To make ice chalk paint, you crush chalk, mix the dust with water, and freeze it in ice cube trays. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:
Steps:
- Crush the Chalk: Start by crushing your chalk into a fine powder. Using already broken pieces or chalk dust makes this easier. You can use a mortar and pestle or place the chalk in a bag and crush it with a rolling pin.
- Prepare the Ice Cube Tray: Sprinkle the crushed chalk dust into each compartment of an ice cube tray. The amount will depend on the desired color intensity.
- Add Water: Add water to each compartment of the ice cube tray, mixing it with the chalk dust.
- Freeze: Place the ice cube tray in the freezer and allow the chalk mixture to freeze completely. This typically takes a few hours.
- Pop and Paint!: Once frozen, pop the ice chalk cubes out of the tray. Take them outside on a sunny day and use them to create colorful art on sidewalks, driveways, or other outdoor surfaces.
