Patriotic Sidewalk Painting

We decided to paint the sidewalk in front of our house for Independence Day!  

The kids have had some Crayola sidewalk paint, but it was running low on certain colors.  So, I decided to mix up some homemade sidewalk paint--super easy!  It is just equal parts cornstarch and water, with a little bit of food coloring drops to make the shades you want.  Actually, the homemade kind turns out nice and opaque--more like chalk consistency that sticks longer.  It was fun to paint with it!



The kids wanted me to paint with them, so I did this part.


Caeden painted an American flag.



Sylvia did a flag within a star.


And Annah chose to write a patriotic message.

We are surely blessed to live in a free nation!
