Here is what you will need for this Sidewalk Chalk Recipe…

- 3 Tblsp. corn starch
- 2 cups of water
- 5 squeeze bottles
- funnel
- washable kid’s paint in 5 different colors
Here’s how to make Puffy Sidewalk Chalk Paint…
- Mix the flour, salt, and corn starch
- Add water and mix until smooth
- Use the funnel to evenly distribute the mixture into the squeeze bottles – leave some space for paint colors
- Add a different color of paint to each bottle, close the lids and shake until the color is mixed throughout
- Take bottles out to the driveway or sidewalk
- Start creating
- Have your hose handy to wash the paint off after you are done – this is so much fun and you might even cool off on a hot day
- *The paint dries pretty quickly, but I did worry that some kids were going to come by at any second and get the wet form of our sidewalk chalk on the bottom of their shoes or bike tires. I made sure I was around to tell the kids to be careful of the wet paint or join in on the fun
With two cups salt and two of flour it’s really thick with only two cups of water. I am hoping double the water slowly and I can get some great paint.
