Make Your Own Sidewalk Chalk
If you’re looking for a more eco-friendly approach to your child’s sidewalk art creations, you might consider making your own. However, many homemade variations call for carcinogenic Plaster of Paris. Instead, try chalk-style paint.
We love this recipe from Kyra Sosna, the mom behind parenting blog RACKS and Mooby.
