Crayola Sidewalk Chalk is a molded chalk made of Plaster of Paris and color pigments. Although it is designed to be used on sidewalks and driveways, the chalk contains colorants, which may stain clothing and other household surfaces. If the chalk is used on a newly poured sidewalk or driveway, there is a possibility that the open surface pores in the concrete could absorb the colors.

We suggest testing the Crayola Sidewalk Chalk in an inconspicuous area and then try washing it away with water. In most cases, the chalk markings wash away with the first rainfall if it is used on a paved or poured surface that is more than two years old.

Crayola offers stain removal suggestions as a service to consumers. You can find this information by going to http://www.crayola.com/canwehelp/staintips/stain.cfm.

Please bear in mind, all the stain removal suggestions we offer have been tested in our laboratory but we are unable to guarantee the results. We recommend you test our suggestion in an inconspicuous area first.

Crayola® manufactures two types of chalk, extruded and molded.

Extruded chalk, such as Crayola Anti-Dust® White Chalk, primarily contains calcium carbonate. Molded chalk, such as Crayola Children's Chalk (available in white or colored), is a softer chalk, and is not dustless.  This type of chalk is recommended for children's chalkboards as well as construction paper, cardboard boxes and paper bags. 

Crayola Sidewalk Chalk is a molded chalk that is not intended for use on chalkboard surfaces. It does not include calcium carbonate. This product contains plaster of paris which has a gritty texture and may scratch your chalkboard.

Follow these tips for melting crayons:

1.  Only use Crayola Crayons

2.  Only melt three crayons at one time

Also, if multiple cycles are needed to fully melt the crayon wax, the metal melt tray (where you place the broken crayons) may not be fully snapped into place.  This causes the tray to sit unevenly on the heat plate which in turn causes the crayons to melt unevenly. To secure the tray, follow these steps:

1.    Make sure unit is cooled, turned off and unplugged.

2.    Lift plastic lid.

3.    Remove the melt tray by pushing it back and sliding it up and out of the pivot supporters.

4.    Begin sliding the tray back into the pivot supporters, making sure to slide the tray underneath the Yellow Pour Control Tab.

5.    Use some force to push each tab into the rounded joints. You’ll hear a loud click as you press one side in and then the other. This click ensures the tray is properly in place.  The tray should rest directly on the heating unit with no space in between.

6.    Once secured, turn the Pour Control Knob a few times to make sure the melt tray moves freely up and down.
