Chalk Paint


Aunt Kathleen (the awesome one, of course) came over a couple of days ago, and brought with her a recipe for chalk paint.



It was such a smashing success, I had to share!

Chalk Paint Recipe
mix equal parts cornstarch and water (1/4 cup each for a larger batch)
stir together until cornstarch absorbs
consistency should be runny
poor into an ice tray or plastic containers, add some food coloring to create several different colors, and paint onto driveway with a paintbrush!
When dry, it turns into chalk (and washes off just like chalk!)

I love this! Lester has been really into drawing with chalk the last few weeks so we'll have to try it out! Thanks for sharing!
