Sidewalk paint

As some of you may know i am a Pinterest junkie. Recipes,craft ideas you name it. Recently I have been pinning summer ideas to keep the kids entertained this summer.  I found a pin for homemade sidewalk paint.  We are big fans of sidewalk chalk so I thought we would give this one a try. 

The recipe was simple and cheap one part cornstarch to one part water. Mix together and pour into cups (they used a muffin tin but as my muffin tin is used for cupcakes I decided to use an old ice cube tray which worked nicely).  Next you add food coloring to the cups. Then paint. 

The colors go on wet and dry looking like brightly colored sidewalk chalk. We loved it and the kids had a great time painting!  Here are pics of some of our work. We even painted our big rock.
