Side Walk Zoo

Today We Made Sidewalk Paint

For a Sidewalk Zoo

Here's our Sidewalk Chalk Paint Recipe:

First we made some sidewalk chalk paint

It is so easy!

You just mix 3 Tbs. cornstarch, 1/4 c. water

 and 3 drops food coloring.

It's better if it's a little runny.

Put the cornstarch in first, and then the water.

We used a paintbrush to mix it, so we had no clumps.

Here's our set up outside

Our paint, brushes and zoo animal stamps.

We stamped painted and blotted our sidewalk chalk paint!

Miss Sassy loved the stamps,

but truthfully it just looked like a big blob.

She had such a great time because she made the paint,

and loved seeing the colors dry on the cement.

I wish I would have done this as a teacher!

It would be so great to practice letters, words, or numbers.

Maybe in 15 years...
