Artist sponge — (or old kitchen sponge) for blending
Paintbrushes, big and small— grab anything you’ve got lying around
Masking tape — great for mosaics and creating a clean frame line around chalk art
Garden kneeling pad — to keep your knees comfortable as you work
Generic sidewalk chalk — for filling in large color spaces
Liquid water color paint — vibrant liquid watercolors mixed with chalk is fun
