Description
These chalk eggs arrive tucked into their own egg box: six rounded pieces of chalk shaped just like real eggs and ready for an afternoon of drawing. There is one in each colour, pink, green, orange, blue, yellow and purple, so a whole rainbow sits in a single box. The chalk is pastel in tone, with a gentle marbled look across the surface of each egg. The egg box itself is a soft turquoise, and its lid carries a label with a row of smiling egg faces, so the set looks as cheerful closed as it does open.
This is chalk for drawing outdoors on paving slabs, garden paths, patios and the front step, anywhere with a stretch of flat ground waiting for hopscotch squares, rainbows, smiley faces or a giant game board. The rounded egg shape makes a playful change from ordinary sticks, and the colours sit well side by side, so drawings come out bright against grey stone. It is a toy for play in its simplest form, with nothing to plug in or set up, just a box to open and a surface to fill. We think it makes a cheerful little gift too, since the egg box does the presenting for you.
Each egg is solid chalk, and the whole box weighs 0.21KG, light enough to carry out to the garden and back again. Chalk is happiest kept dry, so we suggest returning the eggs to their box after play and storing it indoors away from damp. The separate cups keep each colour apart and stop the eggs knocking against one another. Keep the box on a shelf by the back door and it is ready whenever the sun comes out, or hand it over just as it is, lid closed, for a present that needs no wrapping.
