Chalkboard , Whiteboard & Paperboard

I bought this from IKEA. It has 3 functions. It can be a chalkboard, a whiteboard and a paperboard. I really love this very much including my girls too. It is sure an ideal drawing tool. Some might ask me why use a 'board' while we can just give our children some paper to draw on a table.

Well, writing on a vertical surface plays an important role in fine motor development. It exercises the developing arm and wrist muscles. When writing vertically with chalkboard or whiteboard, children's wrist naturally go into the proper position of writing.

Li Ning used both her hands to write..hehehe..she is very happy.

This is their masterpiece.

Some parents might be afraid of the dust caused by the chalks, well, you can go for the whiteboard!

Still you are worried of the stain caused by the whiteboard marker then, you can go for the paperboard.

As for me, I like them to experience any kinds of writing tools. They can experience the different feel, different touch and different way of writing. Like what I used to say, forget about the mess, just let your children enjoy the fun!
