Chalk is one of those basic art supplies for kids that can lead to endless artistic explorations and expressions. We’re all familiar with doodling on a chalkboard, but there many other fun ways to play with chalk. Try making pretty sand jars, chalk rocks or “popsicle” chalks sticks. Or how about erupting ice chalk or an easy spray on paint to make cool abstract art? These fun and clever ideas using chalk are wonderful artistic projects for little ones to express themselves.
