Chalk Art Projects

Sidewalk chalk

Chalk is available in a variety of fun and exciting colors that make the young and young-at-heart want to create a chalk project or draw out whatever is on their mind.

Colored Sand Art for Children

Place fine sand grains into separate containers for each color. Flake pieces of chalk into the containers, stirring to mix the color into the sand. On a poster board, draw a picture or design. Trace the outline with liquid glue and sprinkle colored sand that complements each section of the picture or design.

Chalk Poster for Teens

Design a spectacular wall poster using black poster board of any size. The theme teens all relate to is "Express Yourself." Give teens a box of color and you'll be amazed. Chalk poster boards also work as a menu list at the high school sports concession or creating signs for favorite sports players.

Chalk Stationery for Adults

Fill a large pan with about an inch of water. Flake different colored chalk with a knife so that small pieces of the chalk fall into the water. Don't touch these chalk pieces or they'll sink. Gently place a white stationery card or a sheet of white paper on the surface of the water and then remove it. Place the paper on a flat surface to dry. The dried paper will be beautifully splashed with pastel colors.

Chalk Mural for the Family

Involve the entire family by creating a mural at home. Incorporate a theme like a fertile garden, ocean scene or jungle safari or consider drawing a family mural, including family pets. Use art paper sheeting to canvas a wall in the garage or family room. For outdoor fun in the sun, draw the mural onto the driveway or exterior wall of the house.
