I came up with the perfect summer activity for kids – it’s fun to make & super cheap

WITH little kids at home, you can never have too many games or toys lying around.

As the warm summer months approach and the kids need somewhere to place their energy, there’s no better activity than one that occurs outside.

The company called Sticky Fingers Cooking, which offers online interactive cooking classes for young children, has gained a following on their TikTok account @stickyfingers_cooking thanks to their creative ideas for keeping kids entertained.

The account recently shared a clip that offered a fun way to get your kids out playing in the sun—and it gained over one million views.

They took four cups and four sticks of chalk, all in different colors.

“Grate helped a stick of chalk into each,” they advised.

Next, add ¼ cup of flour to each cup.

Then add ¼ cup water to each and begin stirring.

Once you’ve achieved a thick consistency, add about ¼ cup of shaving cream to each.

All you need to do next is fill up four squirt bottles with the various colors.

Using skinny paint brushes, your kids can then draw all over the sidewalk.

Not only is the sidewalk painting activity entertaining, but making the paint itself is also a nice way for the kids to stay busy.

Because the mixture is made up of chalk, it’ll easily wash off the road with water or rain. Let your children hose it down themselves for some added fun!
