Super Fun DIY Chalk Paint

This is a really quick and easy project to set up! My 3 year old had a lot of fun playing with chalk paint!
 I mixed corn starch and water, I just eye balled the amounts, not too watery, not to thick. If you let it sit, the corn starch will settle to the bottom, just mix it again and it's as good as new. I divided out the mixture into a muffin tin then added food coloring.
  I used both traditional liquid food coloring and gel food coloring. The Wilton gel food coloring is nice, a little bit goes a long way and the colors are so vibrant and rich! Mix each tin cup up with the colors you choose and your ready to play!

  We did the chalk painting on the concrete with paint brushes and fingers! The good news it's easy to clean up by just using a hose or waiting til it rains. It didn't make the grass starchy or anything either. Her clothes came out of the wash like new, no stains or corn starch goo.

 It was a really fun project and we'll do it again!
