This is best for ages 4 and up. Now that warm weather is upon us, try it! Kids will have a blast!
Ingredients
- * Toilet tissue tube (or an ice cube tray to create smaller chunks for younger hands) shopping list
- * Duct tape shopping list
- * aluminum foil if you are using a toilet paper tube (or petroleum jelly if you're using an ice cube tray) shopping list
- * Disposable plastic container shopping list
- * Plaster of Paris shopping list
- * water shopping list
- * Liquid tempera paint shopping list
- * Spoon shopping list
How to make it
- Cover one end of the toilet paper tube with duct tape.
- Loosely roll an 8- by-41/2-inch piece of aluminum foil and slip it into the tube so that it lines the inside, fitting snugly. (Or coat the inside of the ice cube tray with petroleum jelly.
- Set tube upright (duct tape side down) on protected surface.
- In a disposable plastic container, help your child mix 1 cup plaster of Paris with 1/2 cup water. Stir slowly and thoroughly until plaster is dissolved, about 1 minute.
- Immediately add 2 tablespoons paint (or more for brighter chalk color, but be careful it can stain). Mix thoroughly.
- Spoon into the tube (or ice cube tray). Tap gently so mixture settles to the bottom.
- Let dry overnight before using.
