Homemade Sidewalk Chalk Paint

G with our sidewalk balloons

Yesterday we made homemade sidewalk chalk, or sidewalk paint really.  We used equal parts corn starch and water.  It makes a nice white liquid when mixed together.  We poured our mix into a number of Dixie cups and then used various food coloring to make different colors.  We also left one of the cups white.  We used foam paint brushes and had fun making creations in our driveway and on our sidewalk.  Enjoy!
