kids summer craft revisited {sidewalk paint}

 so....i started looking through my blog for kids crafts that we've done to see what would be fun to do this summer.
and that prompted me to make a new tab up there to put all the kids crafts in one spot.
{you'll have to click over if you're in a reader ;)}
i'm not promising that i found all of them...i've been blogging since 2007, but it's a start. :)

anyhoooooo.... i found the chalk paint we did and decided that would be perfect.

okay so this is a fan favorite around here.
it's super easy to whip up and you probably have all the stuff in your kitch.

you mix 1/4ish cup of cornstarch, 5-6 drops of food coloring, and water.
stir it until it gets the consistency you want.
i just had food coloring gel so i just gave each bowl one really big squirt. :)

i like to pour it in a muffin tin bc it's easy to deal with....not required obviously.

this is a great craft if you're like me and have a big age range of kiddos.
little one year old ruby loved it and so did my big ten year old avery boy.

love those little creative minds workin'.  :)

yes. it's messy.
but it's outside mess so it's no big thing.

and bonus, it all washes away in the rain and comes right out of clothes.

when you're done, tell your kids to go wash off in the spicket and your work here is done.
:)

i think crafts are such a fun way to make summer fun and create great memories with your kids. :)
