Messy painting fun!

 Today was too pretty to stay inside. So what did this mommy do? Made a HUGE batch of sidewalk paint. I could only find 3 colors of food color so I tried to be as creative as possible with colors.

 

I showed Peck how to do it and let him go. Soon, he was painting everything in site. He even decided to leave little hand prints all over our van (I wish I would have taken some pictures but I rinsed it off before I thought about it! boo.)

"Washing" his hair with paint

He even tried to get Zoe involved!

I think this was a total success. Peck had an absolute blast and even liked the bath afterward!

Smiles!!

Of course I would love to give you the exact recipe to the sidewalk paint but I don't measure. I just put some corn starch  in a bowl and added water until it mixed nice (I ended up using my hands. The spoon just wasn't cutting it!) and added a little flour. Since it's nothing but kitchen stuff, I'd say it probably wouldn't hurt if it were eaten. Peck tasted it and he's still kicking! haha.

I got the idea from this blog...

of course it was found on my favorite site in the world - PINTEREST! haha

Hope you have as much fun as we did !
