Pro Tip
Set the boundary and the finish line first. Spooky Sidewalk Chalk Trail works best when the setup stays smaller than the story you make together.
Safety First
Choose a visible, age-appropriate boundary before starting. Check weather and daylight, stay on public paths or in a supervised yard, keep children within sight, and skip any idea that requires crossing traffic, climbing, or entering private property.
