Get out your chalk and
create a sidewalk pet portrait.

Step One: Take out the sidewalk chalk and let your kids' drawings tell the story. That big spider down the street is scary but sweet -- chalk up each of his eight legs.

Step Two: Great Danes aren't called "great" for nothing. Draw it extra large. What's the prettiest songbird in your tree? Let your drawings tell the story. Then sit back and watch the neighbors smile.
