Home-Made Sidewalk Chalk

About a week ago, I made some home-made sidewalk chalk. Our sticks were turning into nubbins, and my sister sent me a link with the recipe...so I thought it would be a fun thing for me to try. (Max probably doesn't care). I was nervous that they wouldn't work, so I had to try them out first before having someone else come play with them (kim...)
They look like, well, poo, but they work!
Using toilet paper rolls, waxed paper, plaster of paris, water and washable paint... They wouldn't look so much like 'dump' if I had a funnel...I've been stinkin' wishin' I had a funnel for forever!

but they are huge, which are more fun to color with!

I was hoping for non-pastel colors, but with a whole lotta paint, pastel is all I got...whatever, dude.
Happy Chalk Making...here's the link.
start saving your toto paper rolls!
