Ice Chalk Painting

Wyokiddo and I enjoyed another great summer day with a little ice chalk painting.  I got the recipe from Reading Confetti and made it in an ice cube tray.  Wyokiddo seemed to enjoy the sensation of the ice in her hands and wanted to suck on the ice cube itself.  She also had some spreading the "paint" around with her brush.  She did well keeping the paint cube itself out of her mouth.  Unfortunately, I couldn't keep her hands out of her mouth, too.  Oh well, at least it's only water and cornstarch and a teeny bit of food coloring.

I made the ice chalk last night using 1 part cornstarch to 1 part water and poured my mix into ice cube trays.  I wanted a few different colors, so I added the food coloring right to the tray.  This wasn't a huge hit with Wyokiddo, but the chalk paint was easy enough to make.  I think it's a recipe we will keep on hand and try again when she's a little older!
