Coloring Paint

Sidewalk Chalk

	3/4 cup warm water
	Toilet tissue tubes
	1-1/2 cups Plaster of Paris
	2-3 tablespoons Powdered Tempra Paints
	Duct Tape
	Wax paper
	Container for Mixing

Colors

Cover one end of tissue tube with duct tape. Place a loosely rolled piece of wax paper into the tube to create a liner to keep the plaster from sticking to the tube.

Pour water into mixing container, then sprinkle plaster a little at at time into the water until plaster no longer dissolves (approx. 1-1/2 cups). Stir thoroughly. Mix in 2-3 tbsp. tempra paint.

Place tubes sealed end down on a flat surface. Pour plaster mix in. Tap side of tube to release aid bubbles. Let dry 1-2 days, pull off mold and have fun drawing!

Be sure to rinse container and spoon outside or in a container of water to avoid clogging indoor sink drains.

Washable Window Paint

	Tempera Paints (powered or premixed)
	Clear Dishwashing Liquid

Mix powdered paint with dish soap until they resemble house paint. Or mix just a little dish soap into premixed paints. Line the window sash with masking tape and be sure to spread newspaper around to protect the area. To erase paint or touch up mistakes, just wipe paint away with a dry paper towel.
