How To Make Homemade Spray Chalk

Homemade chalk spray is relatively easy to make,  is washable and safe to use. You will need the following materials:

Spray Bottles
Corn Starch
Baking Soda
Food coloring, tempura paint or washable watercolors
Stirring stick or butter knife
Optional: squirt bottles

Instructions:

1. Fill the spray (squirt) bottles a third of the way with a mixture of corn start and baking soda with equal parts of each.
2. Add coloring (food coloring, tempura paint or washable color). You can add a few drops at first and then add more if you desire a deeper color.
3. Fill the bottle the rest of the way with warm water.
4. Use a stirring stick or butter knife to stir the mixture well.
5. Place the spray spouts on the bottles and shake well as the corn starch tends to settle at the bottom

Other variations: Use ½ cup of water and ½ cup of cornstarch with powdered tempura paint.

Hint: Using spray bottles makes the mixture last longer than using squirt bottles.

Keep in mind that clogged bottles may mean that the inner tubing is touching the bottom. Cut a small piece off the tubing to fix this. If you would like to purchase materials online, click on the blue highlighted items on the list above. Have fun!
