Make a Wall into a Chalk Board - for the Kids

November 11th, 2007 Bill Hutchison · 3 Comments

When I first opened up Pigeon Point Project: Writing on the walls… in my RSS reader my response was “wow”. Then I started to think about which wall of our house I could put up a chalk board for the kids to use?

Check out the article to see what photos of I am talking about, but they have made one wall into a massive chalk board for their kid to use. Of course if you believe the article then the kid did it…

Unfortunately I came to the conclusion that I don’t have an interior wall to use for as a chalk board for the kids, but the idea is still pretty cool.

    Hey -
    Glad you liked the chalkboard. Even if you don’t have an entire wall for a chalkboard, you can get pretty creative. I’ve even heard of people taking a small table, sanding it, then coating it with chalkboard paint and using that as a chalkboard surface. Orginally we were thinking of putting one in the kitchen or on the front of the fridge until we found the large slate. You could even put one on the back of a door somewhere…

    Hi Amy,

    I did a quick search and most people in the US that I found recommended purchasing the chalkboard paint at Lowes or Home Depot.
