Drawing with sidewalk chalk has been an activity enjoyed by children for years. Expand on that idea with sidewalk paint to create a masterpiece. The idea gets even better when you can make sidewalk paint yourself for much less than what you would pay for it in a craft store. Read on to discover how easy it is to make your own sidewalk paint that is environmentally friendly and biodegradable.
Instructions
1. Place cornstarch in a small bowl or container. Clean margarine tubs work well as they can be covered.
2. Stir in cold water until cornstarch dissolves. The cornstarch thickens the sidewalk paint so that it sticks to the concrete surface that is being painted.
3. Add food coloring of choice. Start with 3 to 4 drops and increase the amount until you have the color you want.
4. Repeat the above steps to make different colors of sidewalk paint.
5. Use separate paintbrushes for each color of sidewalk paint you have made and let the little artists have a blast painting any concrete in sight.
6. Spray off sidewalk paint with a hose. The cornstarch in the paint makes it easy to wash off and is biodegradable
