Materials required: Color chalk, table salt, other kinds of salt if available, bendable paper plates, jars with lids, tubs or containers for temporary storage of colored salt, and small paper cups or plastic spoons.
Sidewalk chalk or any colored chalk will work.
Pour salt on “cheap” paper plates that are bendable for later pouring salt into
containers. Rub chalk on salt on paper plate to dye the salt colors.
Use different kinds of salt, or use whatever is available. Children
enjoy learning about salt varieties.
Work until there is plenty of colored salt. Estimate the amount needed
based on the capacity of jars available.
Fill jar to very top (almost overflowing) so the salt has no room to mix (to avoid blending colors which will ruin the layers). The lid needs to fit very tightly.
