Summer Time: Chalk People

We love playing outside with the sidewalk chalk. It never gets old and we always find so many things to do while we are playing. 

This particular day we decided to outline everyone and have them make themselves into ninja's or whatever they wanted to be. 

The neighborhood kids even joined in. 

Here is what the kids drew. 

We have also make sidewalk paint as well. Click here for the post and directions on how to make it. 

Sidewalk Chalk Paint

Summer time is the best time to get out and play with chalk but what are you going to do with all those little pieces of chalk that end up in the bottom of the bucket? Don't throw them out instead turn them into something even more fun for the kids.

Most of the recipes I've seen tell you use cornstarch and other things but with this recipe all you need is chalk and water. 

What else can you do with your sidewalk paint? Paint pin cones or make a picture on paper.
