Sidewalk chalk paint

Photobucket

One of the kids favorite thing to do outside is paint with sidewalk chalk paint.  It's super easy and cheap to make, just mix a little cornstarch and food coloring into some water and start painting.  We've used various containers in the past to put the paint in, little containers tend to spill.  Jumbo muffin tins work great but then the kids have to all be in the same spot to get to the paint and it doesn't work so great. 

Anyway I got a coupon to Lakeshore Learning and decided to get a set of their spill proof paint cups to use.  With the coupon they only cost a dollar.  And I got a set of matching paint brushes, which makes it easier for the kids to not mix up which brush goes with which color.
