ½ cup of water into each cup.
2. Next, he poured generous amounts of food coloring into each cup and stirred.
3.Finally, it was time to paint! It looked awesome once it started to dry. I couldn’t believe we made it!
I hope you try this, it is always good to find something new to add to “outside” time.
I have never tried this yet but I am certainly keeping it on my list of to dos!
ReplyDeleteHow well did it wash off?
ReplyDeleteI hope you do Deborah! It washed of using a lot more water than you would use with sidewalk chalk.Next time-I might use dish liquid too.
ReplyDeleteI have to say the first few pictures of him adding the corn starch reminded me of the flour party we had at my house! Good times!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant post, this is a great idea.
