We have come up with all sorts of fun ways to make it, too! Today, we combined a few kitchen items to make liquid chalk so that we could paint the town! Read on for the easy tutorial.
Fizzy Chalk Paint Recipe
Materials- Corn Starch
- Baking Soda
- Food Coloring
- Water
- Vinegar
- A Spray Bottle
- A muffin tin or cups/bowls
- Paint brushes
Method
- Mix roughly 1 part corn starch and 1 part baking soda together, using one container for each color of chalk that you wish to make.
- We used a muffin tin, which allowed us to easily mix a variety of colors.
- You could also use cups/bowls.
- Add a couple drops of food coloring to each container, and then slowly add water and mix until the desired consistency is reached.
- The less water you add the thicker the paint will be.
- Once mixed head outside with paint brushes and a spray bottle of vinegar, and the fun can begin!
Sidewalk Chalk Play
The girls began by creating beautiful works of art on the sidewalk using the paint brushes.
Rosie had a blast splattering beautiful rainbows of art all over the pavement.
Then, once she had used up all of the paint, I gave her a spray bottle of vinegar so that the fun could begin again!
She had a blast spraying her artwork to make it FIZZ!
Rosie played & played, creating fizzing works of art all over the pavement! We absolutely loved this activity and can't wait to do it again!
