Chalk it up to awkward.
Thank you February for giving us a day to use sidewalk chalk in the NE US. This hockey puck shaped piece of chalk claims to last three times longer and break less. We tried dropping this several time and it did not break. It will last three times longer because it is three times bigger than a normal chalk stick. We found this chalk shape to be awkward to hold especially for a 5 year olds hands. It drew about the same and colored in space as well as original sticks. But when the teenagers tried it, it was harder to draw detailed drawings or write as precisely. Over all we all preffered the original crayola chalk sticks to this awkward shape.

Outdoor super chalk
I have mixed feelings about this chalk. It compares favorably to sidewalk chalk and its actually a bit smoother to use on the asphalt. However it's big and my 6 year old found it difficult to hold. He didn't quite know how to hold the chalk since it was a disk (whereas if you had a stick of chalk you know instinctively how to hold it like a writing utensil). We thought it would be easier/faster to color large surfaces if we color on the flat side but that didn't work too well so he had to color using the thinner surface. The powder was also finer so it marked up his hands more so than with regular sidewalk chalk.

Bold colors, perfect for small hands
I was a little skeptical about the shape of this chalk and how easy it would be for kids to draw with. I was pleasantly surprised! It’s not difficult to get different line weights using different sizes of the disc, and the color is bold and vibrant. Individually wrapped, this would make a perfect stocking stuffer or goodie bag item.
Pros:
- Bright, bold colors.
- East for little hands to hold!
- Sturdy, even when dropped.
- Long-lasting.
Cons:
- Shape will morph with use, possibly changing line weights and precision.
- Not as easy to store as other chalk products, and color may transfer (I.e. no box, disposable packaging)
- Single item, so only one color per purchase.

Didn’t break!
It certainly meets the expectation of low breakage. This was dropped several times while being played with and although occasionally a little bit shaved off the side, it didn’t break in half or big chunks.
Makes good thin and thick lines, however it is a bit awkward to hold both as an adult and for children to draw with. Bright colors, smooth drawing.
I’m honestly on the fence with whether I’d get more of these for the summer or just the regular crayola chunky chalk.
I think if your kids get very upset at broken chalk, then maybe invest in this one.

Best Sidewalk Chalk Ever!
My 9 year old son was very interested in trying out this product because every time we use sidewalk chalk it always breaks apart. On our way to the driveway to try the product he accidentally dropped the chalk and he was so happy that it didn't break apart. When he saw this he wasn't sure exactly which way to hold it at first to make it work best. He ended up holding it to use the side of the chalk puck. When he was drawing/coloring in his art work he said, "Wow! This colors so much better and fills it in completely." The chalk is very vibrant and makes the outdoor artwork really stand out. This chalk is great for not only coloring in, but writing out letters/words too! He can't wait for another nice day to use the chalk again!

Longer-lasting Durable chalk!
This is a GREAT purchase for younger/rougher kids who toss or drop chalk. Every year we go through several large boxes of Crayola crayon-shaped chalk. While we love the color payoff, we have to throw away little leftover pieces and get scraped fingers using broken-in-half pieces. This hockey-puck chalk has the same color payoff, but fits hands nicer and can be dropped without breaking in half. I hope this is sold in a bundle pack that is cheaper than buying individual colors. I’d pay extra for having longer-lasting chalk that won’t end up in pieces. I’d be happy to have less variety of colors, but chalk that will last longer. One downside I can see, is if your kids enjoy fine-detail chalking. My boys enjoy making roads and large pictures, so this works perfectly for them.

Overall just stronger chalk
The outdoor super chalk is exactly what it is supposed to be. It is a higher quality of outdoor chalk. It did not break. The disc shape does limit one using it for small fine details in chalk drawings. Due to its size you can't use the chalk holders that prevent you from getting chalk on your hands. It is strong chalk and is a quality product but ultimately it is just chalk in a slightly less than ideal shape.

New Super Chalk to add to collection
My 5yo daughter enjoyed this chalk. The circle shape made it a different challenge and fun break from regular chalk. It was easy to grip for her small hands and lasts a really long time. She drops her regular chalk occasionally, which we noticed this chalk does not break as easily due to the shape, so perfect durability. We’ll get more colors to add to our large collection for outdoor, artistic fun!
