Directions:
If you don't have a sidewalk nearby, how about making a homemade chalkboard?
For older kids:
Take the homemade chalk and your older children to a nursing home and make a colorful sidewalk mural for the residents there.
Sidewalk chalk is inexpensive at most discount stores, but you can also make your own at home. Here's how:
1 cup Plaster of Paris
1 cup water
Powdered Tempera Paint
Molds (paper cups, toilet paper rolls, etc.)
Mix Plaster of Paris and water.
Add powdered tempera paint until desired color is achieved.
Pour mix into molds.
Allow to dry completely (time varies depending on thickness)
When completely dry, remove from molds and enjoy!
