You can also let it harden and use like regular chalk. I did this and used tube shaped ice cube trays(used to make ice for thermoses) to make stick shape.

The colors do not stain the concrete, the colors are much brighter before they go onto the concrete. And then they wash off very easily, just as regular chalk does! :)
