Can you believe it?! The kiddos are almost back in school already. Some may have already started. The first day of school is a big day on any parent’s calendar. Whether you love it or hate it, this is a memorable moment each year, and photos are an absolute must.
No matter how old your kids are, one of the must-have photos is holding a sign with the grade and the year on it. Chalkboards are the best media for this as they can be used time and time again. The continuity through the years looks great for the good ol’ photo montage too.
Kick it up a notch with the bright vibrant colors you can achieve with Crafty Croc markers and save! To celebrate going back to school, we are offering a 20% discount on all Crafty Croc chalk markers. Use the coupon below on Amazon at checkout:

How beautiful is this princess-themed board by Honey Dew! It looks like a chalkboard but is actually made of metal, making it the perfect reusable board for use with Crafty Croc Markers. Turn that pretty board into something like this:
To get this look, we recommend the following chalk markers: Earthy Blue (pastel blue), White, Neon Pink, and Earthy Purple. To get the three colors mentioned, buy the 18 Pack of markers.
To unleash your inner creativity, we recommend getting our 18-pack of markers. This gives you the entire range of colors, including our neons, earthy tones, and of course, the all-important white. Cover all your bases with all our best colors in one neat little package. The neon tones give a bright and cheerful look. While the earthy tones include pastel tones for those softer princess-like colors.
With bright blue and green highlights, this is by far our favorite for the boys. And when given the choice, this is what my son choose, so it is a winner in my book.
I like this look with the bold highlights and pastel colors. To achieve this, we recommend White for the name, earthy blue (pastel blue) for all the blue writing, and earthy green (pastel green) for the word Kindergarten, age 5, and the date. You can get these three colors in both the 10 earthy color pack of Crafty Croc Markers or the 18 Pack, which includes both earthy and neon colors.
Of course, you don’t need to follow this color selection. If you prefer, you can go brighter and get the neon colors instead.
Want something a little more colorful? The young ones just love these bright primary colors! This pairs so nicely with our bright neon markers. If you can skip black and black and just want the colors and white marker for this project, save a few dollars and grab the 8-pack.

We decided to recommend this board as it is a hit with the older kids. It is simple and elegant, so it is a bit more grown-up than the cute boards above. As an added bonus, this is a two-pack of boards, one “first day of school” and one last day of school.

Who doesn’t love a bit of glitz and glamour, right? Metallics always look great against the black of the chalkboard.
Sometimes less is more. If you would prefer your writing just to be white and don’t want all the colors, we have you covered too.
