Get Creative with This 3-Ingredient Sidewalk Chalk

It's time to get in the zone, moms and dads. The chalk zone, that is. Let your kid's imagination run wild with homemade chalk you can make in any color of the rainbow. All you need is a little creativity (and also these three ingredients).

What You Need:
 - Ziploc bags
 - ¾ cup water
 - Tempera paint
 - 1 cup plaster of Paris
 - Silicone mold

Step 1: Mix the water and a squirt of tempera paint in a Ziploc bag.

Step 2: Next, add the plaster of Paris. Be sure the bag is tightly sealed before squishing everything around to thoroughly mix.

Step 3: Snip the corner of the bag to pipe the mixture into the silicone mold. Stir with a toothpick to ensure there are no clumps of plaster before letting everything dry overnight.
