Everyone loves chalk! Right?

Want to make your own?
With this chalk recipe you can even have some fun with vinegar and make your pictures explode.
BUT be warned you may have a hard time removing from concrete.

All you need is cornstarch, baking soda and water.
Mix together equal amounts of cornstarch and baking soda and fill a bottle (I used sauce bottles, the ones you squirt the sauce out of, I will insert a picture for you) 2/3 full and then fill the rest with water, mix well, I used the handle of a paint brush to do this, add some colouring, food dye works best and then let the children use their creative minds and have some fun.

If you want the extra excitement with this, put some vinegar in a squirty bottle and let the children spray their chalk creations and watch them fizz up.




Sauce bottles for the chalk.



Squirty bottles for vinegar.
