Sidewalk Chalk

First things first, start saving those toilet paper rolls. Candy or soap molds work great and require no prep time to make the molds.

To Make the Molds: Line each toilet paper roll with wax paper. Tape one end of the toilet paper roll closed.

To Make the Sidewalk Chalk Mixture: Combine approximately 1 cup of plaster of paris with water until it will pour easily. Just before pouring your molds add approximately 1 tablespoon of tempura paint either dry or wet it doesn't matter.

Allow the sidwalk chalk mixture to set in the molds overnight or until dry.

Pop or peel the chalk out of the molds and let the creativity begin!

(This activity is flexible on the measurements, perfect for younger kids.)
