Today is Wednesday - Floor Chalks

There is something about a bucket of chalks and a stretch of pavement that turns an ordinary Tuesday afternoon into a whole project. Twenty chalks in six colours, and not just plain ones either: geometric patterns, glitter chalks, marbled chalks, all tucked into a sturdy little bucket that is easy to carry outside and, crucially, easy to put away again. Instructions for different kinds of hopscotch are included, which is lovely, but honestly the moment you hand these over the pavement becomes a canvas and they won't need any instructions at all.

We love it because:

• Twenty chalks in six colours with three different finishes: geometric, glitter and marbled, which makes the drawings look genuinely brilliant
• Hopscotch instructions included so there is a ready-made game to get things started
• Comes in a sturdy little bucket that is easy to carry to the garden, the driveway, a friend's house, anywhere with a flat surface
• Everything washes away with rain or a quick rinse, so the chaos is entirely temporary
• The kind of outdoor activity that keeps children happily occupied for far longer than you'd expect
• Beautifully packaged in Moulin Roty's "Today is Wednesday" style, so it makes a lovely gift straight out of the bucket

What's in the box:

• 20 chalks in 6 colours (geometric, glitter and marbled finishes)

• Creativity, gross motor skills, and the particular satisfaction of drawing something really big
