14 Learning Activities Using Chalk

Check out there 14 learning activities using chalk including sensory play ideas, kids arts and crafts, and STEAM – perfect for play-based learning.

Summer is over.

And, I have packed most of our summer gear away. It’s at this time of year, I always find myself with the remnants of products in-hand, unsure if I should save them or throw them out.

Mostly-used sunscreen, bubble solution, and broken down chalk all make this list. While I don’t have a proposed solution for the two formers, I love creating learning activities using chalk.

On the topic of play-based learning, I would love to remind you of some incredible opportunities to engage your children through play. First, the book, The Undeniable Power of Play, focuses on learning through play and hands-on activities. Want to engage in more playful learning with your kids? Check out the #PowerofPlay52 challenge on Instagram, and join in the fun! Car themed learning activities were a recent prompt, and here is a list of tons of car activities that you can try with your own kids at home.

Now for that broken down box of chalk! Here are 14 learning activities using chalk!
