D needed some outside time and I realized I don't do nearly as many "hands on" activities as I did when my oldest two were small. I thought finger painting would be a fun thing to do, but wasn't in the mood for a big inside mess and felt like we could use some sunshine anyway. So I looked for a homemade sidewalk chalk recipe and found this. The first time we did it we didn't add the baking soda. We just mixed it up and painted away.
The next day we had friends coming over, so we decided to try it again with the baking soda and vinegar. D & I had fun mixing all of the beautiful colors.
They had fun paining, but they loved the bubbling and fizzing they created by spraying their artwork with the vinegar. In fact it was so awesome that AP had to get involved.
A great way to keep them busy for over an hour!
