Get Creative with Chalk Paint!

You may have seen it in stores already - now not only can your toddler draw on your driveway, but they can paint, too! But you can also create your own less expensive "sidewalk paint," without paying the higher store prices but simply crushing up some regular sidewalk chalk, and mixing it in a contained with a cup or so of water. Give them a paintbrush, and they'll be busy for hours, creating masterful pieces (until Dad comes home and drives over it with the sedan, of course!). OR you can simply give them a container of plain water, if the other stuff is too messy (or they're too little), and a smaller toddler will have just as much fun with that!
