Cool Fun: Crafting Mania with Sidewalk Chalk, Paint, Ice Cream & More!

The weather didn't cooperate, but teens made a variety of colors of sidewalk paint. Some took them home, others braved the rain and cold to paint a little outside, but most created murals inside. They also mixed and molded their own sidewalk chalk. Then they made their own ice cream and slushies. Most made ice cream sundaes, too!
