Wash and dry the egg shells thoroughly to remove any residue.
Use a rock or mortar and pestle to grind the egg shells into a fine powder. Ensure there are no large pieces remaining.
Transfer the eggshell powder to a dish for easy mixing.
In a separate dish, measure and combine the flour and very hot tap water. Stir until a smooth paste forms.
Gradually add 1 teaspoon of the eggshell powder to the flour and water mixture.
Mix and mash the ingredients together until the mixture sticks together and forms a pliable dough.
Shape and press the dough into a chalk-stick shape. You can use your hands or a mold.
Roll the shaped chalk stick tightly in a strip of paper towel to help it maintain its shape and absorb excess moisture.
Allow the chalk to dry for 3 days, or until it becomes hard as a rock. Ensure it's completely dry before use.
Once dry, remove the paper towel and write with the chalk on a chalkboard or other suitable surface.
Erase the chalk marks with your shoe or a chalkboard eraser.
