Our Sunday Fun project...
Okay, so I am NOT crafty, but this was fun and it turned out great! Tiny house (and currently for sale) so no room for an easel. Came up with this idea...
Step # 1: train table (ours a $30 craigslist item we've had for some time - great for play and storage)
Step# 2: flip over the top (ours only had a one-sided scene)
Step# 3: chalk paint $8 - and we only used 1/4 of it (or if you have paint, any color - simply mix 1/2 tsp unsanded tile grout to every 1/4 cup paint)
Step# 4: 3 light coats, super fast dry
Step# 5: $1 egg chalks from Target = super fun!

At the daycare where I used to work, we just bought thin pieces of smooth wood (I think it was masonite?) and cut them to fit in an IKEA poster frame and painted them with chalkboard paint. We could put them on the floor or tables, and it was the same idea. Plus we could store them all over the place - under furniture, stacked on a shelf, or we could hang them on the wall to display. You can also put magnetic paint under the chalkboard paint for more fun.
