Sidewalk Chalk Troutdale OR

Toy Review:

The original 3-D Sidewalk Chalk was one of the hits of last year-selling out and fetching very high prices on eBay. What made it such a hit? Well, it's affordable magic, that's what. Simple.

The science is simple, too. Warm colors (red, yellow) tend to move towards your eye, while cool colors (blue, green) recede. The colors are on the same plane, of course, when kids are drawing, but when you put on the special, included 3D glasses, you get the illusion of depth. This magical effect keeps kids engaged and playing, and this new set comes with two pairs of 3D glasses, and the big chalk lasts longer than smaller, chalk. (Crayola tells us it lasts 7 times longer.)

The chalk cleans up with a spray of the garden hose, and you'll want to stock up on this for a summer full of drawing fun. We're predicting that this is going to sell out as soon as it hits the shelves-and the weather is warm enough for outdoor play.
