They ordered Ryan Badland and his five playmates to stop because chalking the grids on the road in their quiet cul-de-sac was "graffiti".
Ryan and 10 pals aged three to 11 were playing outside their homes in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, after his mother, Lisa gave them special pavement chalks.
Two police officers then lined them up for a lecture on graffiti and road safety.
Lisa said: “Ryan was petrified. He saw their handcuffs and thought they were going to take him away. It got totally blown out of proportion.”
A spokesman said: "Officers attended because anti-social behaviour is a priority. When they got to the scene they realised that it was chalk on the road and therefore no crime had been committed."
The road was later washed clean by the rain.
