Description
A fun and easy DIY project for making your own glow-in-the-dark chalk, perfect for kids and adults alike.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 cup of water
- 1 tablespoon of baking soda
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon of glow-in-the-dark powder (ensure it’s non-toxic)
- Food coloring (optional)
- Molds or silicone shapes
- Baking sheet
- Plastic wrap
Instructions
- Gather all your materials on a flat surface. Cover your workspace with plastic wrap to catch any spills.
- In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and cornstarch. Stir well until they are evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, mix the glow-in-the-dark powder with water. Add any food coloring if desired and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir continuously until you have a smooth, thick batter.
- Carefully spoon the mixture into your molds. Tap the molds gently to remove air bubbles.
- Place molds on a baking sheet and let them sit for about 24 hours. For quicker results, bake at a low temperature (200°F/93°C) for 30 minutes.
- Once dry, carefully remove the chalk from the molds. Store in a cool, dry place, or wrap in plastic wrap to keep them fresh.
Notes
Customize colors with food dye and experiment with shapes for unique designs. Ensure to use non-toxic ingredients for safety.
