HOMESCHOOL CHALKBOARD IDEAS

If you're on the hunt for homeschool chalkboard ideas that will inspire you to include one in your classroom. You have come to the right place. We have fun and practical great ideas.

Our friends did not disappoint when they created and incorporated their own chalkboards. You might even find yourself adding a chalkboard to your home even if you aren't homeschooling.

HOW TO MAKE A FRAMED CHALKBOARD?

If you've been wondering how to make a framed chalkboard, you might be surprised to hear the only hammer and nail you need will be to hang the final product on the wall.

HANGING AND FRAMED CHALKBOARD IDEAS

You might immediately picture a giant rolling chalkboard when you think of a classroom chalkboard. We want to change that image in your head. Here are some great hanging and framed chalkboard ideas for your homeschool classroom.

LARGE HANGING FRAMED CHALKBOARD

Sarah, over at Finding Our Own Way, has her chalkboard in the perfect spot. Right above her coffee pot and who doesn't need coffee when teaching!

Chalkboards in homeschool classrooms are great for teaching unit studies and everything that goes along with the concept.

HANGING CHALKBOARD FOR CHALK ART

Are you talented like Sarah, from With His Grace? Then there's no better place to display it than on your classroom chalkboard.

Hop over to her Instagram account so you can see more of the amazing art she uses in her lessons.

If you have an oversized frame with glass, you can chalk paint the glass and end up with a great chalkboard DIY project. Then add a far with hanging buckets below it to store art supplies, chalk, and eraser for your chalkboard.

She also has an inspiring blog post that she wrote about How to Create Learning Spaces. Wait until you see the rest of her homeschooling space. She has all her homeschool supplies neatly displayed on her shelves. Her site is so inspiring!

A COLORFUL FRAMED CLASSROOM CHALKBOARD

A chalkboard can be a fun and colorful way to encourage your students or kids and brighten up any homeschooling space.

Hanging your framed chalkboard over a pop of color on your wall like Sarah, at Creative School Daze, keeps your chalkboard from darkening up the room with its black color. The bright color is a fun addition to any schoolroom. And we love the shelf idea before her chalkboard. It gives extra storage for homeschool supplies.

Did you know that chalk paint comes in a spray can? If you hate painting with a paintbrush, but spray paint is your thing, you can still achieve a great chalkboard finish.

FRAMED CHALKBOARD WITH DAILY SCHEDULE

This Kat House uses her chalkboard to help keep her schedule straight.

When we were gathering DIY chalkboard ideas, the idea of having a chalkboard that is magnetic seemed genius. You can create this idea by first painting coats of magnetic paint. Followed by painting with chalkboard paint.

This way, you can hang up your daily schedule with magnets like you see Kat has done. Isn't this a great idea for any homeschool area? It also makes your homeschool room organization much better.

MOVABLE FRAMED CHALKBOARD

If you have a framed floor length mirror that you don't use anymore, consider making it into a chalkboard. This will give you a new or vintage chalkboard look depending on your frame.

The idea of being able to pick up your chalkboard and using it wherever homeschool is taking place for the day is perfect. And this idea is great if you have limited space in your home. A mobile chalkboard can be stored when you are done using it or left out on display.

This beauty is at Tammy's house, over at Paisley Pear Home. It fits right in with her neutral decor.

CHALKBOARD WALL

Why not consider a giant chalkboard wall like this homeschool mom, Kristen at Eyes on Family. This homeschool space huge chalkboard has all the space needed to write just about anything and everything. I love how her room has a traditional classroom feeling.

With a huge chalkboard like this, it leaves room for everyone to write with a piece of chalk. It also gives enough space to write multiple subjects like math problems or you can even use it for the first day of school sign.

A wall chalkboard is perfect for small spaces and large. It will make your school year much easier.

HOW TO MAKE INDIVIDUAL CHALKBOARDS?

Do you have several little ones that might fight over a single chalkboard? Or do you want your kids to have a fun way to practice spelling words? If you're already thinking, how to make individual chalkboards, we have the answer and these are perfect for a homeschool chalkboard.

INDIVIDUAL CHALKBOARDS

Having their own chalkboard is a guaranteed way to make a homeschool day exciting.

Chalk doesn't just come in boring white anymore. So, your students will be excited to create, erase and create again.

CHALKBOARDS ON TREE PIECES

A piece of a tree is a fun and easy way to create your own individual chalkboards. The Cornwall Adventures Toddler made these with a tree that had fallen in a storm which is genius.

Can't you imagine your little one loving to practice math facts or perfecting their lettering on their own board? Their little hands would be so cute writing on their custom individual chalkboards.

INDIVIDUAL FRAMED CHALKBOARD

Jake, over at Great Wood Design TX, is gifted when it comes to woodworking. He made these chalk boards from scratch and they turned out magnificent. What a handy school supply to have around when doing school work.

We agree with him. These will provide hours of fun for kids.

BACK TO SCHOOL CHALKBOARD
