Chalk Paint Recipe For Summer Fun

School has ended, summer is here, and I am ready for long days outside in the sun with the kids. One thing we have really enjoyed while everyone has been staying home is sidewalk chalk. We’ve gone through several boxes at my house. I know we aren’t the only ones who are enjoying sidewalk chalk, because it’s getting harder and harder to find in the stores. That’s okay, though, because today I have a recipe for sidewalk chalk paint that is super easy to make with ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.

Sidewalk Chalk Paint Recipe

To make sidewalk chalk paint, all you need is water, cornstarch, and food coloring. You will also want cheap paintbrushes or squeeze bottles for the painting.

Simply mix equal parts cornstarch to water and a few drops of food coloring.

That’s it! Instant summer fun.

It’s completely safe, too, because it’s just cornstarch.

When your kids are finished playing, you can let them rinse the color away with the garden hose.

About Jessica

Jessica Sleepless Mom Welcome sleepless moms! I haven’t had a full nights rest in over 2 years. Why, you ask? Because like you, juggling a toddler and a baby, working, and finding time for myself has left me sleepless, yet full of joy.

The inspiration for my blog came from tirelessly searching online for the answers new moms have, just to find out there is no right answer. My hope and vision is to create a community for moms to comment and share real life stories with one another when Google just isn’t cutting it. Whether you have specific questions or just want to comment and relate, this is your space to ask your fellow moms advice and know you’re not the only one that screws up from time to time.

I have assembled a well-rounded team that’s here to share their struggles and successes with you, as well as offer support in any way possible. This is an interactive site and we are here to cater to your mom needs. Please feel free to contact our team members with new topics you want us to tackle or even simple questions about motherhood. That’s what we are here for….
