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!

This chalkboard looks like the one we have hanging that we painted on our wall and then hung a frame over. Check it out in our Valentine Day Decorations post.

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

HANGING CHALKBOARD FOR CHALK ART

A chalkboard can be a fun and colorful way to encourage your students or kids.

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 it's black color.

Did you know that chalk paint comes in a spray can? If you hate painting with a paint brush, 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 buy 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.

MOVABLE FRAMED CHALKBOARD

If you have a framed floor length mirror that you don't use anymore, consider making it into a chalkboard.

The idea of being able to pick up your chalkboard and using it wherever homeschool is taking place for the day is perfect.

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

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

Slices of a wood log with raw edges are laying in the grass being painted with a black chalkboard paint.

A piece of tree is a fun and easy way to create you 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?

INDIVIDUAL FRAMED CHALKBOARD

3 DIY chalk boards were created here and placed on a buffet. Each was created with the came slices of wood to make 3 identical chalkboards with matching frames.

Jake, over at Great Wood Design TX, is gifted when it comes to wood working. He made these chalk boards from scratch and they turned out magnificent.

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

BACK TO SCHOOL CHALKBOARD

Do you take a photo of your kids on their first day back to school? Hillary, from Grace Oaks Designs, made this back to school chalkboard.

It encompasses great things like what grade your child is going into, their age and what they want to be when they grow up.

HOW TO PAINT A TABLE TOP WITH CHALKBOARD PAINT?

Chalkboards don't have to stay framed on a wall. It can go on furniture! What kid wouldn't love writing on the table they're sitting at.

CHALKBOARD PAINTED TABLE TOP

A little children table with 2 chairs, the top of the table was painted with chalkboard paint so that children can draw and write on the surface.

Make your table a chalkboard. You can paint the center of your table with chalkboard paint!

This project was done by our friend Cindy, from the blog DIY Beautify. She shows you step by step directions in her post, Create An Activity Table Set For Kids With MisMatched Furniture.

This is a great and inexpensive idea.
