Frugal Fun Sidewalk Chalk

Frugal Fun - Sidewalk Chalk
Let your kids express themselves with sidewalk chalk. The chalk will wash off after the next good rain storm. Kids can draw their own art or games like hopscotch. You can buy sidewalk chalk at craft store or make your own using this recipe.


Ingredients:
1 cup Plaster of Paris, 1/2 cup of water, powdered tempera paint and something to use as a mold (such as a cardboard egg carton).
Directions:
Mix the water, Plaster of Paris and powdered tempera paint. The more tempera paint you add, the deeper the color of the chalk will be. Then pour the mixture into your mold and let dry.
