Theory vs. Reality

The theory was make sidewalk chalk paint in red, yellow and blue and mix while painting to see what happens.

The reality was a fun morning playing and squirting sidewalk chalk paint and not worrying about what happens when you mix red and yellow. (I saw the idea for using the squirters, which we already had, on this site)


"Mom can I paint with my feet?" (yes baby, absolutely yes)

Even Atticus had fun! He loves feeling different textures, so this was right up his alley.

We even made baby footprints.

Then Atticus decided to dive in.

All the way!

(Sidewalk chalk is equal parts water and cornstarch with a little food coloring. I wasn't too worried about Atticus getting it in his mouth.)
Look! Clouds! Not that it rained, but hey, beggars can't be choosers.

We will have fun doing this again! It's a cheap, fun activity. And probably washes off pretty quickly places where it rains.
