The other day we bought these new sidewalk chalk paint rollers and I was amazed at how much fun they were to use on our driveway! The coverage was so much better than our regular ol’ sidewalk chalk. I’ve never bothered with anything but the usual stuff, but now I think we may be hooked on experimenting with every kind of sidewalk decorating approach there is!

Luckily, there are bloggers out there already a step ahead of me, creating tons of fun ways to reinvent the humble piece of chalk. With homemade recipes and original ideas floating all around the place, it won’t take long to find your favorite. I’ve handpicked a couple of the projects I know my family wants to try – the ones that don’t require too much know-how or prep time, but that still produce super fun results. Because that’s how we roll around my house – by the seat of our chalk dust covered pants!

Get your chalk wet! It’s such a simple concept, but the results are crazy cool. It’s like working with oil pastels on a larger level. Mmm, feels so good.
