sidewalk chalk
Hopscotch drawing sticks
Sidewalk chalk is thick, soft chalk designed for drawing on pavement.
Children use it to create temporary artwork on driveways and sidewalks, draw hopscotch grids, or leave messages.
It washes away with rain or can be hosed off: The kids spent all afternoon with the sidewalk chalk.
The colors are typically bright and varied.
