SIDEWALK CHALK

Sidewalk Chalk is the absolute BEST craft for lazy days in sun where! Bring art to your driveway and sidewalk with this Jumbo tub of chalk (20 pieces!!) I love that young kids can do this with older siblings and its not limited to kids! This is a great way for parents to engage with their young ones. Not only doing art but also playing games (tic-tac-toe or hopscotch anyone?) Its a great, easy, low tech thing to do when people are starting to get bored or just need a break from screen time.
