Our DIY Spray Chalk is super fun to play with and only takes a few ingredients.
Okay so I know the groundhog saw his shadow this year and that means 6 more weeks of winter but to me that also means ONLY 6 more weeks of winter. I can't wait till the snow starts to melt and we can get outside and enjoy the warm air.
In Michigan, I love how we get to experience all 4 seasons. But after 4-5 months of winter, I am ready for some sunshine.
We love to get outside in the summer and enjoy it all we can, wether it's playing some backyard baseball, going for a bike ride or playing outside with sidewalk chalk.
Sidewalk chalk is so much fun to use on a nice spring or summer day. They make so many different colors now so you can get really creative. But one of my favorite kinds is Spray Chalk and I love how easy it is to make your own. Plus you don't get it all over yourself while drawing.

What's the shelf-life on this?

Hi Danna, We keep ours for about a month but it's good for about 3 months. Just shake it up before each use. We usually run out before that long. If you do keep it for 3 months the straw to the spray bottle might clog but just use a little water to unclog. Thanks!

So curious! Why the need for dish soap?
Katie Hale
In my experience, it helps it spray easier and not clump together.

I want plain white. Do I need to add the tempura paint?
