We love chalking. It’s simple, fun and a fantastic way for the whole family to get creative. In fact, we love it so much that we are planning a floor to ceiling blackboard wall when we have our kitchen renovated. The only trouble with standard chalks are that they can be quite dusty and get all over hands, clothes and fabrics. And, with time the colours tend to be quite pale and dull. Luckily, the clever people over at Chalkola have found a solution. Chalkola chalk pens and chalk markers. Once you get your hands on these, you will never look back, as they bring a whole new level of innovation to traditional chalking.
We have been trying out the Chalkola Platinum series, which are the big 15 mm jumbo tipped chalk markers and the Chalkola Premium Wet Wipe Markers, which comes as a pack of 15 6mm chalk pens and 6 metallic markers. Yes… metallic!
We have fallen hook, line and sinker for Chalkola chalk pens. They are so easy to use and the vibrant colours make them a real stand out tool to use for creative projects.
The clever thing about these are that they can be used on a wide variety of surfaces including glass and plastic. Little Button made a bee line for a glass star bowl we have, and set about decorating.
The ink went on smoothly and she was very impressed with the instant results you get from these.
We have been having so much fun coming up with all sorts of ways these chalk pens can be used. One of my favourite ideas is to leave little lunchbox messages for Little Button to discover.
Would you like to win a Premium Wet Wipe Markers pack? It’s my favourite pack and contains the 15 chalk pens which are a great size for little hands, and those all-important 6 gorgeous metallic markers. Enter your details below, and I will be crossing my fingers for you. Good luck!
If you can’t wait to get your hands on these, head over to Amazon or the Chalkola website now and grab 15% off with this code 15OFFSTR.
Disclosure: We received a selection of Chalkola Chalk Pens and Markers for the purposes of a review. Chalkola will be sending the winner of this giveaway a 21 pack of Chalkola Pens directly. All views are my own.
