Fizzing Chalk Paint: Max will often ask me to make a batch of this paint at home. Mix washable watercolor paint (mine is from Lakeshore) with equal parts cornstarch, baking soda, and water. I only have red, blue, and yellow, and Max loves to make more colors by mixing. Then let them paint on the sidewalk with brushes. Bring a spray bottle filled with vinegar and the paintings will fizzle and bubble. Really cool. The paints eventually end up spilled on the floor and stepped on, but it is always a hit with my boys. And it comes right off with water.
Fall Tree Paintings. Cut out a tree shape and glue it on. Then give the kids fall colors on plates with q-tip paint brushes. I also had some foam brushes that we used for a different look. They can paint the trees to look like fall. ;-)
