In our house, art exploration is one of the best ways to draw our kids away from electronics and engage their creativity. Drawing has always been a popular activity here, but even more so after Chalkola gave us a chalkboard and a set of 30 kid-safe chalk markers to try.

How We Use Chalk Markers for Kid-Friendly Art Fun
Whether drawing on their own or following a lesson from our favorite Tampa Bay area art studio Art Slingers, my kids love art experiences that encourage them to explore new techniques and tools as they fill a blank canvas (or chalkboard) with their own creations. It warms my heart to see their smiles as they proudly exclaim, “Look what I made!”
For my seven-year-old son, Chalkola chalk markers are an ideal tool for practicing his comic book sketches. He loves to draw his favorite characters from the graphic novel series Dog Man by Dav Pilkey.
At three and a half, my daughter loves to paint and do all types of art play. She gets very calm and focused while she’s creating her art. I found that paint-like chalk markers are a great tool to encourage her to practice letter writing and spelling her name in a way that feels like play.
Markers That Give Mom Peace of Mind
I sometimes hesitate to let my kids use markers because the ink doesn’t always wash off, but I don’t have to worry with water-based chalk markers. To prevent messes, Chalkola chalk markers dry quickly and wash off easily. They’re free of chalk dust as well as harmful chemicals and odor.
When you make a mistake or you’re ready to erase your artwork and start fresh, you can wash chalk marker ink off non-porous surfaces easily with a wet cloth. Chalkola chalk markers work best on chalkboards, whiteboards, blackboards, windows, glass and ceramics. In addition to creating colorful drawings, these chalk markers are perfect for message writing and holiday decorating.
With chalk marker colors ranging from white and black to candy corn orange, fluorescent pink lemonade and beetle bug green, Chalkola offers a vibrant array of shades from classic and earthy to neon and pastel.
