[Maleficent2]

what a fun project to do with your children!



WHAT YOU NEED

LIBBY'S JUICY JUICE 6.75 oz. drink boxes, one for each chalk block

Safety scissors (available at craft stores)

Plaster of Paris

Water

Disposable mixing bowl

Large plastic spoon

Powdered tempura paints (optional)

LIBBY'S JUICY JUICE bottle caps

HOW TO DO IT

Sidewalk Chalk

Wash and dry empty JUICY JUICE drink boxes. Use one box for each chalk block.


Cut off one of the back panels with a pair of safety scissors.


Mix one cup of plaster of Paris to one cup of water. This will be sufficient for two blocks of chalk.


Pour mixture into two empty JUICY JUICE drink boxes, and let sit overnight for drying.


Once the chalk is dry, you can tear off the molds and the chalk will be ready to use.

TIPS

To make colored chalk, be sure to add the powdered tempura paint to the plaster of Paris before adding the water at mixing time. Experiment with the amounts of paint to make the chalk lighter or brighter in color (4 tablespoons of paint should give you a mid-range color).
