Chalk Painting

By taking pieces of sidewalk chalk and not just getting them wet but allowing them to really dissolve in the water, you can make chalk paint.

It’s messy, but… well, most fun activities with children involve some amount of mess!

Let me show you how to get set up, as well as some of my trial-and-error tips.

What You’ll Need for this Chalk Painting Activity

Put your sidewalk chalk in the muffin tins and fill each portion with warm water.

Here’s How to Prep the Chalk Paint

Allow the water and chalk to sit for 10 to 15 minutes, letting the chalk dissolve somewhat into the water.

You may want first to crush the chalk into small pieces – or crush up those little ends that are too small to use as regular sidewalk chalk anymore without hurting your fingers!

Use your paintbrushes to make beautiful works of art!
