We are sharing an Easy Sidewalk Chalk Art project that anyone can do. This Mosaic Sidewalk Chalk Art is a great way for the kids and adults to play outside.
CHALK ART
A really simple and fun way to get outdoors and off of electronics is to create some chalk art on your driveway or sidewalks. There are so many creative ways to create art with sidewalk chalk. This is our favorite Sidewalk Chalk to use but you can pick some up almost anywhere nowadays.
HOW TO MAKE MOSAIC CHALK ART
Mosaic Chalk Art can be done a couple of different ways. We chose to do a rectangular shape chalk art, but you could do a heart, or a square…really any shape you want. Then you just make smaller sections inside the shape with the tape. Any shape will work. Just make sure you keep the tape even so that the lines will line up when you pull off the tape at the end.
We recently created this fun mosaic sidewalk chalk art using just the following two materials:
Directions:
- To create your mosaic chalk art, sweep the area on your sidewalk that you will be using.
- Take your painter’s tape and tape off a square or rectangle if you don’t have a natural separation like we did.
- We wanted to make all of our spaces triangles, so just tape each section so that it forms a triangle. There is no rhyme or reason, just make them any size or shape you want.
- Run your hand along the tape so that it is sealed to the concrete and will give you crisp chalk lines.
- Color each section with a different color of chalk. We were pretty random with our colors but just made sure that we didn’t have two of the same colors next to each other.
- If you rub your fingers over the chalk, it will really smooth it out and fill in all the creases and bumps. This extra step was worth it for the overall look of the art at the end!
- When all the squares are filled in pull up the tape and enjoy your beautiful mosaic chalk art.
MOSAIC CHALK ART
Chalk art is a fun way to spend a couple of hours out in the sunshine…or shade depending on the time of year and where you live. We are going to try our hand at a few different shapes to add to this one! I love that this keeps the kids busy and entertained…and it’s actually a lot of fun that mom and dad and the older teenagers will want to join in the fun too!

Thanks Natalie! I hope you guys enjoy it!
I’ve been seeing everyone’s creations of chalk art these last couple weeks. Art is such a stress reliever..we need to do this!!
It was really a nice distraction for a couple of hours!
Wow, these ides are amazing. Since I have a 17 year old son, who often wants to do his own things with his friends, I find your ideas fabulous. I think I might be able to get him to do a few of these with me. Let’s keep our fingers cross. Thank you so much for sharing.
Stay safe and healthy!
I hope so! Thanks so much!
I shared this idea to my children’s ministry with a link to your site. I found your site while looking for mosaic sidewalk chalk pics to share for them to do while they are at home. We are heading out after dinner to create! Thanks for sharing!
Danielle- I am so happy to hear this! It really is a fun project!
