Wow, sidewalk chalk homemade really ?
Here are two different kinds and one is made and added to plastic squeeze bottles!
Both recipes below!
Do you remember hopscotch, tic tac toe on the pavement and fun with the neighborhood kids?
Well, I do and this is easy to make and fun for all ages.
I now have more fun playing with my grandchildren outdoors and having some fun showing them how to draw and have fun with chalk.
Antonio sure loves chalk and learns quickly at 5 years old he is loving his chalk drawings.
Mix 1 cup of Plaster of Paris with 3/4 cup of water.
Add color to your mixture using powdered tempera paint.
Blend well and let stand for a few minutes.
Pour your mixture into the molds you chose.
Set aside and let dry completely.
Once dry you can remove your chalk from the mold.
Set it aside to dry for approximately 24 hours more. Drying time can take from several hours to a few days depending on the size of the mold you chose.
Puffy Sidewalk Chalk Paint Ingredients
1 cup flour
1 cup water
1 tablespoon dish soap – just about any dish soap will work.
5-10 drops food coloring or washable paint
How to Make Sidewalk Chalk Paint
In a large mixing bowl stir together the flour and water and mix until no lumps appear.
Pour in the dish soap mix well into the flour mixture.
Making the color you prefer, add the food coloring of your choice one drop at a time until the color is achieved.
Pour the mixture into your squeeze bottle ( I get from the dollar tree).
Squirt on a clear sidewalk and create whatever the kids want.
This will not save well and tends to explode out of its container.
If you want several colors separate into cool whip bowls and make different colors to use.
