4-5 egg shells
1 tsp. flour
1 tsp. very hot water
drops of food coloring
Wash and dry egg shells completely. Place clean and dry egg shells in a small bowl and grind into fine dust. When egg shells are almost completely ground, discard any larger pieces. In a separate bowl, place flour and hot water. Mix well and add 1 tablespoon of the egg shell powder, stirring until a paste forms. Add drops of color and continue to mix. Remove mixture from bowl and shape into a log. Wrap mixture tightly with a strip of paper towel. Set aside chalk piece and let dry for about 3 days, until hardened. Carefully unwrap paper towel to reveal chalk. Use on Sidewalks only.

Modeling Clay
1 cup bakingg soda
1/2 cup cornstarch
3/4 cup water
drops of food coloring
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine baking soda and cornstarch. Mix well and add water. Continue to heat for 7-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture is the consistency of mashed potatoes. Continue to stir, as mixture will thicken very quickly. Cover a flat surface with additional cornstarch. Spread mixture over cornstarch and knead by hand until mixture turns into a workable clay. Divide clay into several sections. Make a hole in the center of each section and add a few drops of food coloring to the hole in each section. If desired, use a different color for each section. Knead the sections by hand until the color has distributed throughout. Use modeling clay to make fun sculptures and creations. For a permanent sculpture, let the modeled clay air dry over night. Place leftover clay in a ziplock bag and refrigerate. Use left over clay within 3 days.
