Crayola Sidewalk Chalk (48 Ct)

It's really hard to find sidewalk chalk this time of year in stores, and looking online, it's obvious that chalk prices are even inflated. But with this set, you get 48 thick, sturdy pieces, all a different color, in a big sturdy box with a handle! I like to leave messages for my boyfriend on the walkway, and this chalk is perfect! It hardly left any chalk on my hands, it was easy to write and draw with, too. They are shaped like big crayons. It seemed to take at least a couple weeks to get here, but was worth the wait for the low price. The only way they'd be better is if they had peelable paper around them like crayons do, but these are still good for toddlers cause they don't break easily and don't leave excess chalk dust like cheaper brands do. Go with Crayola!

When I ordered this as a present, I had no idea I was buying a three kilo brick of rainbow chalk sourced from the other end of the rainbow in Crayolaland. Word to the wise, 48 pieces makes for an awful lot of pieces of sidewalk chalk and probably required our mail carrier to take leave for his bum elbow. I didn't need to do arm day at the gym. My toddler thought I had just given him a Nobel prize and permission to eat as much cake as he could.I turned him loose on my back patio and gave him leave to be Banksy. He certainly loves scribbling and drawing in the driveway, on the sidewalk, and everywhere else he can find. Like a normal little boy, he can also become covered in chalk. The real burning questions are probably well answered, but I will affirm them.These are completely non-toxic.The dust will wash off practically anything, including ground into a pair of khaki shorts.The chalk doesn't shed dust as fast as other brands I've seen.Colours stay vibrant and brilliant, but won't resist a good rain or the hose.Fat pieces don't break easily.In short, Crayola did what Crayola is famous for, making a kid's colouring product that resists their grabby hands and destructive tendencies well. Parents can be glad they aren't investing in a new scribble on the garage floor for the next 10 years or an entirely new wardrobe because someone keeps painting his pants blue. These are durable bits of chalk that wear down to nubs rather gracefully despite vigorous scribbling.They also cover a surprising number of colours so the real adult Banksy in your family might be able to make the rest of you feel inconsequential because (s)he can turn out a political statement while your stick figures are parading around. No hard feelings, mysterious uncle. But, seriously, gift these to someone who has a lot of children (they can share) or a long driveway because sky is the limit with creativity and these are wonderful tools to get you there.Now get down and sketch too. It's fun!

I dont think I will ever find a better brand or package of chalk . And I have gone through many , many boxes with my son and the neighborhood children . Each individual piece of chalk in this box is a totally different color and you will not get any repeat shades . You might have similar colors but they will be different .They also range from lighter shades to super bold bright colors . Easily rinsed off the sidewalk and we have never had an issue with them staining out skin or clothing .I do recommend that you cut each 4 pack open with scissors instead of trying to tear through the plastic as you might break a couple in the process . They are pretty darn sturdy pieces though .also I noticed with these that you might want to watch the price as they go up and down to almost half price at times .That's a huge bargain when they do and they are wonderful to gift to kids or donate.I admit that I'm the biggest offender with using up the sidewalk chalk . But it does give me a chance to spend outdoor time with my son and his friends so it's a winner for both of us .I give these the highest of recommendations . There are really none better in colors or pricing . My only wish is that you could get a couple more black pieces for outlining .

I picked up this chalk for use at a party and unfortunately, it didn't arrive in time. So, my grandson, husband, and I get to play with this by ourselves. It is perfect for use on both our cement driveway and our cement patio. I noticed that the color stays in the cracks of the cement but after a good hard rain, it disappeared completely. I had no problem with stains on clothing though I was careful to pre-treat any marks with a stain release formula.When my children were young, we only had a couple of colors of chalk - pretty much white and yellow. It's amazing how many more colors are now available. The chalk itself is a nice size and it isn't round which makes it much easier for my young grandson to be able to hold onto it firmly. We were able to draw rainbows and lots of other fun things that involved many colors.I have purchased other sets of sidewalk chalk and only got a couple of colors. This set has so many fun colors and they are easy for a little one to hold onto. I thought it was a great value for the money.
