Your child will enjoy doing many of the activities independently, but the ideas in this book provide wonderful opportunities to spend time with your child as you create something together.

The same chalk dust that leaves smudges all over your clothes and hands can make swirly art prints.

This activity is a good way to use up small and broken pieces of chalk. What Youll Need childrens safety scissors different colors of chalk (sidewalk chalk works best) newspapers shallow pan of water white paper (cut into shapes, if desired) What to Do Picture 12 Prepare the area by spreading out newspapers, then fill the shallow pan with water. Picture 13 Hold chalk over the water, and scrape it with scissors to create chalk dust, which will float on top of the water. (You may need adult help and guidance.) Picture 14 Scrape the chalk until you have many colors of chalk dust floating on top of the water. Three or four colors usually make a pretty print. Picture 15 Hold the paper, and place it gently on top of the water.

Do not push it under! Picture 16 Grasp two corners, and pick the paper up carefully. Look at the print. What happened? How did the chalk transfer from water to paper? Did the colors mingle at all, or did they overlap? How is the look created by chalk dust different from what paint would do? Picture 17 Allow the print to dry. If you want to make more prints, you may need to scrape more chalk dust onto the surface of the water. (You may be able to make four or five prints before you need to change the water because it is filled with chalk dust. Picture 20
