Sidewalk Drawing

Materials

  • Chalk

Directions

  1. Have your child use white or colored chalk to draw on the sidewalk. Teach her how to play games, such as tick-tack-toe or hangman, or simply let her create masterpieces to her heart's content.
  2. The "paper" will always be big enough for whatever project she undertakes, and you won't have to worry about display or storage space when she is done!
  3. Special sidewalk chalk is available, but regular chalk will do--just be sure to have lots, as it wears down pretty quickly.
  4. Also make sure to limit your child's creativity to your residence's sidewalk, unless you ask the neighbors' permission first.
