Chalk Snowman

 
Nathan made this snowman with crushed up chalk.
 
 
Crushing the chalk was more work than I had anticipated.  Nicholas ended up taking it outside and beating it with a hammer until it was powdery enough to use.
 
Nathan 'drew' a snowman and snowy ground using glue and then sprinkled the crushed chalk on top.
 

 
 
Then he added a hat, scarf, sticks for arms, a broom, a carrot nose and some eyes and buttons with construction paper.
 
 
super cute and fun and a really neat texture too.
 
 
we had some leftover crushed chalk to use for a future project as well.

I loved the chalk as well, it's always fun trying something different.
