INSTRUCTIONS

1 Seal one end of cardboard tube with foil.
2 Mix water and food color in a medium bowl or disposable plastic container. Add to plaster of Paris to make a "pudding" consistency. Stir until the mixture starts to thicken. Work fast!
3 Stand your cardboard tubes on end (on wax paper or foil.) Pour the mixture into the tube.
4 When firm, peel off the cardboard. Any cardboard left on chalk can be rubbed off with gloved finger or scraped off with knife blade.
5 Dry overnight. Go out to your sidewalk or driveway, and start drawing!
