When I received my Chalkola gifts, I couldn't wait to open them up and try them out! I am obsessed with all chalk things. Especially, chalk markers! With my not-so-pretty handwriting, chalk markers make all the difference. They aren't as messy as actual chalk, and you're able to wipe them clean so much easier! Not to mention, you can use chalk marker on glass and metal as well! Talk about crafts on crafts!
My kids love arts and crafts. Any chance they get to color, cut, glue or make anything fun, they give full attention too. Such creative little babes. So when we received our Chalkola board and markers, we had to have fun with them. and basically let them have at it! Come December 1st, our elves come back to visit and stay with the kids for the month till Christmas. I'm sure you've all heard of Elf on the Shelf. Thats exactly what it is-haha. So we used the board and markers as a "we are back" sign and told the kids they're able to play with the board and the markers.
The markers need to be held face down for a time being in order for the ink to release from the actual pen itself. They have a variety of markers as well, not just white! This made me SO HAPPY. Love creativity. They have bright neon colors, vintage matted colors, pastel and metallic! I can't wait to get my hands on more colors to try. And I know the kids will love playing with them as well!
