Here's a fun outdoor activity good for late summer days and early fall afternoons. Liquid sidewalk chalk. Mix corn starch and water until you get a watery-ooblek (about equal parts corn starch and water). Add a few drops of food coloring- be careful as too much will stain the ground. I use 1in 'house' paint brushes and sand pails to mix my chalk and hand it off to the awaiting artists. TIP: Using this chalk is a little like mystery ink. It does not look like much when it is wet. However, as it dries you will see bright, vibrant colors.
This picture is from the deck of my old preschool classroom, welcoming parents to our spring breakfast. Leading from the gate to the classroom were also paintings done by the preschoolers.
