tubes on cookie sheet lined with foil or wax paper. Pour mixture into holders
and let stand until semi-firm. Remove holders and let dry completely. Ready to

Eggshell Chalk
4-5 Eggshells; 1 tsp. Flour; 1 tsp. very hot tap Water;
Food coloring, optional
Wash & dry eggshells. Put into bowl and grind into a
powder. A mortar and pestle works fine for this.
Discard any large pieces. Place flour and hot water in
another bowl and add 1-tablespoon eggshell powder & mix until a paste forms. Add
food coloring if desired. Shape & press mixture firmly into the shape of a chalk
stick. Roll up tightly in a strip of paper towel. Allow drying approximately 3
days until hard. Remove paper towel & you've got chalk! Eggshell chalk is for
sidewalks only.
