Chalk Art

Chalk can be lots of fun for art.
You don't even have to have it at home as you can make your own.

Puffy Sidewalk Chalk Paint

Puffy Sidewalk Chalk Paint Ingredients
1 Cup four
1 cup water
1 tablespoon dish soap - just about any dish soap will work
5-10 drops food colouring or washable paint

How to make Sidewalk chalk Paint
In a large mixing bowl stir together the flour and water until there are no lumps.
Stir int eh dish soap to the flour mixture
Add food colouring of your choice,  until the desired colour is achieved.
Pour the mixture into your squeeze bott.e.
Give the kids their new sidewalk paint and let them have fun.
Use the paint on the same day you make it, this recipe doesn't save well... it will explode if you leave it closed.
If you are making multiple colours, make each colour in a different bowl or one data time and pour into the bottles and then make the next colour.
Chalky Ideas

1) Decorate your driveway or footpath outside your house pictures and patterns.
2) Draw hopscotch and find a stone and play at home.
3) Practice writing your letters and numbers in chalk. 
4) Draw some of the insects and bugs you find around the garden or draws a garden for yourself.
5) Draw a giant checker board and find some stones as the checkers.  Play a game with your family.
6) Create a sensory path to follow and have others do it too.  You can walk, jump hop along  it. 
If you have more ideas add them to the comments. Have fun!
