Fun with Chalk

Today's pin would seem like a no brainer. I've got three kids. I've got sidewalk chalk. I've got a nice driveway. You would think that it wouldn't have to take someone else posting this to get me going, but it did. 

Here's a link to today's pin of the day.

Normally the kids use the chalk for writing and drawing on the easel. Occasionally they draw on the ground. Today, with mom's prompting, we built a racetrack (complete with obstacles and "coins" to collect), hopscotch game, and body outlines. At first the kids were surprised at mom's actions, wondering what in the world I was up to. After a whole their imaginations kicked into gear and they were creating things of their own.

 

All in all, a fun afternoon for all. Even for the little one, who spent most of the time napping. ;-)
