How much fun was drawing with sidewalk chalk as a kid? Using it could turn even the most bland suburban driveway into a colorful adventure world. Happy Hooligans shows us how to share that magic with our kids and take it to the next level with this DIY sidewalk paint that only needs 3 easy ingredients. Your kids will love it, and you’ll love how easy it is to wash away when it’s time for your driveway “exhibit” to close.

You’ll Need:

– A sectioned container (Happy Hooligans reused a prepackaged fruit tray)
– Cornstarch, 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons for each color you want
– Cold water, 1/4 cup per color
– Food coloring
– A small whisk

How To:

1. Add 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to each section of your container.
2. Add 1/4 cup of cold water to each section, a little at a time.
3. Whisk until the cornstarch has completely dissolved. You want to reach a consistency thick enough that the mixture drizzles from the whisk.
4. Add the food coloring, and stir well.

Paint away! Happy Hooligans also recommends adding traditional sidewalk chalk into the mix for a crazy, colorful effect. Will you give it a try? Have you ever painted your driveway or sidewalk before? What happy memories of sidewalk chalk do you have?
