Description
At A Mustard Seed Toys, we make products that we’re happy for our own kids to use . . . and we can be picky parents! Our chalk products came from our daughter’s love of arts and crafts. She loves to keep our driveway decorated, and I’m sure your kids will too.
Sidewalk chalk is an affordable toy that’s good for hours of fun. And, it’s great for stretching your kids’ creative abilities as they dream up and create animals, castles, vehicles and more.
What Your Kids Will Learn with Our Non-Toxic Sidewalk Chalk
– Develop fine motor skills as they play and use chalk to learn shapes, colors, and patterns.
– Love playing all of the games you did as a kid as you introduce them to hop-scotch, mazes, four square, tic-tac-toe, and more!
– Immerse themselves in their imaginative worlds while they practice and hone their artistic abilities.
Contains:
57 Jumbo Pieces of Chalk in 10 Colors
– Red
– Yellow

Our non-toxic chalk conforms to ASTM D 4236.
We’ve tested our chalk thoroughly, and it works well on concrete, asphalt, chalkboards, chalkboard paint, and wood (tree houses and playground sets). I’m sure there are more too, we’d love to hear what your kids like to decorate with their chalk. Â Feel free to post their latest creations on our Facebook page or Instagram using #amustardseedtoys.
It is great for stretching your kids’ creativity with animals, castles and vehicles.
Your kids will develop fine motor skills as they play and use chalk to learn shapes, colors, and patterns.
Introduce your kids to hop-scotch, mazes, four square, tic-tac-toe, and more! Here’s an idea for learning with connect the dots to get you started:
Connect the Dots with Sidewalk Chalk
How to Play:
For connect the dots, it’s just a matter of dreaming up a simple picture that you can draw without lifting up the chalk. Â Then, outline the shape with dots and number them in sequence.
Once they’re finished connecting the numbers, have them guess what they’ve drawn and help color it in!
Again, you could even use common objects to teach words to really small kids like the moon, sun, stars, birds, trees, etc.
Learning Objectives:
- Colors
- Numbers
- Shapes
- Letters
- Sight words
- Math
- Patterns
- Spelling
How to Make it More Challenging:
- Work on filling in operations for math equations
- Identify the next shape in a list of elements with a pattern
- Say a word and let your kids toss the bag to the first or last letter in the word

I love that this is triangle shaped to keep it from rolling down our driveway, HOWEVER it stained my kids’ clothes- like washed, treated, washed again, will not come out- stained! I haven’t had this problem with chalk before. It’s going in the trash and I’ll stick with the washable brands.

This chalk was exactly what I needed the kids loved it and the carrying case helps me to keep the chalk together.

Unfortunately most of the pieces of chalk were broken when received. My kids love chalk so it won’t matter to them, but it mattered to me.

THE GRANDKIDS LOVED THESE CHALKS.

Chalk hold together well. Doesn’t roll away, or in the kids path. Washes away with ease.
Christi Cuccia –
I am using these for a party favor, and I love the colors, shape and price.
TXPenguin –
Very nice chalk set and just right for our four year old grandson’s hands,
June Nesterak –
Was exactly as I thought it would be.
Joe Crosby –
Quality chalk for my grandchildren.
Steph –
I like the shape of these because they don’t roll away, but I think the shape makes them more fragile. I notice they break far easier than other chalk we have. Love the variety of colors though! You get a ton for the price too.
Teresa Anne –
Love that these don’t roll down the driveway. Excellent size. Great variety. Great price.

The grand kids enjoyed drawing with the chalk. Fun activity for us. Thanks!

We ran into a slight packaging problem with our first order and when we contacted A Mustard Seed Toys, Jen and her team were immediately responsive, professional and remedied the situation quickly. She and A Mustard Seed Toys make it a joy to shop online and we’d recommend them to anyone.
The triangular chalk works well with the kiddos we support as it stays put, doesn’t roll away, and washes off easily.
Thanks, Jen!

Fantastic chalk. The triangular shape is REALLY awesome! Didn’t think it would be too different, but it is. The chalk doesn’t roll away, it’s easier to hold, and the pointy edges make it easier to draw. Absolutely love this chalk. Will definitely buy again once my kids use this bucket up.
Hannah Phaneuf –
Great chalk! My kids love it!
Pam –
Nice big chalk for little hands. Also nice that it’s triangular so no rolling on the driveway.
TechMonster LLC –
Draw houses, suns, flowers and hop scotch squares with this chalk. It’s a bucket and it is full of chalk.
Kate –
Great shape for tiny hands.
AC –
LOVE that they are non-toxic. The container can be used as storage and pretty durable. Chalk is very breakable even for chalk.

We used this in our classroom to write on our desks. Lots of colors and writing on desks is a great way to keep students engaged. There does seem to be a bit of a coating on the end of the chalk which made it a bit squeaky, but we were able to fix that by breaking the chalk into two pieces.
Dan –
Ordered this to donate to a kid’s foundation in Puerto Rico, and it was delivered promptly. The chalk seems to be of good quality, and the design will make it easier for kids to use without loss/breakage.

We bought this for birthday party and it is great. Wonderful that it doesn’t not roll away!
Graciela M. Soto –
When I opened the box, it was filled with chalk dust and pieces. The lid broke open and the chalk was mostly cracked and in chunks.
