Super Easy Sidewalk Chalk Paint



Now that the weather is starting to turn, the folks at BHF thought this super easy sidewalk chalk paint would provide a fun way to spend the afternoon!

This popular recipe can be found on numerous sites, each with their own slight twist. We used the recipe and advice from a favorite parenting blog: www.theidearoom.net

"We made some SUPER easy Sidewalk Chalk Paint the other day when the summer “boredom” hit. We simply took 1/4 cup of cold water and mixed in a 1/4 cup of cornstarch. Then we added a **small** amount of food coloring to give it a little bit of color.

*Do not add a lot of food coloring…after washing the green paint off the sidewalk, I noticed it left a very light stain behind…so use food coloring at your own risk!*

Due to the rough nature of the concrete, we recommend using cheap paint paintbrushes rather than sponge brushes!
