We bought a large--8' x 4'--piece of hardboard and had it cut it in half. We chose hardboard because it is smoother and cheaper than plywood ($11 compared to $35). One can of chalkboard paint, two coats of paint, and one day of drying later, they each had a 4'x4' board of their very own.
I've never met a kid who doesn't love chalk and a chalkboard--including me--and these will be used and used during these gorgeous, dry, Oregon summer months.

what a fun idea! I've also thought of painting part of a room chalkboard- but couldn't decide whether or not to do it. The kids having their own chalkboard probably would be better than drawing all over our neighbors driveway! (although she says she doesn't mind...) :)
We are going to do this, thank for the idea!
