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.
While Crayola Children's Chalk is generally sold at toy, grocery and drug stores, Crayola Anti-Dust Chalk is normally found at school and educational supply stores. To locate a teacher/educational supply store near you, please check your local yellow pages under “school supplies.”
