Spray Paint Chalk June 11, 2012

Filed under: Crafts,Kids — admin @ 8:45 pm

I saw this really cool idea on Pinterest and figured my son would love the idea.  I was right.   The spray chalk idea came from Infarrantly Creative.  I got the spray bottles from Oriental Trading. I don’t think I added enough paint though because it mostly came out white, but we can always try it again.

Supplies:

  • 1 tsp. washable tempera paint
  • 1 cup of hot water
  • 1/2 cup of cornstarch
  • squirt of dishwashing liquid
  • 1 squirt bottle

1.   Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps.

2.   Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid.   Mix well.

3.   Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well.

After he got bored with that he started riding his bike.  I don’t know if you can see the paint on his face, but it comes right off.
