Hump Day Giveaway - Sidewalk Sensations

We've got a little somethin' somethin'
to make your
HUMP DAY
a bit more
COLORFUL!

While pouncing on Etsy {favorite passtime} I stumbled across Sidewalk Sensations. Now we all know what sidewalk chalk is right? .... but... sidewalk chalk paint?? My curiosity got the best of me so I bought some. What else is new my husband would say.

The day our goodies arrived, we couldn't wait to dig right in and get painting! First I must say... the packaging was so superior I almost wanted to save my little stack of cuteness and give it as a gift. The way Stacy (not me, the other one) puts the little tubs together with their own paint brushes (each color gets it's own) and tulle ribbon, sigh... you can just tell a lot of L♥VE goes into each order and I definitely will be giving these as kid's birthday gifts.

All we had to do was mix 1 part paint powder with 2 parts water and we were in business. By the way, did I mention Stacy of Sidewalk Sensations used to be a school teacher? Now she's a stay at home mommy of two, so she made sure to make her secret recipe safe, non toxic and washable. Can't beat that! well I guess it could be flavored.

It's amazing to watch your work of art transform right before your eyes. See...the paint (available in 7 colors) goes on a tad watery and slightly darker than you'd expect, then dries into good old fashioned sidewalk chalk and lighter than it started out. Take a look at our proud family's masterpieces...

  12. I've been a fan of Sidewalk Sensations since Stacy J created the FB page. I am now a new fan of yours thru Sidewalk Sensations post about "Hump Day Giveaway". Her post also reminded me that I need to place an order to replenish my kids' paints. My kids love all the paints, as do the nieghborhood kids. I've given a few of the bucket packages as gifts for my kids' friends. They are too cute. You are so right when you say that Stacy packages her products with love.

  13. I also found Sidewalk Sensations exploring etsy one day... alwasys looking for something new and different for the kids. My favorite are the princess gift sets... love how you can order them in sets. Will order the princess set for my daughters birthday this winter. A suggestion for a new product would be face/body paint. Or what about something along the lines of spray paint... maybe just put the powder in a spray bottle to mix in?

  21. Product suggestion: What about a party set. Large containers to mix in with multiple brushes so lots of children could get in on the fun at once. Then each child could leave with a ministack to continue fun at home.
