It was another sunny afternoon today and as the boys napped, I wondered what to do with them outside to keep them busy and happy. I suddenly remembered seeing something on a kids' art show about homemade sidewalk paint. Very easy recipe - its just 1 part cornstarch to 1 part water with a little food colouring added in for colour. Its dries like chalk and washes away with the rain or with hosewater. It should also come off easily from clothes and skin.
I called Anindita to ask if her boys would like to join us in our arty adventure and much to our delight they said yes!
Here are the boys painting away at their "stations". I love the fact that Dita brought some old shirts of Christopher's to just put over the boys' jackets! They looked like little sumo wrestlers on their day off.

Look familiar anyone? The cups from Mark's 30th birthday party made excellent paint recepticles
