i promise i haven't forgotten about my blog. i've just been crazy busy. some days its a tough choice between outside work or sewing. if i am lucky i can get in both.
the other day, a told the kids that they were all going to take a square of the sidewalk and chalk it all up. time got away from him, and he forgot all about it. just so happened that i had been thinking about making sidewalk paint for the kids to try out on the same night. it was a HIT!!! esp with miss p. we found out that regular paint brushes work better. i got the cheap 50c, 1" brushes from the farm store. the foam brushes just soak up the color. for the most part everyone did a square, some did more. you can really tell that p loves to draw & paint. she did the most. she has asked me when i am going to make it again.
here is the recipe. ready? its pretty hard.
mix 1 c water with 1 c corn starch & some food coloring. then go have fun!
we also found out that you should stir your paint every once in a while otherwise the corn starch starts to seprerate & settle to the bottom.
p's designs
a's anchor and foreign language (anyone know what he wrote?)
z's large mouth bass
