Wheather creating promotions, or crafts, you need the right supplies. If you like the ability to erase regular chalk, you’ll love using chalk markers. They’re easy to draw with and won’t skip over your writing surface but can be erased from most surfaces. Best of all, when you use these markers, you don’t need to worry about that squealing noise associated with regular chalk.
What Is a Chalk Marker?
Chalk markers contain a paint-like formula that writes smoothly on chalkboards and other solid surfaces. They have a similar look and feel to a stick of chalk combined with a marker, without any of the mess or noise of traditional chalk. For best results, press down on the marker’s tip to get the color flowing before use.
What Are the Primary Benefits of Using Chalk Markers?
A chalk marker is super easy to use. These markers are water-based, which means the marks can be erased with a wet cloth. Ink will wash off easily from clothes and skin, though it stays put on surfaces until removed with water. The easy clean-up and high-quality finish these chalk markers provide makes them great to have around the home or workplace for a variety of needs.
Perfect for Any Task
Chalk markers, also called blackboard markers, are ideal for a wide range of jobs. Use them to make milestone boards or eye-catching signs for special events. School teachers love them for the classroom because of how bold and attention-grabbing the color is. Chalk markers also are great for the office to keep track of goals and weekly to-do’s, and for menu boards at restaurants.
Perfect for Any Age
Chalk markers are made for everyone. Whether you're a teacher, parent, student, artist, kid, business owner, or anything in between, these markers make creating beautiful messages effortlessly. Almost all chalkboard markers are kid-safe and odor-free, and the dustless, non-toxic formula is both eco-friendly and suitable for use in the home.
Write on a Variety of Surfaces
Chalk markers aren’t just for blackboards. They can write smoothly on a variety of surfaces. Use them on metal, glass, slate, porcelain, or any other non-porous surface. You can also use chalk markers to write on LED boards, contact paper, car windows and mirrors, wine glasses, and coffee mugs.
Variety of Vibrant Colors
Colors for chalk markers range from bold neons to soft pastels to your basic white or black, so you’re sure to find a color that suits your project. Bright, neon colors look great on a dark surface. Soft pastel chalkboard markers look nice when making signs and other artwork for special occasions like weddings, birthday parties, or baby showers.
