Chalk it up

Everyone’s favorite art supply is coming in hot for 2019. And what’s not to love? You can use it for everything from signage to toys to crafting a little one’s next masterpiece. And chalk is a cheap – and mess-free – tool that can keep kids busy during the party. They can draw on the sidewalk, their own individual chalkboards or even one giant board that all the kids can play on.
