One of my son’s favorite summertime activities is drawing on the sidewalk with chalk. Unfortunately, sometimes the chalk gets left out in the rain or breaks and isn’t as much fun to play with. As a result, I am often purchasing more and MORE sidewalk chalk. Wouldn’t it be easier (and cheaper) f we could just make it?!?
Which is why I was so excited to find this tutorial for making your own chalk from Mad Maggie Designs. I’m going to try this one out soon!
