Check out this coffee table painted in chalkboard paint!!
Here’s where I got this picture from: http://jillofmosttrades.com/2012/04/05/chalkboard-coffee-table/
This would make such a cool sight word or handwriting center, I think! Just pick a table large enough for a few kids to sit around, paint with chalkboard paint (directions are included in the link), and bam! An easy and fun center.
Realistically…not sure when I will get around to doing this for my classroom. But hey, a girl can dream, right?!
You should totally put this project on your summer list.
Last summer, I took an old coffee table and painted the top with chalkboard paint. My daughter and her friends came over and I let them paint the legs with all kids of cute designs. One leg has zebra stripes, one has dots, one has squiggles and the other has cheetah spots. It turned out super cute, maybe I will put it on my blog soon. Anyway, my point is that it my students love using it as a word work space.
