Sidewalk Chalk Maze
Friday: Activities and Exercise
I purchased sidewalk chalk with the intention of drawing fun pictures on a sunny warm day. My kids couldn’t wait however. It rained for a whole 30 minutes the entire week, right when they got home from school. But they couldn’t wait for the clouds to clear.

Ketchup boy and flip-flopper grabbed the bucket of sidewalk chalk to see what it would do on a wet sidewalk, and they had a blast. Each one drew a line to follow. Ketchup boys line was full of twists and turns. The flip-flopper drew a very careful, but straighter line. Then they had a contest between the two of them who could follow their lines exactly and get to the end first. Of course the flip-flopper, being older and wiser, knew a straight line would be faster to follow than a twisty crooked line… so she won.
