Sidewalk Painting

Sidewalk Painting

First nice day of spring and we wanted to spend allllllll day outside. One of the activities I thought up on the spot was one that kept appearing on my Pinterest board-sidewalk paint. This easy paint was made out of cornstarch, water and food coloring. Both of the boys enjoyed it, although Ty enjoyed splatter painting and it was hard to make pictures on our 5 squares of sidewalk that connect the deck to the garage. We also tried the paint on some trees-which was fun but did not work that well.
