Chalk Paint

 Have you ever left your sidewalk chalk out in the rain and assumed it's ruined? Well, I tell you it is not. This activity did not exactly come from that kind of experience, but in my pre-mom years I observed that sidewalk chalk was more vibrant and clay-ey when it got wet.

 Step one, find a puddle or create one (with water). Then color it up with your chalk until it looks kind of paint-like. It usually takes us most or all of one piece of normal sidewalk chalk in a small puddle. We go through our chalk pretty fast.

Step Two: Do hand and foot prints everywhere! I haven't experimented with paintbrushes or other means yet.

 Butterfly!

So last week we found chalk on sale for 75% off because it's a summer toy; so we got these massive chalks, 7x larger than a normal piece, only $1.50, score! 

 This is kind of what our front walkway looks like right now. rainbowy.
