Wet Chalk

Pro tip: if you have a sensory kid- or just a kid who is bored with plain old chalk: get it wet. It changes the experience completely.  It goes from light and powdery to thick and paint like. You use a lot more in a shorter time, so if you are on a budget, Dollar store chalk is the way to go. We had a lot of fun painting with it and spreading it around with our fingers just like paint. 

Warning: it WILL make your fingers and clothes messy, but it washes right off with water still, since it is just chalk. We liked it so much that we stayed outside for hours playing. We even colored well after it was dark and we couldn't actually see what we were drawing anymore. 😂🤣. Apparantly I am too predictable because as soon as I started writing, Maddie said, "Does that say that you love me?"
