You will need:

Plaster of paris

Lakeshore Fully Washable Liquid Tempera - Pints (or another washable tempera paint)

Craft Sticks

Paper cups

Bowl

Water

Directions:

Pour 1 cup of plaster of paris into your bowl.

With a craft stick, stir in 2 heaping spoonfuls of washable tempera paint.

Slowly stir in water until the mixture is thick and pasty.

Pour the mixture into paper cups. Set aside to dry for a few hours.

When your chalk is completely dry, tear away the paper cups. Your chalk is ready to use—to create sidewalk art that washes right off!
