Previously, Twee released a set of [donut-themed sidewalk chalk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cream-slime) and now it is continuing its range of [food-inspired creative toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slime-life-cheeseburger-diy-slime-kit) with a small-batch set of [Sushi Sidewalk Chalk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-confections). The hand roll-shaped chalk integrates colors like pink, orange, yellow and green, with the packaging even going so far as to mimic the way sushi is packaged in a grab-and-go grocery store format. The product from Twee is made with plaster of Paris and tempera powder and is said to work best on surfaces such as concrete and asphalt with a thick grit.
