You’ll Need
* 1/4 cup of corn starch
* 1/2 cup water
* Food Coloring
Directions:
Combine the corn starch and water. Stir until you have worked any lumps out and have a nice smooth consistency. I like to do this in cleaned yogurt or sour cream containers. Add food coloring and mix well. It’s ready to be used for painting.
Note: Sidewalk Paint easily washes off with water.

You’ll Need
* 1 Cup Plaster of Paris
* 1 Cup Water
* Powdered Tempera Paint
* Toilet paper Rolls
Directions:
Mix the Plaster of Paris with the water. Add the powdered tempera paint in the color of your choice. You can also divide the plaster mixture into several containers and color each one with a different color paint.
Let it sit for a few minutes. Stand up the toilet paper rolls and pour your plaster into them. These will be your molds for the chalk. Set them aside and let the mixture dry for at least 24 hrs. Once the mixture is dry, remove the cardboard roll. If the chalk still seems moist, let it dry for another 24 hrs.
Use like any sidewalk chalk.
