4th of July crafts

SIDEWALK CHALK


3/4 cup Warm Water
Toilet Tissue Tubes
1-1/2 cups Plaster of Paris
2-3 tbsp Powder Tempera Paint
Container for Mixing

Cover one end of tissue tube with duct tape. Place a loosely rolled piece of wax paper into the tube to create a liner to keep the plaster from sticking to the tube.

Pour water into mixing container then sprinkle plaster; a little at a time, into the water until plaster no longer dissolves (approx.1-1/2 cups). Stir thoroughly. Mix in 2-3 tbsp. tempra paint.

Place tubes sealed end down on a flat surface. Pour plaster mix in. Tap side of tube to release air bubbles. Let dry 1-2 days, pull off mold and have fun drawing!

Be sure to rinse container and spoon outside or in a container of water to avoid clogging indoor sink drains.

Happy 4th of July! We hope you enjoy our 4th of July Crafts.
