Chalk Paints | Outdoor Activity
Show your kids that the world is their canvas with these simple chalk paints.
All you need is cornflour and food colouring to turn your driveway or patio into a multicoloured masterpiece!
Grab some brushes and old clothes (just in case things get a little messy) then get painting!
Please note, the colours of this chalk paint may not seem particularly bright when first laid down, but let them dry in the sun and you’ll see how vibrant they really are!
Let’s Make your very own chalk paint
You Will Need

How to make the chalk paint
1 Put two teaspoons of cornflour into each compartment of the muffin tin.
2 Add four teaspoons of water to each compartment.
3 Add a couple of drops of food colouring to each compartment. Then mix the cornflour, water and food colouring together.
4 Use paint brushes to apply the chalk paint to the driveway, flagstones or concrete! You could even paint a game of hopscotch, noughts and crosses, or a number game.
