... Read moreMaking homemade sidewalk chalk is not only a creative way to keep kids entertained but also an excellent opportunity to bond and engage in educational play. From my experience, the recipe using 1 1/2 cups of cornstarch mixed with 1 1/2 cups of water creates a smooth, chalky texture that hardens just right when poured into muffin tin molds. Adding food coloring in small drops lets you control the vibrancy of each color, and it’s a great chance to teach kids about color mixing if you combine different dyes. Once hardened, the chalk pieces are perfect for drawing on sidewalks, driveways, or even blackboards. One tip I found helpful is to let the chalk dry completely outside the molds for a few hours to ensure they are firm enough to last through hours of drawing. This DIY activity is budget-friendly since it uses common household ingredients and reusable molds, making it a sustainable option for parents and educators. Moreover, this craft stimulates a child’s creativity and fine motor skills, providing sensory play through the tactile mixing process and visual pattern creation with vibrant colors. Whether for a summer break project or an arts and crafts day, homemade sidewalk chalk provides endless fun and learning opportunities. Sharing this simple recipe with friends or community groups can also encourage more outdoor play and creative expression among children.

Things to do when you’re bored 🍯
I know during the summer I get super bored because I instantly go from doing so much in college and stressing out over everything to doing absolutely nothing and working. So when I have free time I feel like I’m always on my phone and that is what I’m trying to avoid because I want to enjoy my days
