3-D Squeeze Chalk – Arts and Science
Squeeze chalk looks and feels like real chalk and dries in a matter of minutes.
What You Will Need:
-
½ cup of cornstarch
-
2 tablespoons flour
-
¼ cup of water
-
4-6 drops of food coloring (or Tempera paint made for children)
-
Medium sized zip baggies
Process:
-
Mix cornstarch and flour together in a small bowl.
-
Add water and food coloring (you will need a separate bowl for each colour you are making).
-
Mix until it is the consistency of a thick paste. If the mixture is too dry, sprinkle with a little more water and stir.
-
Pour mixture into a separate baggie for each colour and seal.
-
Cut a small hole in the corner of the zip bag. Squeeze out the chalk to create your design!
Tips:
-
This activity can also be done using disposable cake decorating bags instead of plastic baggies if you like. Get creative and use the different decorating tips to create unique designs!
-
If you don’t have a driveway to draw on, try painting on dark construction paper or bristol board instead.
