What better way to get outside and brighten your backyard with this temporary art project we found on Parents – Family fun that highlights (but doesn’t harm) a favourite tree.
What you will need
- Coloured chalk
- Large paintbrush
- Container filled with water
Method
- First soak sidewalk chalk in water for a couple of hours to soften it.
- Go outside and choose a tree that’s looking a little drab.(the smoother the bark, the better)
- Rub the chalk on the trunk to give it a coat of colour.
- Smooth out the chalk and blend the hues with a large paintbrush and water.
Now you have created a colourful backdrop for your next backyard party or just to have a bit of fun.
