My kid has a ton of sidewalk chalk in a few brands, and I was wondering if it had any use for The Craft. I was thinking: - Grind it up and mix with flocking (the greens and browns)
- Grind it down for snow (the white and light blue)
- smudge some on a q-tip and then use it to polish/highlight minis/terrain bits.

Crush up a mix of red and orange, and you've got a rather good rust effect if you mash it in with a little white glue and apply it. You really need to seal whatever you use it on though. It also works good for a mars type dust effect

Can be used to craft a very nice (and colorful) hopscotch game?

You can color black construction paper with it. That is just about the only good use.
If you want to be creative and have patience with carving, you can scupt some interesting things...noting outright great, but you can have some strangely colored stalagmites. You would have to seal them afterward though (probably with mod podge).

I don't mind smart asses. They're definitely better than dumb asses, right? And they are twice as cool as half-asses, too. You could do experiments to see if anything cool comes out of it. You could ground it up and flock it over some PVA glue. See what the result is (I was thinking if it would make yellow mold look interesting). I was also thinking of grounding it up and then adding some water to it, see how firm it stays. Perhaps you could sculpt something small or create some type of dirt or garbage effect. You could also take a hammer to some of it and make rubble. I wonder what chalk powder in resin would look like? Maybe chalk powder with cotton balls? Wonder what effects that would make?
