When I worked with our children and other school children I actually ground up sidewalk chalk pieces left over from use and added water to make the paint. I found a better recipe using 1/3 C water, 1/3 C plaster of paris, and 1/3 C of laytex paint. Hope this helps! For children's fun times the first recipe is cheaper, for painting furniture the second more permanent and lovely.
Add plaster, but I hear that you can use baking soda. Never tried it. I found some at Michaels for a really good price and I used my 40 percent off coupon, so I went that route.
You can use baking soda, check it out, have fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-Iou2c-NbA
