Material Needed

Chalk

Pin

How To

Get a piece of chalk…any size…although I would say younger children would have an easier time with a thicker piece of chalk though.  Scrape away unwanted portions of blackboard chalk with a pin, Work slowly, exerting very little pressure so that chalk will not crumble.

Robed Women

Here are four views of a robed woman figurine.

Don’t feel as if you need to make sculptures of images that are on this page…try anything…even flowers, stuffed animals, or whatever you want to make.
