Summer is here! This activity is a fun spin on traditional chalk. Easy, with minimal prep—you’ll have your kids outside painting and entertained in no time.
Materials needed:
- Chalk
- Grater
- Paint brush
- Containers (one per color)

Step one: Grate an inch or so off the end of a piece of your chalk into a container.
