Make this fun and easy puffy sidewalk paint! Try making this 3-ingredient puffy sidewalk paint as an easy DIY project! It’s a perfect activity to get the family outdoors and spend some time being creative with your little artists.<\/p>\n My kids loved to play with chalk when they were younger and this activity is a fun spin on that!<\/p>\n Painting with squirt bottles is FUN!<\/strong><\/p>\n We used an easy-to-make mixture of water, flour, and shaving cream. The result was really nice and washable sidewalk paint that can be placed in squirt bottles<\/a> to paint with, just like traditional puffy paint. I bought my bottles online, but you could check out a store like Dollar Tree<\/a> for some cheaper options.<\/p>\n If you’d prefer, you can place paint in small bowls and use paintbrushes, or even a large muffin tin with different compartments would work nicely.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t 1<\/span><\/p>\n Inside a gallon-sized freezer bag, mix flour and water together so there are no clumps.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n 2<\/span><\/p>\n Add 10 drops of food coloring and roughly 1\/2 cup of shaving cream. Close the baggie and mix well using your hands on the outside of the bag.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n 3<\/span><\/p>\n Cut the end of the bag and pipe the mixture into the bottle. Don’t cut the end too large or it will be difficult to get it into the bottle.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n 4<\/span><\/p>\n Secure lid and squeeze onto the sidewalk to draw. Keep some toothpicks nearby in case the squirt bottles get plugged with a clump of flour. That happened to us, but it was easy to fix.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n My daughter and my nieces really enjoyed this easy and inexpensive activity back when they were younger, so I’m thrilled to share this washable puffy “chalk” paint again for anyone who has kiddos at home looking for easy entertaining ideas. Now all you need is a nice day and this activity kept them busy painting for a long time!<\/p>\n Try these other fun summer activities for kids (many are FREE)!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Make this fun and easy puffy sidewalk paint!
