Make Your Own Sidewalk Chalk Paint!

Ages 2+ 

Materials:

• Cornstarch 
• Water
• Food Coloring
• Cupcake tray or other small containers 
• Paintbrushes 

Make The Paint:

• In a bowl, mix your cornstarch and water in a 1:1 ratio (having at least 1 cup of this mixture will allow for you to create many colors!) 
• Pour your mixture into a container of your choosing: a cupcake tray is a great option since you can evenly pour your mixture right into the separate compartments (Teacher Teal used an ice cube tray!) 
•  Add in food coloring to create your color palette

Helpful Hint: Remember that red, blue, and yellow are primary colors. If you mix red + yellow you will get orange. Yellow + blue = green. Red + blue = Purple

• Have a blast mixing up your own special colors : stir it up well so the cornstarch and color is evenly distributed within the mixture! 
• This paint is ready to use RIGHT AWAY so head outside and color the world! 

NOTE: As your paint dries, the color will brighten!
