Sidewalk Chalk

Sidewalk Chalk

3/4 cup Warm Water
1-1/2 cups Plaster of Paris
2-3 Tablespoons Powdered Tempra Paints
Containers for Mixing
Empty Toilet Paper Tubes

Cover one end of tissue tube with duct tape. Place a loosely rolled piece of wax paper into the tube to create a liner to keep the plaster from sicking to the tube.

Pour water into mixing container then sprinkle plaster; a little at a time, into the water until plaster no longer dissolves (approx.1-1/2 cups). Stir thoroughly. Mix in 2-3 Tablespoons of tempra paint in your choice of colour.

Place tubes sealed end down on a flat surface. Pour plaster mix in. Tap side of tube to release air bubbles. Let dry 1-2 days, pull off mold and have fun drawing!

PLEASE NOTE: Be sure to rinse container and spoon outside or in a container of water to avoid clogging indoor sink drains.
