I recently came across this fun, easy DIY craft that would be a fun activity to do with your kids this Spring and Summer!🤩 You can paint all over your driveway, sidewalk, porch, etc. and it will wash right off afterwards🎨

This is a non-toxic, easy to create mixture that will keep your kiddo's busy for hours!!😉

Ingredients

4oz of Baking Soda🥤
1/4 cup of Cornstarch🌽
Hot Water💧
Food Coloring (The colors of your choice!)🌈
Vinegar⚪️

Recipe

This recipe is so easy and quick!! Your kids should be able to do it with minimal help!🥳

Step 1: Mix the dry ingredients (baking soda and cornstarch) together in a bowl!🥣

Step 2: Add in a little bit of water while continually stirring! It's important to do this in small increments so you can build up to the perfect texture😍

Step 3: Once you feel it is a good consistency (not too watery, or too thick), you can divide up the mixture into small containers depending on how many colors you want!🌈 A muffin pan is PERFECT for keeping all the paints together but in separate compartments!!🎛️

Step 4: Add in your food coloring to your mixtures, to get all the colors you want! Mix these in and you've got yourself the perfect sidewalk paint🤩

Play!

Now you've got yourself a non-toxic, cheap sidewalk paint!! Use brushes to paint your driveway or sidewalk in whatever designs your heart desires🥰

When your pictures are complete, put the brushes down and grab a spray bottle with vinegar in it! Spritz down the painted images, and watch the magic as your paint begins to fizz!💫

Clean Up

This paint is washable and will come right off the driveway (even after it dries) with a bucket of water or the hose to wash it all away!💧 It won't stain your fingers or clothes either, making it a perfect choice for messy kiddos😉
