Eli and cousin Anna had a great time “painting the porch”.
One of Eli’s favorite new summer activities is what he calls painting the porch. I found this recipe for Sidewalk Chalk Paint on Pintrest. It is so simple you must try it with your kids. 😉 I have also found that it keeps kids occupied for a long time!
Eli was in awe of the paint.
We have been making sidewalk chalk paint about once a week and usually 1/2 the original recipe and make it as follows. Combine: 1/2 c. cornstarch, 1/2 c. water, and food coloring. (I usually split the cornstarch/water mix in two cups so that Eli has 2 colors to paint with.)
Yeah mom this chalk paint rocks.
While the kids painted the porch I had a lovely time writing a letter to a friend and reading a book.

Sidewalk chalk paint was a huge hit at our house. What a great way to bless the little people in your life!
