    “Sidewalk chalk is great n all but have you ever pre-soaked them so they turn into creamy pastels instead? Really eliminates the scratchiness that might give some folks the sensory ick. This is my preferred way to chalk!”

    “We used to call this “permanent chalk” when we were kids. But we did it in reverse - we’d hose down the driveway and then draw on it. Made our intricate bike obstacle courses last weeks during Michigan summers.”

    “We discovered this accidentally by leaving a chalk bucket out in the rain and now it's the only way my daughter wants to chalk. I agree that it's 200% more satisfying tho!”

    “The colors become much more bold AND the chalk glides so smoothly over the pavement!”
