We made sidewalk chalk paint by crushing up chalk bits with a hammer.
The kids delighted in using the hammer all by themselves.

You control the thickness of the paint by how much water you add.
Note: If you let the 3 year old pour the water all on his own, the paint will be very liquidy.

Rocks were also submerged and scattered.
Our chalk "dust" had plenty of chunks as well so the texture turned out really interesting.

Funny, my three year old would also make it very liquidy... Fun :)
