Real Moms DIY: How To Make Sidewalk Chalk
Today we are going to show you how to make your own sidewalk chalk. What a fun summer activity you can create with the kiddos and they will definitely love playing with it too!
How Does She? (Alison) is super creative and will show you how to do it below, and make sure you run over to her site and leave her a comment thanking her for this great tutorial!
What you will need:
- Plaster of Paris
- Wax paper
- Cups
- and some food coloring
I found the Plaster of Paris from Lowe’s after searching all of the craft stores. It was around $7
Kind of a weird present huh?
I also gave them the cute cookie cutters, but that didn’t work so don’t worry about that part!
Mix a little of this and that! Water with Plaster of Paris. Creating a thick goo like the consistency of Peanut Butter.
Telling them they were mixing a magic potion sent beams of excitement through their souls! They could hardly contain themselves for the unveiling of the final product! ( Yes, my daughter was still in her pajamas)
Mix and add food coloring. I’ve heard tempera paint powder works too, but I couldn’t find any for the life of me! I used what I had!
You know the heart molds from the melted crayon post last February? Well, I wanted to use them again. I like to make sure I get good use out of things I buy:)
Let them dry for a few hours and then pop them out! We tried to get a little artsy and add green and darker blue to the chalk.
A dream come true with the magic potion…

Thanks for this! This is definitely something I would like to do with my boys and it’s a lot funner to use stuff when you’ve made it yourself.
Fun!
That is such a great idea! Thank you!
This is such a cute idea! I want to try this!
What a clever idea! I’m going to pass this along to my sister-in-law who is looking for ways to keep her three kids busy and entertained this summer. Thanks for sharing!
