Framing

Children use their imaginations to tell a story through chalk in this outdoor activity.

Instructions

  1. Find a clean (and safe) space on the sidewalk or pavement for chalk drawing.
  2. Encourage children to use words and pictures to tell a story with different colours of chalk. The closer the colours are together, the better the results.
  3. Dip a paintbrush in water and trace the brush over the chalk words and pictures to make water chalk art! 

Modify

  • Write words or letters in advance for children to trace. 

Safety

  • There are no foreseeable safety concerns for this activity.
