Make this fun spray chalk with your kids! Super easy too.
Hi 30 Days fans! I am Beckie from Infarrantly Creative. I am a think-outside-the-box crafter and DIY’er and today I am here to show you a summer fun idea to do with your kidlets. I love chalk. It is so fun to watch my kids make designs on our driveway. But it is sooooo messy, isn’t it? Besides the guaranteed bath after chalk time you also have to do a load of laundry. Well here is a pretty mess-free solution to your child’s creativity. Spray Chalk!
Here’s how you make it —
Spray Chalk
Chalk Spray Supplies:
1 tsp. washable tempura paint
1 cup of hot water
1/2 cup of cornstarch
squirt of dishwashing liquid
1 squirt bottle
1. Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps.
2. Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid. Mix well.
3. Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. Watch your kids enjoy making designs and pictures on your driveway. I always spray my driveway down when we are done. After you let your spray sit a while it will separate. Shake it really well before you use it each time.

I have made a waterfall for my grand children and was wondering if you would like me to send a photo for your website.. Its made from old milk cartons, plastic tubing and bits and pieces.
Kind regards,
Ron Turner

October 1, 2012 at 11:55 amThis was Great idea, but did not work at all. There was way too much cornstarch so it was very very thick! What a bummer.
Erica says
August 17, 2012 at 12:23 pmI made the chalk spray and it turned out beautifully, but it does not come off the concrete so easily. Will i in time come off or do you have to use a special cleaner? I used my hose and a hard bristle broom and it didn’t come off. ?????

June 16, 2012 at 3:18 pmThe kids and I were a bit disappointed with this project… the sprayers, I guess were too cheap…. or clogged? not sure. and we used crayola washable paints and it needed way more than a tsp. :)
paula Fogle says
May 9, 2012 at 11:25 amDid I take a wrong turn when making the spray chalk because mine was super thick. I added about another 1 1/2 cups, but it still wasn’t a consistency that would work in a spray bottle. Help!

June 24, 2011 at 12:02 pmThe chalk paint looks fun! I think cornstarch mixed with COLD water does not clump. Maybe using cold water would make it easier??
