When we first got them, every student couldn't wait to start using them right away. We have made large paintings on paper, as well as used the chalk board and white board to draw lots and lots of things! We like to play school using the chalk board and have drawing competitions. The art chalk looks amazing on the smooth black chalk board, and we discovered that washable markers work very well on the white board with just a damp cloth for erasing! That gave us many, many more colors to use in our drawing. \r\n\r\nWe like that our art surface is not flat on a table, but upright, which gives a whole new perspective to our art! We are very happy that we will get to use these each year!
