Sidewalk Chalk
2 cups water
2 cups plaster of paris
2 T tempera paint
toilet paper tubes (tape over one end)
Combine all ingredients. Don't use your hands, plaster of paris will dry them
out. Let stand for 5 minutes. Put toilet paper tubes on a piece of cardboard
or a cookie sheet. Pour mixture into holders. Let stand until almost firm. Peel
off holders. Leave chalk to dry thoroughly (1-1/12 hours). Discard any remaining
mixture in trash, not down the drain.
Eggshell Chalk
6 eggshells (washed thoroughly)
1 teaspoon very hot water
1 teaspoon flour
Put eggshells in a electric blender and reduce to fine powder. You can also
use a mortar and pestle or a rock on a board. Pick out any remaining big shell
pieces and discard. Put water and flour in a bowl and mix until a paste is formed.
Add 1 teaspoon of shell powder and mix until well combined. You can also add
food coloring or tempera for colored chalk. Roll into a chalk-like stick. Wrap
tightly in a paper towel. Let dry for 3 days until hard. Remove paper towel
and draw a driveway mural.
Please use these recipes responsibly. Many of them require
using the stove. Some require using ingredients that might be dangerous if ingested
in quantity. Parents or Caretakers supervise your children. Thanks for
being responsible.
