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 colors), 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.
