Homemade Chalk
Best for ages 4 and up
Materials
- Toilet tissue tube (or an ice cube tray to create smaller chunks for younger hands)
- Duct tape
- Aluminum foil if you are using a toilet paper tube (or petroleum jelly if you're using an ice cube tray)
- Disposable plastic container
- Plaster of Paris (Playbox plaster of Paris, about $4 for 4 1/2 pounds, dickblick.com)
- Water
- Liquid tempera paint (Prang Ready-To-Use tempera paint, about $5 for six colors, dickblick.com)
- Spoon
Instructions
Step 1
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.)
Step 2
Set tube upright (duct tape side down) on protected surface.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Immediately add 2 tablespoons paint (or more for brighter chalk color, but be careful it can stain). Mix thoroughly.
Step 5
Spoon into the tube (or ice cube tray). Tap gently so mixture settles to the bottom.
Step 6
Let dry overnight before using.
Bubba and Jeffie with pictures
It has been such a blessing having the grand-babies back down here. They have been with us for a few days because Michelle ended up in the hospital er for very bad head aches and her head swelled. But Jeffie has been with us most of the time because he doesn't want to leave here. But they both left today until Saturday night or ??.
Jeffie has a favorite place to sit when he is here. It is on Bubba's (my hubby, he is called Bubba because he is carring on the family tradition of male grandpa being called Bubba, I named my grandfather Bubba, my girls called my dad Bubba and the torch has been past on to my hubby) shoulder Jeffie will crawl up on his shoulder they will talk and watch fishing and hunting shows.
Here is a picture of Bubba and Jeffie hunting deer 2 nights ago:
They look so cute  .
Here is my sleepy deer hunter :
 Here is Bubba with Maddie:
Here is Bubba with Maddie and Jeffie who is hiding from his mom Michelle so he wont have to leave, it worked she let him stay:
 Well that is all for today.
God Bless, mj
Soap Update
Just wanted to take a minute and update about the soap we made Sunday. We cut in on Tuesday and it was still a bit too wet to cut, so it's not pretty soap, but it's drying well now and it will be fine.
 
I can't wait for it to be ready so we can give it a try!
