Sidewalk Chalk Art

What you will need:
A mold (an empty toilet paper roll, a candy mold or a cookie cutter.)
Tempera paint (liquid or powder) or food coloring
Plaster of Paris
A large plastic bowl
A stick or spoon to stir it
Water
Duck tape or masking tape
Sissors

Helpful Tip: You can make your chalk glow in the dark by using glow in the dark paint. You can jazz up your chalk by adding glitter.

Directions:
Mix 1 cup of plaster paris and 4 tablespoons of water together. Next, stir until the lumps are gone. Then add 2 tablespoons of paint or 6-10 drops of food coloring. (The more drops of food coloring that you add, the darker your chalk color will be.)

Helpful Tip: The more you stir the ingredients the more solid your chalk color will be. If you like, you can leave swirls by not mixing as much. Pour your mixture into your molds quickly because it sets up fast. You want to fill you mold when your mixture is a liquid...not clumps.

If you use a toilet paper roll, cover one end with masking tape or duck tape. Then pour your mixture into the top. If you use a cookie cutter, lay the cookie cutter flat on a peice of cardboard. Fill it up with your chalk mixture. If you use a candy mold, just pour your mixture in.

Helpful Tip: If you want thinner chalk, take your toilet paper roll and cut the tube length wise. Bring the cut ends together to make a thinner tube. Tape it shut.

Once you have poured the chalk mixture into the mold of your choice, let it set for two or more hours. After at least two hours, remove the chalk from the mold. Then let the chalk air out for 24 hours before you use it. This is GREAT chalk! Recipe works every time!

Have fun using new homemade chalk. Enjoy your sidewalk chalk art!
