10 Chalk Art Ideas to Try with the Kids
Here's some chalk art inspiration for you and the kids to try on the sidewalk, driveway, or on the patio this spring.
I've really gotten into sidewalk chalk lately. It brings me back to drawing hopscotch in the driveway of my childhood home.
These days, it's a true art form. I'm no Picasso, but I actually think I draw much better with chalk. And, I LOVE that you can draw something as large or small as you want. When social distancing was really at its height, I took to the station parking lot to draw a giant rainbow.
I actually find drawing with chalk really relaxing, and I'm sure it bring you and your kids together, too.
10 'Chalk the Walk' Ideas to Try with the Kids:
1. May as well 'scrub' up a reminder to keep up good habits.
2. Never underestimate the power of a punchy and proportional rainbow. We could all use the positive vibes right now.
