Kids Craft: Make Your Own Sidewalk Chalk

Springfield Moms reader Sarah Pehlman tested this and said you might need to add a little more water than the recipe specifies. She found it easy to make, and it washed off the driveway in the first rain!

  • 3/4 cup plaster of Paris
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tbsp. liquid tempera paint (I use washable paint with little kids!)

1. Mix ingredients

2. Spoon into toilet paper tubes upright on wax paper.

3. Push out bubbles with knife or straw.

4. Let dry a couple of hours.

5. Peel off cardboard.

6. Let dry overnight.

7. HAVE FUN!
