How to Make Sidewalk Chalk
1. Into each plastic cup, pour ⅓ cup water at a temperature of 40-50 degrees.
2. Stir about 3-4 Tbsp. of a different color paint into each cup of water.
3. Mix ⅔ cup Plaster of Paris into each cup. The consistency will be similar to runny yogurt. (Always wear a mask and rubber gloves when working with Plaster of Paris so don't inhale it.)
4. Pour these into the silicone mold and tap it gently on the counter to remove air bubbles. (If you don't have a silicone mold, empty toilet paper rolls can also be used. Put duct tape over the bottom of the tubes and line with parchment paper!)
5. Let set up for 24 hours. Setting them in the sun will lesson the time.
6. Pop the chalk out of the molds and make sure they feel dry all over.
7. Ready to start coloring your favorite pictures on the sidewalk.
