Kids’ Activity Center

Paint a child’s table with chalkboard paint to create a space for drawing or playing games like checkers or tic-tac-toe. Be sure to keep a container of chalkboard chalk handy and teach your children how to erase their work with a clean, damp cloth or paper towel.

Easy-to-Update Family Calendar

Create a family calendar that you can update each month. Then, use it to keep track of everyone’s schedules, from school events to meetings and games. Assign each family member a different pastel chalk color, too, so that each person can recognize their schedule at a glance.

Eco-Friendly Message Board

Need a central location for writing down grocery list items, phone messages, and quick reminders—where the whole family will see them? Use chalkboard paint to create a handy, reusable message board for your entire family.

Labeled Dresser Drawers

Teach your kids how to keep track of their clothes by labeling each dresser drawer. This will help them get ready for school in the morning—plus, they’ll be able to put their own laundry away in the correct drawers.
