sidewalk paint

Baby, it's hot outside. However, if you remember this post, then you might remember that I'm much more partial to the heat than the cold. :) The kids however... The only way they will even set foot outside is if there is promise of a Popsicle. Or a visit to the pool. However, today, I found their weak spots. It's called sidewalk paint. Completely washable and mess free. I mixed a scoop of corn starch with 1/2 cup water and added food coloring. They spent hours using this stuff. Hours! I love it when that happens!

So how much is a "scoop" of corn starch. Looks like super fun.

I just used a soup spoon from my flatware and heaped out a scoop... Fortunately for me, I don't think it needs to be very precise. :)
