Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup plaster of paris -- (do not pack)
almost 1/2 cup cool water
Liquid tempera paint in various colors
Margarine tubs or other disposable mixing
Disposable molds
(we used toilet paper rolls with tape
covering one end to make a cup"
Pour plaster into a container. Using a disposable stick, stir in most
of the water. Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of liquid tempera, mixing well,
especially at the bottom. Add a little more water so the mixture
thickens, stir well, and pour into the molds. Remove the molds after
the chalk is completely dry.
Have fun

NOTES : This stuff won't work on chalkboards, it's too hard, but it works great
on sidewalks and lasts MUCH longer than store bought stuff. I made it
for christmas presents this year for kids, and it worked great!
Warning: this is a fun and messy project
