Sidewalk Chalk

Boy five years ago I would have said "NO WAY" on sidewalk chalk. Now as a dad it is pretty cool. The neighbor girl came over and was playing with the boys and showed them a really cool trick. If you soak the piece of sidewalk chalk in a bucket of water it turns into a paint sort of. It goes on so smooth and thick and the colors are GREAT!

Great colors as always! What's with the sidewalk chalk hate? That's the second reference I've seen to that.
