Chalk Paint Recipe

Summer is such a great time to get creative and messy in the great outdoors!
One weekend my children and I explored with cornstarch, water and tempera paint.

We mixed equal parts water and cornstarch, then added a blob of paint, stirred the mixture until we had a vibrant colour and smooth consistency.

The paints were beautiful to work with. My children decorated the sidewalk, rocks, made a hopscotch and played math games until the paint was gone.

Recipe:

1/2 cup of cornstarch
1/2 cup of water
Tbsp of tempera paint

Optional - a squirt of dish soap for a greater washability

Stir well and have fun!
