Oh! We are so very, very grateful for sunshine. Springtime is such a celebration of being able to once again play outside with little effort. Throw on your shoes and out the door you go!
This TR Family loves to find ways to bring typical inside activity to the outside. Recently, we enjoyed sidewalk painting. This particular medium is created by 
mixing up ridiculously simple and cheap household ingredients- corn starch (1/4 cup), food coloring (your choice), and cold water (1/4 cup). We like to dump the paint into an old muffin tin to organize the colors and to ease transportation to the backyard.
Then let your kids paint anything they desire. And you can allow them to create their masterpieces on just about any surface. The paint colors will deepen as they dry. And clean up is provided by mother nature. One good rain and the paint washes away.
