Chalk Popsicles
Is This Cornstarch Chalk Popsicles Safe For Toddlers
Yes, technically these are edible since it is just water, cornstarch, and food coloring. I mean it isn’t going to be tasty, but it is okay if it gets on their hands and they ingest some of the popsicles.
I wanted to create something that you didn’t have to worry if it got on your child or they licked their hand and had some of the mix on their hands. This helps me feel more at peace as a mom, when I had little ones running around.

How To Use Cornstarch Chalk Popsicles
Once your cups are frozen, you will cut them out of the Dixie Cups. Then head outdoors and let the kids have fun drawing on the sidewalk. They will melt especially if the sidewalk is hot.
You can use these just like sidewalk chalk. They are a bit messy but it is a ton of fun for kids, so it is worth it.
