As an adult with grown children, not living in my house. I'm going to do this with the neighborhood kids😂😂😂😂

as an adult i'm going to do this today 🎉

All the childless adults, get your freaking chalk paint onnnnn!!!!!!!!🥰🥰 no need to have kiddos to enjoy some adorable art.

​@@JustScrollinByI 100% agree! I brought a cheap tub of sidewalk chalk to the park with my grandkiddos one day. There were all kinds of younger adults there too My young grandson looked at one young man who happened to be watching us and said. You want to color too? He did. And his friends did and soon all the 20 somethings were hanging out and coloring on the big patio floor. I had only paid $2 per tub of those chalks and had 2 more tubs at home. We left the tub at the patio/pavilion and left a written note please draw and enjoy It was there and replaced by others all summer. I haven't been there yet this year but I'd like to think some one has been replacing the chalk. I know last summer we saw old folks coloring too. 😅 As long as it hurts no one. Enjoy and play.

@@Emeraldwitch30 I love this!!! You started a little trend, hope they kept it going.☺️ I love that something so simple can bring joy to many. 💕

💡 I am off to buy those things tomorrow! Thanks for sharing! 🙏❤️☺️

Does it rinse off well? I've never tried making my own with food dye. I'm a renter with a nosey landlord.😂

@@JustScrollinBy it does! Never had a problem with getting it off.

Yeah, it dries then you can wash it off after, but it depends on the chalk. ​@@JustScrollinBy

You’re an amazing sister

Oh wow. Good idea!

Girl yessss!

You can make the end pieces of crayons into new crayons, too. Fun multi-colored ones.

That sounds really cool ❤

You forgot holi.

I came to comments to see if anyone had suggested using these powders instead of chalk.

Don't we use flower petals on dipawali

We use flowers and rangoli

I. Love. Yuo

​@@negativitywb9485 You're weird

Seeing someone you loved enjoying the thing you got them/made for them makes a special type of joy. Like seeing family members opening presents you got them!

If you’re looking to buy something from the local store and have a few more questions please let the seller know

Same here, I loved how smoothly it drew if the cement was all wet, or if I wet my chalk it worked nicer too 😊

yh but i once tried it ween it was wet and it stained for like a week woth rain😅

I had a childhood like this too and I loved it! It breaks my heart that I’m raising my daughter in a tiny apartment with no yard. Dangerous neighborhood too, so no walks without Dad but he works 10+ hrs 7 days a week trying to buy us a house. She doesn’t watch much tv, but no trees, no hills, no mud pies or catching bugs. I think a lot of us wish we could do better. 😞

I had a pretty outdoorsy and adventurous childhood too! I was also homeschooled so I got outside a lot

​@@HaleyPBearHey! Remember! Bad parents don't ever think they're a bad parent. You're doing amazing. There's a lot of indoor activities that're great for little kids! Such as: Floor is lava with pillows, cushions, blankets, etc. Coloring pages! You can even ask them to draw something for you! If they don't go to school you could print out (if you don't have a printer, your local library probably does) some simple mind work pages (difficulty depends on age) such as mazes, matching games, etc. PLAYDOUGH! Playdough is great! You can use a baking sheet or plate if you don't want playdough bits on the table. Kinetic sand is great too! Children can even be entertained with some markers and a cardboard box! Or even a trip to the store! Maybe even let her pick out a new veggie or fruit for her to try You're doing amazing with your limitations. If you can't get outside with your kid? That's okay. If you can? Great!

@@BeowulfandMelody Thank you so much, those are great ideas! And that made me feel a lot better. It’s easy to get caught up feeling not good enough but I’m trying my best and it feels good to hear that is enough. 🥹

@@HaleyPBear of course! You're not a bad parent for being unable to bring your daughter outside at times. Getting outside is great but if it's unsafe or you are unable to for other reasons, that's okay! Keeping your child safe and healthy is top priority. Also, if your daughter is still rather young, it's rather easy to make them happy (in my experience) even if you can't take them out for a treat, even a $1 toy or markers can make them happy haha. It's okay to be unable to play with your kid. You could even make a nice list (maybe with visuals if she can't quite read yet) and she could help, of some things she can do when you're too busy to play. Oh also, if she can read or is starting to read, books are great! Picture books, chapter book, anything really. Even an audiobook! (which reminds me, music is awesome too) On Amazon there's these books called Paint by Sticker which could be great for dexterity skills as well. If your local Walmart, Michaels, dollar tree, or something has the supplies, finger painting can be very fun as well. So many things! Just remember, even if you can't get her outside, can't play with her, etc. you are not a bad parent! You're trying your best with the given circumstances and your husband is working hard to find you all better circumstances. It's okay to have your kid watch TV sometimes. As long as rules are implemented so they aren't a screen absorbed teenager at the age of 9 haha 😅. I highly recommend Bluey if you're subscribed to Disney+ it's not obnoxious, teaches great lessons, and is tolerable for all ages. Good luck! You've got this!

My grandson is autistic and I didn't even think about that. Thank you!

Same, I've always hated the feeling of chalk, makes my teeth hurt

@@gramplolo7530OMG it makes my teeth hurt too! I always figured that I was the only one.

Yeah anything scraping makes my teeth feel weird 😮

Tempera paint powder works just as well and comes in powder form already- I hate the feel and sound of chalk too, so I just mix tempera with water for sidewalk painting. It hoses off just as well as chalk. You can also use it to paint snow in the winter if you mix it into a spray bottle or dust the powder onto snow.

That’s your opinion

@@jonde4445weird comment

@@jonde4445oh shut up
