We are in the midst of a cool down.
Temperatures are in the low 90's. Yee- haw!
So taking advantage of the cooler temperatures and our shaded backyard, I made some sidewalk paint and let the kids get creative and messy on the patio.
Household items to make paint + paint brushes = an hour of laughs, smiles, and spending time together.
Recipe:1/4 c cornstartch
1/4 c water
food coloring
* tip: the only food coloring i had was the wilton food coloring i use for decorating cookies/cakes. let's just say our patio looks like a died easter egg right now. i am hoping it wears away. use regular food coloring. i think your sidewalks/driveways/patios will fair better. and it won't stress your husband out.
