Labor Day Fun : DIY Sidewalk Chalk

INGREDIENTS

• 3 Cups of Corn Starch 
• 2-4 dashes food colouring, various colours
• 3 cups water, use more or less depending on desired consistency
• 
  Equipment:
• 4-6 plastic bowls, or a 6-cup muffin pan works great as a paint tray
• Paint brushes, preferably 1” or larger
• Food colouring
• This recipe can be made with smaller amounts too, using equal parts of corn starch and water. Using a large mixing bowl, add the water to the cornstarch and mix well until clumps are gone. Divide equal amounts into your separate bowls, add a few drops of food colouring to each bowl to create your colours, mixing well.While painting you’ll want to keep your colours looking vibrant, use your paint brush to give the paint a stir as the corn starch will settle on the bottom.The colours will look more brilliant as the paint dries. Works great on all types of sidewalks and driveways. Try painting some garden rocks too. Clean-up is a breeze, washes away easily with water, or let the rain take care of it. Non-toxic and safe for the gardens, it will actually help the soil retain moisture better!Storage: can bestored in jars with tight lids fora few days, shake well when ready to use again
