Chalk Bubbles; Chalk Spray Paint; and Homemade Chalk Recipes and so much more.By Del Pinto[[VIDEOID:6d2d43d9f2c90afbb290226c34afea5d]]If the words: Chalk Bubbles; Chalk Spray Paint; and Homemade Chalk Receipes perk your interest then you may want to watch this book flip through of Lorie Kaehlers new book "Chalk on the Wild Side."This is a great book for anyone looking for fun and in expensive family activities. My kids love to draw with chalk. I even painted our refrigerator with chalkboard paint so they would have a large area to express themselves each day. One of my kids had an allergy to store bought chalk and I had to search to find a recipe for homemade chalk. I love that this book offers several recipes for different types of chalk. Additionally; this book takes chalk art from the traditional chalkboard drawings into a bunch of other fun ways for my family to use chalk and create some fun art.The table of contents is as such:IntroductionTools MaterialsDrawing TechniquesProjects:Chalk PaperChalk PavementHomemade Sidewalk ChalkThere is section that introduces the reader to various drawing techniques like linear strokes; smudging; blending and more. I found the book to be a great primer to introduce kids to various drawing and color blending techniques in a fun and non stressful atmosphere (one of my kids finds her art class to be very stressful; so this helps). The author goes through how paper texture can affect how the chalk looks and blends. There are a lot of really great ideas incorporated into this book.My favorite project is the chalk volcano project; it is getting warm out here in California and this provides a fun way to spend time outdoors and bring a little science into our activities.The recipes are made with easy to find materials such as:Cornstarch or flourfood coloringsoapplaster of Paris (this should only be used under adult supervision)vinegar; baking soda; salt; etc.Antacid Tablets; etc;essential oils; unsweetened drink mixes; cinnamon etc.candy or soap molds 8pc Candy Molds For Lego Lovers; Chocolate Molds; Ice Cube Molds; Silicone Baking Molds; PREMIUM Silicone Molds- Building Blocks and Robots(Set of 8)and other easy to find items.Anything I did not have on hand; I easily found at my local dollar store. If you have kids and they love chalk and wanted to expand their activities; then this book is worth looking at.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy bns1277Such a great book for that creative diy kid.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. OMG! Who knew there were so many types of chalk you could make!By Stefanie G.OMG! Who knew there were so many types of chalk you could make! Rocket Chalk! No kidding! And DIY hair chalk. I cant wait to try this one. If you like making stuff with your kids and then creating art with what you youve whipped up this is the book for you. The recipes have just a few ingredients and the containers needed to hold the recipes will likely already be in your home so this book is a great answer to the question; "What is there to do now?"
