Amy's recipe was followed for the most part.  Since I make my own lye soap, I also make our laundry detergent.  It is about the same consistency as shampoo.  My laundry soap is crazy inexpensive so it replaced the shampoo in Amy's recipe.  I tried one batch with the corn starch and one batch without it.  Also, some of the paint was left plain so the kiddos could mix their own colors.

Lois kept evaluating whether or not the paint was edible!
When they finished painting, we turned on the sprinkler.  The paint washed right off the sidewalk as well as the sweet little fingers and toes!  If you are looking for a fun outside activity, we recommend DIY Washable Sidewalk Paint from Marvelous Mommy!

Remember that today is the Kidding Around Link Party at Inspiration Café!
