Creative and Fun Sidewalk Chalk from Yoobi

Creative and Fun Sidewalk Chalk from Yoobi

Sidewalk Chalk from YoobiI’m an artistic and crafty person and when I was a child…I loved playing with sidewalk chalk. I would play outside for hours at a time drawing pretty designs on our sidewalk and paved driveway, and it was an inexpensive way to keep me entertained while allowing me to explore my creativity. If you’re like me, you can find chalk art for sale here.

Now that I’m a grandparent, I’ve passed along my love for all things arts and crafts, including my love for sidewalk chalk! My almost 9 year old granddaughter loves it too!

First, let me tell you about our sponsor for this feature – Yoobi. The company is based on a bright yet simple idea: colorful, vibrant supplies for school, home or office that give to classrooms in need. For every Yoobi item purchased, Yoobi contributes a Yoobi item to a classroom in need, right here in the U.S.! So while we’re in the spirit of giving thanks – now is the time to support a great brand that is dedicated to giving back!

The company sent us a complimentary 2-pack of their Sidewalk Chalk Pops which are done in adorable popsicle shapes. What makes this particular chalk so special is that those popsicles are thick…which means they don’t crumble or break while you’re using them! Next, you can easily draw with them without getting messy hands because you hold them via the attached sticks.

Our 2-pack came with one lavender colored chalk and one pink colored chalk which are the perfect colors for springtime and Easter designs. These chalks are thick and come in a large size, so they will last your child for a long time!

I hosted a play date with my granddaughter and she decided to decorate my sidewalks with some colorful Easter and springtime designs. She artistically made a few Easter Eggs, drew some colorful spring flowers and wrote the words HAPPY EASTER across our sidewalk. These designs were fantastic and they went right along with all of our Easter decor that we currently have outside in our yard.

The designs that she made lasted for several days until we finally had a rain shower which washed them away. Of course, you can easily erase the designs with your garden hose if you want to clean things up before it rains. Unlike some of the other sidewalk chalks out in the retail marketplace, these chalks did NOT stain up my grass or plants that were nearby. Nope, it rinsed away completely clean with the rain water and left nothing behind.

You can learn more about this particular item and the other products that Yoobi has to offer by visiting Yoobi’s website online and by connecting with the company on Facebook.

The Princess wanted to work on some homemade Happy Easter greeting cards for her Mom, Dad, her Teacher at school and for 2 of her friends. Since I’m a crafter, I always have extra craft supplies on-hand and our sponsor Yoobi sent us a few goodies too. The supplies listed below are for one greeting card. You can basically use whatever supplies you have on hand and I recommend that you let the kids come up with their own designs! Way too often I see these Pinterest moms coming up with designs that are too difficult and technical that a small child couldn’t possibly make them. Let your kids be creative all on their own!!!

Kid's Crafts - Easy Homemade Happy Easter Greeting Cards

My granddaughter kept it pretty simple. Used used a peach colored pre-made blank greeting card and then decorated the outside and inside. She used stickers for her wording and for the grass. She used the Yoobi Easter stamps and ink pads to make her Easter Eggs and outlined each of the eggs with a marker. She then added the “bling” rhinestones above. To finish things off, she used Washi Tape to frame out her word greeting of “Coloring Eggs”.

On the inside of the card she wrote her greeting to her Daddy and added an Easter Egg cardstock sticker. She calls the design that I’m featuring in this post the “Easter Egg Hunt”. She made several cards in just one afternoon and I wanted to proudly show you one that she made! Great job for an 8 1/2 year old girl!
