While we’ve done plenty of regular mess-free painting on our sidewalks and fence, today Gracen asked if I’d draw her something to paint. While maybe not as open-ended as I’d usually aim for, I do find that sometimes she prefers having a jumping off point, so I drew an assortment of shapes on the ground using sidewalk chalk. The activity was actually perfect for her new found interest of colouring in the lines, and when the water dried, it left our cement pad covered in beautiful, watercolour-esque shapes. So simple, but she enjoyed so much that she’s already asked to do it again.

My kids LOVE to paint the sidewalk with water. I’ll have to try drawing the shapes for them. That’s pretty awesome :)
Thanks, Amanda! I bet your kiddos would love it. It’s very pretty once dry too! :)
