Fun Friday- Sidewalk Chalk Paint

We have been having a blast checking things off of our Summer List . Today we decided to get messy in the back yard with some homemade Sidewalk Chalk Paint. This was super easy, cheap, and lot's of fun!

Instead of making it with food coloring my husband had the awesome idea to use Kool Aid packets and it turned out great! Evelyn loved that it smelled good and it made fun colors!

What You Need

2 Tablespoons Cornstarch

2 Tablespoons water

1/2 packet of Kool Aid or 5 drops food coloring

(I made one of these recipes for each bowl/color we had)

Summer Fun Friday

It's definitely summer here in the Valley of death The Sun. 

I have lived in Arizona all my life and I still can not get use to it being 110. Please don't give me "it's a dry heat", it's just too hot!


Don't get me wrong though... I am excited for the summer and here's how I am making it awesome! I stole borrowed this idea from a fellow blogger that I have followed for the past few years. (here's her post)  It helps give the summer months a fun focus. I had a lot of fun making it and Evelyn helped too. This will definitely be even more fun when both the girls get older and they can help more.

Some of the activities on the list I am sure we will do multiple times throughout the summer. I put this on a large piece of paper right on my pantry door. It's easy to see and a great encouragement to do something new and fun everyday! Go ahead make a list for your family too!
