Happy Multicolored Chalks

This one comes from the “because nothing is ever good enough the way it is” file, and comes to you courtesy of my oldest daughter Daisy, who came up with this by herself and insisted that I photograph it and informed me that it was unquestionably a ‘blogworthy’ project.  She learns quick, that one!

Materials:

  • pieces of sidewalk chalk, several colors
  • water
  • a rock
  • ice cube molds (square, shaped, whatever)

Method:

Smash the chalk with your rock.  You don’t have to completely pulverize it–leave some big chunks for creative effect.

Put the smashed chalk in a cup, bucket, or bowl and mix in a little water to make a paste.

Press the chalk paste into your molds and set it in a quiet spot to dry overnight.

Pop them out and enjoy making some pretty, multicolored drawings on your driveway, sidewalk, or paper!

More chalk-y fun!
