Crayola 3D Chalk Activities

Crayola's 3D chalk sticks feature two colors that are paired together to help create special 3D effects. Crayola's 3D chalk activity packages also include 3D eyeglasses. When viewed through the eyeglasses, the chalk seems to spring off the sidewalk. The 3D effects are created by coloring the images according to a specific plan. For example, cool colors, such as blue, will remain "low" in 3D, while warm colors, such as red, appear "higher."

Hopscotch
- Draw a hopscotch court with the 3D chalk to add a new dimension to an old favorite game. Different variations of courts exist, so choose your favorite one. Draw the outside outline of the eight sections of the court in blue so it will remain the lowest point that will be revealed in 3D. The inside eight sections can be drawn in any variety of colors you want to draw, depending on how you want the 3D effects to show up. Try different patterns to vary the court. Add a red, dome-shaped rest area at the end of a pattern for the player to rest on for a second or two before hopping back through the court. Draw the numbers within the boxes in a variety of colors. Play with the number designs to get the most versatility out of the 3D effect. Take a stone or a button with you to use as your marker before you begin hopping, and slip on the 3D glasses before you jump past the starting line.
Four Square
- Four square is a simple game with a basic idea. Four players stand on a court with four squares and one ball. Guard your square while trying to knock the other players out of theirs. A four square court is easy to draw -- simply draw a court with four equally sized quadrants. Use the blue 3D chalk for the outside outline of the Four Square court so the outline recedes when viewed through the 3D glasses. For the inside square lines, vary the 3D effect as you wish by using other colors. Each square is numbered one through four, so render each numeral in a different vivid 3D two-toned color scheme. Note: All four players need to wear 3D glasses to enjoy this twist on the game.
Giant Sidewalk Mural
- Get your creative juices flowing and gather some friends to draw a giant sidewalk mural with Crayola's 3D chalk. Think big -- draw an ocean scene, a planetary scene, a seascape or your school's playground on a sidewalk, an unused parking lot or your driveway. Talk to your school principal about creating a giant sidewalk mural beside the front door of your school in preparation for the first day that says, "Welcome Back to School!" Students won't all have on 3D glasses, but the activity will still be memorable. Loan 3D glasses to small groups of students so they can fully appreciate your creation. Ask the art teacher if you can create seasonal murals throughout the year for special events.
