Keyword: chalk ice, ice painting, sidewalk chalk ice
Servings: 2 ice cubes

Equipment

  • Ice Cube Tray
  • Mini Popsicle Sticks
  • Cheese Grater
  • Freezer

Ingredients

  • 1 piece sidewalk chalk
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 4 tbsp water

Instructions

  • Start by grating a sidewalk chalk piece into a measuring cup that pours. Use a small grater if you can so that you can grate directly into the cup. If you don't have a small grater, then grate into a larger bowl and then transfer to a pouring cup. We used about half a sidewalk chalk piece per color.

  • Repeat for each color you'd like to make. Double or triple the recipe to make a larger batch. This recipe will fill 2-3 ice cubes.
  • Add mini popsicle sticks into the ice cube trays. You can lean them to one side to keep them standing up.
  • Freeze.
  • Once frozen, let the ice cube tray sit out for a few minutes so that you can easily pull the paintsicles out.
