Pinterest fun for the long weekend


The kids and I had some fun making our own chalk paint for the long weekend Monday. This was so much fun for them and only took me minutes to make.
Ingredients:
1 box of corn starch
2 1/2 cups of water
Assorted food colours (we used Wilton gels to make super bright paint)
Cupcake tin

Mix the cornstarch and water in large bowl or measure cup. It will be a thick consistency to start but once the cornstarch is mixed it will be easy.  

Pour mixture into muffin tin.  

Add colour. We just used a toothpick with a bit of gel on the end and mixed into cornstarch mixture.
 
Send the kidos outside for some painting fun

While we still have the gel colours out we are going to try to make water color paints.  Stay tuned!
