DIY Sidewalk Chalk Puffy Paint

BY Morgan Tracy
Reading Time: 3 min

We love sidewalk chalk because it’s a fun activity for kids (and adults) of all ages to do outside. This DIY sidewalk chalk puffy paint only requires a few materials and it’s such a clever spin on the traditional store-bought sidewalk chalk. Kids will love painting with this sidewalk paint this summer!

Materials

Materials for DIY Sidewalk Chalk Puffy Paint

How to

Step 1: Mix 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of water, and 1 tablespoon of dish soap. Mix well until all clumps are gone. 

Step 2: Using a cheese grater, grate the sidewalk chalk on the finest setting in the color of your choice. We did orange, yellow, pink and blue!

We used between a 1/2 to 1 full sidewalk chalk piece. Depending on how bright you want the color to be you can mix in more if needed. You can also reuse old chalk pieces that are small!

Step 2 DIY Sidewalk Chalk Puffy Paint

Step 3: Mix well to combine the color. Add more grated sidewalk chalk in if the color is not bright enough!

Step 4: Using a funnel and pour the finished DIY sidewalk chalk puffy paint into a squeeze bottle and you are all ready to go outside and play!

Now go outside and make a masterpiece on your driveway with this DIY sidewalk chalk puffy paint!

How long does the DIY sidewalk chalk puffy paint last?

This paint will need to be used the same day and cannot be stored overnight. The water and flour will start to separate and go bad after that. We found using small squeeze bottles were easy to use in a day’s activity.

Clean-up Tips

Clean-up time! When you are finished, simply spray it down with a garden hose on the highest pressure setting. The dish soap should help make the clean-up easier. We recommend you spray while the paint is still wet and do not let it dry in the sun. If this happens, get a brush broom to help scrub some of the paint off while spraying with water.

About the Creator!

Hi! My name Olya, I’m originally from Russia but have been living in the US for 9 years. Now we live near the ocean in Florida, which has been my dream from childhood.

I have 2 beautiful daughters (5) and (2), whom I love like crazy 😜

My passion has always been to take various creative photos, it brings me so much joy. I believe that all people should be engaged in what brings them joy.

  12. I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you design this website yourself
    or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz answer back as I’m looking to create my own blog
    and would like to find out where u got this from. kudos

  16. My coder is trying to convince me to move
    to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.

    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on several websites for about
    a year and am worried about switching to another platform.
    I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress
    content into it? Any kind of help would be greatly
    appreciated!

    my mission.

  25. Hi there, I do believe your website might be having browser compatibility
    problems. When I look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine however,
    when opening in I.E., it has some overlapping issues.
    I simply wanted to give you a quick heads up! Aside from that,
    excellent blog!

  27. Heya i’m for the first time here. I came across this
    board and I find It really useful & it helped me out much.
    I hope to give something back and aid others like you helped me.

  29. Admiring the commitment you put into your site and in depth information you present.
    It’s great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same unwanted rehashed
    material. Fantastic read! I’ve saved your site and I’m adding your RSS
    feeds to my Google account.

  30. Hey superb blog! Does running a blog like this require a great deal
    of work? I’ve no expertise in programming however I
    was hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyway, if you have any suggestions
    or tips for new blog owners please share. I know this
    is off subject nevertheless I just needed to ask. Thank
    you!

  31. Having read this I believed it was really informative.
    I appreciate you taking the time and energy to put this article together.
    I once again find myself spending a significant amount of time both reading

  32. I’m not that much of a online reader to be honest but your sites really nice,
    keep it up! I’ll go ahead and bookmark your website to come back later.
    Many thanks

  34. I’ve been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like
    yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be a lot
    more useful than ever before.

  36. Aw, this was a very nice post. Taking the time and actual effort
    to generate a superb article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a whole lot and never seem to get nearly anything done.

  39. Please let me know if you’re looking for a
    article writer for your site. You have some really great articles
    and I believe I would be a good asset. If you ever want
    to take some of the load off, I’d absolutely love to write
    some articles for your blog in exchange for
    a link back to mine. Please shoot me an e-mail if interested.

    Many thanks!

  43. My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less.
    I’ve been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about a year and am concerned about
    switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things

    side effect , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.
    Thanks https://m.sagame666.com/

  64. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either
    authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it
    is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help stop content from being ripped off?
    I’d definitely appreciate it.

  68. Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year
    old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell
    to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched
    her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

  70. The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and
    tested to see if it can survive a 25 foot
    drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is
    now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but
    I had to share it with someone!

  71. Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and

    her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely
