This book was a lot of fun—lots of great ideas and some great recipes are thrown in for how to make different kinds of chalk.

It had a lot of fun fonts and photos and all kinds of great ways to run with the activities and make them your own. If you, your child, your artist friend, or anyone you know likes Chalk, this is an excellent book.

Well put together.
