DIY Sidewalk Chalk

Here's a quick and easy idea for "bored" kids....DIY sidewalk chalk.

All that you need is cornstarch and water.

I mixed 2 cups of cornstarch with 2 cups of water until I got a thin enough consistency to paint with.

If you don't add enough water, then you'll end up with Oobleck.....

 After I mixed a big bowl of the cornstarch and water, I divided it evenly

and added the food coloring.

My colors are not really bright because I was almost out of food coloring.

 Then, we just grabbed a bunch of brushes and started to decorate the driveway.

It washes off a lot easier than regular sidewalk chalk!
