I have an new science & art experiment you can try…you can mix your own sidewalk chalk paint!
This three ingredient sidewalk chalk recipe is so easy you can make it yourself! And the making is half the fun!
Ingredients/Materials:
- corn starch
- water
- liquid food colouring
- small plastic bowls or a muffin tin (as many as colours you want to mix)
- fat paint brushes
*Yes these are the same ingredients for our Oobleck last week!
Instructions:
- Mix equal parts corn starch and water
- Stir up using paintbrush
- Add food coloring to desired vibrancy
Add, mix, test, and adjust accordingly. If you have a sludge of corn starch in the bottom of your paint cup just add more water and stir!
Given the simplicity of the ingredients and process this sidewalk chalk paint is best mixed and used immediately.
Now go create….
