Chalk Art


Tyler's kindergarten teacher had told me about how to make your sidewalk chalk super bright with salt water.

Here is the chalk....














Here is a bucket filled with water and 1/2 a container of salt.  Yes 1/2 a container - the blue containers that are about $0.89 at the store.    We let it soak over night and then poured it out into a strainer and let the chalk dry in the sun.
I failed to take pictures of the final project- but the chalk colors were  a lot brighter.  We colored the back wall by the pool and it was fun and now it looks colorful.
