July 11, 2011

Make homemade liquid sidewalk chalk for your little ones to paint with outside.

Approximate Time: 5 minutes

Supplies:

• 1 cup cornstarch
• 1 cup water
• food coloring
• old muffin tin

Instructions:

1. Mix together the cornstarch and water in a bowl.

2. Next divide it among the muffin tin holders.

3. Now add your food coloring to each one and stir. This is also an opportunity to teach your child how by mixing colors together you can make new colors. Combine red and yellow to make orange, blue and red to make purple, and blue and yellow to make green.

4. Grab a paintbrush and let your little ones paint away.

Make this cute hendominium to decorate your kitchen or to give as a gift. The sweet little stuffed fabric hens sit on burlap thread nests. There is even a space for rent. This is a page about making a muffin tin hendominium.

Tip: Muffin Tins For Sand Art

I use muffin tins for sand for sand art coloring on pictures. My class has enjoyed doing sand pictures instead of using crayons.
