Encourage Artistic Creativity with Sidewalk Chalks

Do you need some worthwhile outdoor summer activities for your children?  Encourage their artistic side with sidewalk chalks.  Crayola has taken the big box of many colors idea from the crayon, and extended it to the 52 pack of sidewalk chalks.  There are 52 sticks, in 24 different colors, an amazing assortment, and perfect for your outdoor chalk artists. 

Hold a neighborhood chalk drawing challenge, and select judges to decide the winners.  Wind up the event with a viewing of Mary Poppins, with a famed Chalk Art scene.  Treat chalk art as visual journaling for your children, and give them a fresh topic each day.  Take pictures, so you can scrapbook their creativity!

The Crayola 52 Ct. Chalk Carton is on the top 10 list of bestsellers in the arts and crafts portion of Amazon's toy department, and it's not tough to see why.  For a sturdy carrier, of course, there is a 52 ct. Crayola Bucket, as well.

While sidewalk chalk is a great choice, be sure to check out some of Crayola's other sidewalk art selections, including brightly colored sidewalk crayons, and sidewalk paints.
