Homemade chalk

We made some side-walk chalk today. I found this recipe on everythingpreschool.com, and I had the ingredients so we tried it. It made really thick bold chalk. Fun!

Side walk Chalk:
1 cup plaster of paris
1 cup water
1 TBSPN tempera paint (liquid or powdered)
Toilet paper tubes
Duct Tape

Tape up one end of the toilet paper tubes. Mix all other ingredients and pour into the tubes. Wait for 2 hours until the chalk dries. Peel off the tube. Voila! You have side walk chalk! (I put the tubes in a mini muffin pan to stand them up while they dry.)
