Homemade Chalk

1 c. plaster of Paris (do not pack)
liquid tempura paints
1/2 c. cool water
disposable tubs
disposable sticks
disposable molds: paper cups, tubes, ice trays
aluminum foil or plastic wrap
rubber bands

Pour plaster in a disposable container, Use stick to stir in most of water. Add 2-3 T. tempera. Mix well. Add a little more water so the mixture thickens. Stir well, especially on the bottom. Pour into molds or ice trays. (If using cardboard paper towel tubes, cover one end with aluminum foil or plastic before pouring mixture in). Allow to dry completely. Remove molds after completely dry. This is very easy to do and is cost effective. Makes approx. 25 sticks @ .25 cents each, depending on the size of the molds. Do Not Eat!
