Chalkboards for Learning

Whilst living on a boat we had to create areas of interest for our daughter Mia to play in. When creating a doorway to cover the hatch exit we covered it in chalkboard paint so it could be used for lot of different things:

• Learning to draw and write with Mia
• Writing notes
• Leaving messages for other people

So I say we can take this idea further just like in the image below and have chalkboards on every childs bedroom wall. Providing a fun learning area that is reusable and cheap to get up and running.

I think this should be supported by governments and companies as a cheap and fun way to teach children and provide them with an area of creativity.

So a simple kit would contain the following:

• enough paint to create a 2m x 2m square
• paint brush
• instructions on how to use the new "chalkboard for learning"
• chalk to last for a month
• sign up to receive a quarterly newsletter on activities for the chalkboard
