Things you need - balloons (small), water, corn starch, food coloring, squirt bottles, and two children in underwear - LOL. (We really DO dress our children, they just dont seem to stay that way! LOL)
Fill the squirt bottles with the street paint mixture, blow the balloons up and quickly attach the balloon to the squirt bottles (pinching tight so the air does not leak), squirt in the mixture and tie off the balloon.
Things we might do differently next time - have a lot of them already made and let the children do a few themselves. They really enjoyed the process, but were anxious to get to the balloon throwing.

ReplyDeleteLooks so fun! Do you have a link to your street paint recipe?
ReplyDeleteIts equal parts water + corn starch.....then add food coloring.
ReplyDeleteWow! I live in Japan and everything is neat and tidey. Then there is our house where the driveway is always brightly colored with hearts and smiley faces. I always wonder what they think of our crazy little house, with our crazy little people. Anywho... my crazy little people will love this. Marking this for spring!!!
ReplyDeleteJust ran across your site on pinterest & you have an instant fan!. Will be following.
ReplyDeletedid it wash away okay or did the food color stain the sidewalk?
ReplyDeleteMy husband just asked the same question as Anne. How did it clean up. He always sees me with stained fingers after using food coloring. GREAT idea! Can't wait for spring!
ReplyDeleteIt washed right off for us, but we have had reports of staining from some of our readers. Temporary staining, that is - not permanent. AK
DeleteHow much water to corn starch?
ReplyDeleteI think our daughters might be cosmic twins, they look SO MUCH alike! I can't wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME IDEA! I love all of your ideas, you must have the happiest kids ever! You have given me tons of inspiration to use for my daycare!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if water balloons would bust easier? Can't wait to give this a try!
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a litte 21 month old grandson. Can't wait to do this with him!
