Hi my crafty ladies! It’s Thursday, time for “Let’s Get Crafty” Did you miss me last week? Yes, I know…I forgot! These kids and all their friends are keeping me busy! And eating me out of house and home!<\/p>\n

So, today I did a fun and easy project with the little boys. All without even going to the store to buy any supplies! We made “Chalk Paint” I got the recipe from “Family Fun Online”<\/a> Love that site! Lots of great fun and simple project for the family.<\/p>\n

Here is the recipe…<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup Cornstarch…..1\/4 cup water…..few drops of food coloring…That’s it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now mix it up and get out your paintbrush and find yourself some concrete!<\/p>\n

(Don’t you love my cute little glass\u00a0bowls, .25 cents at a garage sale)<\/p>\n

Now of course, my boys wanted a road painted with the Chalk Paint…it’s all about cars around here. They really loved it. Actually I am typing up this post and they are still playing on the chalk road right out my window!<\/p>\n

(Notice the little bits of \u00a0Homemade Playdough still on my patio, maybe I will teach you that next time.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Looks like fun doesn’t it! Now of course you don’t have to paint a road. Paint whatever your little heart desires. Oh and you might have to make up a few batches. My boys have asked me for a few refills. Don’t worry about a mess either. Just take your hose a wash it away!<\/p>\n
