Take uncooked white rice and toss it in a baggie with your dirty chalk pastels and give it a good shake to clean them all up! It works almost like magic. Give it a try!
Okay! I just went to my kitchen and tried this. I took before and after pics on my iPhone. It worked awesome. Can I link this post to my blog. . . I want every art teacher to know about this magic. I'm so excited about it I have to go buy some cheap rice:) I only have organic but I used it for the tester.
Oh my gosh I can't wait to try this!!!! Now if we could find a way to clean those oil pastels too...
ReplyDeleteI am going to try now! What a way to start a Sunday with clean pastels. . . might inspire me to make something:)

ReplyDeleteYes please do! I got this from a colleague at a training this summer. Thought it was a great thing to pass on!
