    Sidewalk Chalk

    Anyone know where Sidewalk Chalk might be sold in Hong Kong? I've only found the thin little sticks for chalkboards. I am looking for the thick, and possibly colored, sticks of chalk.

    Thanks,
    Hunter

    Not sure where its sold, but I know its here because the July 1 protesters nearly got in trouble last year for using it to write protest slogans on the street.

    Try Toys R Us in TST

    @carang Wow, I've been to IKEA 5 or 6 times and I can't remember seeing it. I'll ask the employees tomorrow when I swing by there.

    @packy_crusher I don't make it over to TST much, is there a Toys R Us on Hong Kong Island?

    Thanks All!

    IKEA | Search Result but the only product looks like blackboard chalk to me.

    Ay, and the products are always changing at IKEA. I'm going to check anyway.
    Now that I look at @PDLM's link, I can see the dimensions of the box include 3cm for the smalles edge. This means each chalk is 1.5cm in length. Much shorter than the 2.5+cm length I was looking for (as PDLM noted in his post, referring to it as blackboard chalk).

    Well, after I visit IKEA and Toys R Us on tomorrow or Tuesday, I'll reply back to this thread and let you all know what I find out. Worst case, I'll bring some back when I go to the US in July

    Thanks again,
    Hunter

    The product page states that each stick is 8.5cm long.
