A different kind of recipe

For fun times!

Sidewalk chalk (nonono, seriously!!)

1 cup plaster of paris
1 cup water
powdered tempera paint for colors

Amounts can be adjusted for more or less (why would anyone want less?) chalking fun.

Mix plaster of paris and water, divide into however many colors you want to make and add a small amount of powdered tempera paint.
Pour into molds and allow to dry. Depending on the size of your mold this could take from a few hours to a few days.
Once the chalk is set hard remove from molds and allow to cure for another 24 hours.

Give to a small child and tell them not to write on the neighbor's driveway.

Good times!
