DIY chalk rake
You will need –
- Garden rake
- Jumbo chalk (or using chalk from my homemade chalk recipe)
- Sticky tape or masking tape
- draw a rainbow
- write their name
- draw a shape
- just have fun!
Creative ways to use your own chalk rake –
- Children can write their name
- Draw some shapes
- Draw a rainbows of different sizes
- Experiment with using a chalk rake on different coloured and textured surfaces
- Ask your child to draw a variety of lines (swirls, curls, zigzag and straight)
- One child draws a path while the other walks along behind
This reminds me of when kids just grab a handful of crayons or markers and draw with all of them in their hands, this is a great large scale version!
Can’t believe how simple it is to make this. Just brilliant! Love that pic of Possum trying to fix that broken piece of chalk. xo P
oooh that is so cool and so clever!!!
When I saw this, I thought ‘ Oh I wish I’d thought of that’. This really is such a cool idea. My kids love rainbows to, so I could just imagine rainbows being made all over the deck!
Ahhh I love it
How original – this put a smile on my face , even I would have to have a turn lol
Oh Kate I LOVE this. So simple yet so clever. We are definitely doing this.
I have never seen anything like this! LOVE this idea!
What a unique and clever idea! Possum must have been so proud of her rainbow artwork 🙂 Elise @ Creative Play Central
So very cool Kate 🙂 I can just see my littles running around giggling with their chalk rake behind them.
Now this is clever! My son and niece and nephew would love this. I’m pinning 🙂
Fantastic idea Kate, you are so clever! Pinning for one of those times when the kids come out with the “I’m bored…”
Just popping back to let you know I’m featuring this on my Tuesday Tots post tomorrow. Thanks for linking up.
What a neat idea! Pinning so I don’t forget 🙂
I think my kids would have a lot of fun with that. Thanks for the idea!!
