Sidewalk Chalk Activities for Kids

Jackie Currie — Sun, 29 Mar 2020 20:07:01 +0000

Hey Lovelies!

I don't know about you, but here at our house, sidewalk chalk is a go-to whenever we're outside. I keep a bucket of it on my front porch for whenever we need something to do in between activities, at drop-off, pick-up etc.

We've come up with some pretty creative ways to use it over the years, so I wanted to share those with you.

From adding water, to paintbrushes to really fun drawing activities, you'll find some new ideas here to entertain your kids with when you're outdoors this week.

Art with Liquid Chalk Markers and Styrofoam Produce Trays

Jackie Currie — Thu, 04 Oct 2018 16:51:57 +0000

Here's a super quick and easy art activity for your kids!

There's virtually no set up and no clean up; all you need are chalk markers and a styrofoam produce tray.

This is perfect for those times when kids want to make a craft or get creative, but you just don't have a lot of time. And even though it's super simple, it gives them the opportunity to create, and keeps them busy for a while.

This is perfect for quiet time, or when kids are waiting to be picked up at the end of the daycare day, or just in between busy bouts of activity.
