DIY Sidewalk Chalk


Creating your own sidewalk chalk is almost as fun as using it! Customize your colors in this fun afternoon activity. Any silicon chocolate mold or ice cube tray will make an excellent mold for the chalk but you can create a traditional chalk shape by using the tubular ice cube molds designed for water bottles.

Things you’ll need:
Plaster of Paris
Tempera Paint
Disposable bowl and spoon
Water
Water bottle Ice Cube Tray

Things to do:
1. Mix up a small amount of plaster, keeping it on the dry side, in your container. Mix in the paint to replace the additional water until you have a thick, pourable consistency. Fill a few of the channels on the tray, scraping the top and tapping slightly to release air bubbles.

2. Repeat this process with additional colors until the tray is filled.
3. Set the tray in a sunny, dry location and allow it to harden for a few hours.

4. Pop the chalk out of the mold and allow it to harden a but longer before handing it over to your little artists.
