Addendum:
Mitsy from Artmind posted this fun tutorial on how to make your own sidewalk chalk! You can modify it to make smaller pieces (e.g., using small candy moulds, large bubble tea sipping straws). So now that you have all your blackboard surfaced goodies, you can make your own endless supply of chalk as well! Thanks for sharing, Mitsy!
