| Sidewalk Chalk |
| 1 cup water |
¼ cup dry tempera paint
(You can substitute liquid paint by adding one capful of
vinegar.) |
| 2 squirts dish detergent |
| 2 cups plaster of paris |
|
| To make the mold: |
| *Cut toilet paper tubes in half. |
| *Then use masking tape across the bottom and part way up the side. |
| *Mix the water, paint and detergent first; then add plaster. |
| *Put the mixture in the mold and let dry, then peel away the tube. |
|
| To make rainbow chalk |
| *Add the water slowly to a mixture of paint, plaster and detergent. |
*Keep the mixture thick and somewhat dry, like the consistency of clay (you won't be
adding a full cup of water). |
| *Pack different colors of the mixture in the mold in layers and let dry. |
