Chalk art is adorning the streets as parents and children prepare for another four days of Level 4 lockdown.

On the weekend SunLive asked our readers to send in their chalk art pavement drawings, following Te Puke Intermediate art teacher Sarah Coates bringing out her chalks once again to create ephemeral art for people to enjoy.

We've had photos in from 'chalk-ists' from Rotorua, Hamilton, Athenree and surburbs around Tauranga.

It all started when Sarah, finding herself once again in lockdown, decided to do her part in cheering up not only her family, but her entire neighbourhood when she drew ‘There's no place like home' on the footpath outside her home.

We encouraged our readers to get creative and draw their own chalk art in their driveways or footpath.

In Hamilton, 13-year-old Katie van Dyk was unable to attend her one-year-old cousin's teddybear picnic first birthday on Saturday due to lockdown so drew a teddybear on her footpath instead.

In Athenree, five-year-old Kyla Burd had broken her arm on Saturday morning, but still wanted some activities to do with her other arm. She drew puzzles, animals and people on her driveway.

'Practising animals and getting adults to guess has been a favourite of hers for a while now,” says mum Stacey Butchers.

In Welcome Bay, Link and Aeris Brown, age 9 and 4 respectively, drew a landscape with help from dad Jesse Brown. The colourful piece features trees, hills, a river, sky and a sun.

Link and Aeris's mum Monique was working inside in their home office.

'So dad and kids got stuck into some artwork out in the back yard,” says Monique. 'Cute little dusty footprints through the dining room when they come into the house.”

'Family is everything,” says Zoe.
