Hey all! As you may already know, baking soda has so many different uses. I have a cool craft for the kids to do just in time for the summertime: Baking Soda Chalk.
This project is super simple, all you will need is baking soda, corn starch, an ice cube tray, watercolor paint, water, and your freezer.

Then add 4 tablespoons (or ¼ cup) of cornstarch into the baking soda.
Add 8 tablespoons (or ½ cup) of water into the powdery mixture.
Next, add in your choice watercolor paint.
Mix it all together. Then pour your mixture into an ice cube tray and place in the freezer. It takes around 6 hours to harden up.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Hi, made sidewalk chalk today with cornstarch , water & food coloring. However, there is still a layer of water on top of all the chalk. Will this eventually dry as well ?
I see that a couple of people used food color. Does that matter? Will it stain what it comes in contact with?
how much baking soda??
