We are so excited about today’s post! I say we, because this was one we got the whole family involved with. We made DIY sidewalk paint shooters and had a blast play with them. We used the super fun Fruit Shoot® bottles after we had enjoyed drinking the fruit juice drink that was inside. My kids LOVE the new no added sugar flavors {Apple, Berry Burst, Orange, Strawberry and Wild Berry Grape} I’m also all about keeping hydrated with juice in the summer, especially when no sugar has been added to the drink. Win-win for moms and kids! #MadeforAdventures
We got to share our Fruit Shoot® drinks with the cousins and draw with chalk… then I decided to try making sidewalk paint and put it in the empty bottles.
After fun with chalk, came fun with sidewalk paint. The recipe is SO easy you won’t believe it… Get a paper and pencil ready… you need… 1. Corn Starch 2. Water 3. Food coloring.. and that’s it! Super easy right?
Put 1/4 c. + 2TBS corn starch in a bowl..
Add 1/4 c. water slowly and whisk until mixed
add food coloring until you get the color you want..
Pour into the bottles! Fruit Shoot® Juice drink bottles have re-sealable caps which is great when kids don’t drink it all in one sitting AND because I can pour in my paint and seal it up again.
Take your DIY sidewalk paint outside and let the kids have fun! It will wash off with the next rain, or you can hose off the sidewalk when finished painting.
