Rainbow Puddles




Pin It


We've been in an extreme drought for most of the summer and so today when we had consistent rain for a few hours, we took full advantage of it by not only just playing in it, but also making...


RAINBOW PUDDLES!


I mixed powdered tempura paint and sugar together in spice shakers to make the "puddle paint." I did this to save a bit of money so I wouldn't have to use so much powder. You can also mix it with salt, flour, or cornstarch. I only used sugar because it was right next to me on the counter.  If you do not have powdered tempura paint, you could also use crushed chalk, or even koolaid!





by then the sun was shining again and we went to making the puddles around our yard beautiful!

  3. Super cool! I've never seen this before! I don't have any powdered paint but maybe we can try it with ground up chalk--we're getting lots of rain tomorrow so this is perfect!

  5. What a fun idea! We made similar paint just recently with cornstarch and food coloring. I think the boys would love a dry paint they could shake on in the rain. Can't wait to try this one.

  7. Nice one. We have tried drawing on post rain floor with wet chalk... Lots of left over too short to use chalk. We should try your idea
