As parents, we all want to provide our children with tools that inspire creativity and foster learning. The Drawing Blackboard does exactly that—and so much more. This innovative product is not just a drawing surface; it’s a multifunctional tool designed to grow with your child.

Whether your little one is just beginning to explore the world of letters and numbers or is ready to dive into more imaginative play, the Drawing Blackboard offers endless possibilities.

Acrylic Surface for Learning and Tracing

One of the standout features of the Drawing Blackboard is its unique acrylic surface. This clear, smooth side isn’t just for drawing—it’s designed for learning. By placing sheets of paper beneath the acrylic surface, your child can trace and redraw letters, numbers, shapes, and more, making it a powerful tool for reinforcing early writing skills.

This hands-on practice helps develop fine motor coordination and encourages a love for learning in a fun and interactive way. Plus, the acrylic surface is easy to clean, so your child can try again and again, building confidence and mastery over time.

Dual-Sided for Double the Fun

The Drawing Blackboard is thoughtfully designed with two distinct surfaces, each offering unique opportunities for creative expression. On one side, your child can enjoy the classic feel of a chalkboard, perfect for doodling, sketching, and practicing their first letters and numbers. Flip it over, and the acrylic side is ready for use with dry-erase markers or for tracing paper drawings.

This dual-sided functionality makes it an all-in-one tool that keeps your child engaged and entertained, while also supporting their educational development. The board is durable, made from high-quality birch plywood, ensuring it’s built to last through countless creative sessions.

A Perfect Add-On for Climbing Toys

If you already own one of our popular climbing frames or the climbing play cube, the Drawing Blackboard is a must-have addition to your collection. Designed to seamlessly integrate with SIPITRI®, MOPITRI®, FIPITRI®, and CUBITRI® climbing toys, this board transforms your existing setup into a more dynamic and versatile play area.

The Drawing Blackboard can be attached securely, providing a safe and stable surface for your child to explore their creativity.

Not only does it enhance the play experience, but it also adds educational value, making it a smart investment for your child’s growth and development.

Sustainable, Safe, and Customizable

In today’s world, sustainability and safety are top concerns for parents—and we’re proud to say the Drawing Blackboard meets the highest standards.

Crafted from eco-friendly, durable materials like birch plywood, this product is designed to be both long-lasting and kind to the environment. It’s officially certified, ensuring that it’s safe for your little one to use.

Creative Ideas and Activities for Maximizing the Drawing Blackboard

The Drawing Blackboard is more than just a surface for scribbling; it's a versatile tool designed to nurture your child’s creativity, learning, and development. With its dual-sided design, it offers endless possibilities for both fun and education. Whether your child is just starting to explore basic shapes and colors or is ready to dive into writing letters and numbers, there’s something for every stage of growth.

Below, we’ve compiled a range of engaging activities tailored to different age groups, showcasing how you can use both sides of the board to support your child’s cognitive, motor, and creative development.

Whether you're using regular chalk, dry-erase markers, or our optional chalk marker, these ideas will help make the most out of your Drawing Blackboard experience.

Ideas for For Toddlers (1 to 3 Years)

Chalkboard Side:

Scribble and Doodle: Encourage your toddler to freely scribble and doodle on the chalkboard. This helps develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination as they get used to holding chalk and making marks on the board.
Shape Recognition: Draw basic shapes like circles, squares, and triangles on the board. Have your child identify and even try to redraw them. This activity supports shape recognition and early drawing skills.
Simple Tracing: Draw large, easy shapes or lines and guide your toddler's hand to trace over them. This activity helps them develop the basic motor skills needed for future writing tasks.

Acrylic Side:

Color Recognition: Use dry-erase markers or the optional chalk marker to draw different colored dots on the acrylic side. Ask your child to name the colors or match them with similarly colored objects from around the house. This reinforces color recognition and encourages focus.
Redrawing Patterns: Place a simple pattern or picture under the acrylic surface and let your toddler trace it. This boosts their confidence as they see themselves successfully creating an image.

Ideas For Preschoolers (3 to 5 Years)

Chalkboard Side:

Letter and Number Practice: Draw large letters and numbers on the board for your child to trace. Gradually, encourage them to write these on their own, supporting early literacy and numeracy skills.
Creative Storytelling: Ask your child to draw a picture and then tell a story about it. This activity fosters creativity, language development, and narrative skills.
Interactive Play: Draw a simple maze or path and have your child guide a small toy along it. This helps with problem-solving and spatial awareness.

Acrylic Side:

Advanced Tracing: Place alphabet or number worksheets under the acrylic surface and have your child trace them with dry-erase markers or the optional chalk marker. This method is excellent for practicing writing skills and improving precision.
Mirror Drawing: Draw a simple shape or letter on one side of the board and have your child try to replicate it on the other side. This helps develop bilateral coordination and concentration.
Redrawing Familiar Objects: Place pictures of familiar objects (like animals or toys) under the acrylic surface and let your child trace and color them using dry-erase markers or the chalk marker. This reinforces memory recall and drawing skills.

Joint Activities with Parents or Siblings

Chalkboard Side:

Interactive Learning Games: Parents can draw a simple letter or number and ask the child to identify it, then erase it and try drawing it themselves. This interaction promotes learning through play and strengthens parent-child bonding.
Shared Drawing Time: Encourage siblings to take turns drawing something and guessing what it is. This activity fosters social skills, creativity, and cooperation.

Acrylic Side:

Collaborative Storytelling: Using the acrylic side take turns with your child adding elements to a drawing using dry-erase markers or the chalk marker. Create a story together based on the picture, enhancing creativity and language skills.
Learning by Doing: Parents can write a word or number on a piece of paper under the acrylic surface and guide the child in tracing it with a dry-erase marker or the chalk marker, then encourage them to repeat it on their own. This boosts confidence in writing and learning new concepts.

Additional Suggestions

Chalk Markers: Besides regular chalk, using the optional chalk marker on the acrylic side could add a vibrant, fun element to drawing and writing. It's easy to clean and offers a different texture for your child to explore.

Chalk markers are available for purchase separately on our website or can be included with the Drawing Blackboard.
