![]() ![]() ![]() The Case of the Missing Chalk Drawings, by Richard Byrne ![]() Chalk is such an open-ended experience and almost any book can be paired with it, however below I’ve made some suggestions of chalk-related books that we’ve enjoyed in the past that would pair nicely with a new box of chalk. ![]() They also love it when I trace around them doing different poses and they get to ‘dress’ themselves.Ĭhalk on its own is not a very expensive gift, and while I don’t advocate spending money just for the sake of it, I do allow a budget of between $30 and $40 for consistency. We have written words of encouragement to neighbours and the kids have practiced writing their names. We have created giant ‘obstacle’ courses with different movements, like skip, sprint, bear crawl, roll and frog jump. We have mapped out a traffic school for bikes and scooters. We have used chalk to draw flowers, rainbows, clouds, fruit, the list goes on. I have gifted it plenty of times because I have seen how much fun kids have with the freedom of a canvas as large as a driveway, sidewalk or road (we live on a very quiet street). Long before lockdown caused a massive run on it, chalk has been a staple in our household. ![]()
