My little artist!

I read on a blog the other day about a mom making homemade sidewalk chalk paint. I thought to my self, "Self, that looks fun and easy!" All you have to do is mix equal parts cornstarch and water and then add food coloring.


Jack getting started on his project.

Morgan working on his masterpiece.

Jaden in earnest concentration.

I just figured out that this may not be the best canvas. The slant was not helping keep the paint where they wanted it to be.

Jack and Jaden more content with the flatter surface.

This is good as it gets, when it comes to my artistic ability. Splatter paint.

As we painted Buzz entertained himself chasing bees.

Jack's foot after he helped me splatter paint. He loved it the messier the better.

My feet after splatter paint. Kinda wish I had taken off my shoes.

This boy loves his dog. And the dog likewise.

Morgan wanted to tell the neighbors HEY!

I would strongly suggest this. The boys had a blast. It was cheap and easy and kept them entertained for an hour. I think it would have gone on longer if the neighbors were able to come over and I had made more paint.
