Tired of the same old ties, tools and lawn care items for Dad?
How about something cool he can use EVERY day, and that honors man's best friend?
ChalkboardDogs! are repositionable chalkboard canine silhouettes that can be mounted on any flat surface such as a wall, door or refrigerator. You can write on them with regular chalk or with Chalk Ink. They can be purchased in the silhouette of any dog breed. and some breeds have multiple choices to pick from! The material used for ChalkboardDogs! is an eco friendly chalkboard film coated with a repositionable, removable adhesive. The grainy texture, slate gray film provides an exceptional finish for writing or drawing with chalk or Chalk Ink
Your whole family will want to be part of the fun. Leave notes or reminders, draw pictures, create art, the possibilities are endless. When you are done simply wipe it clean with a wet cloth, just as you would a blackboard. It’s that easy and fun.
We had a hard time deciding which silhouette to pick out to review, as Marley is a good combination of Golden Retriever and Border Collie for sure, unknown on the rest (German Shepherd?). But when I saw the one silhoeutte of the Border Collie, I knew we had found the one closest too her. Because the silhouette is on the larger side, I opted to put it in our upstairs hallway, where we had a blank spot that was hard to hang any frames at, and seemed like a great spot to leave messages!
I peeled the head of the dog off first and placed it where I wanted it on the wall, and then slid the rest off, working right to left, and smoothing it out as I went. I was done applying the dog in less than 3 minutes! He looks pretty cool, and Miss Grace loves having her 'own' chalkboard! How much so? Check out the pix!
She decided 'large wolfie' had to have pink ears, a mouth and eyes, before he could be introduced to 'little wolfie' and welcomed to the house! Sigh, Southern manners.....Course then she had to go get an eraser and start coloring away! LOL
We were also sent a pack of the ChalkboardDogs! Chalk Ink , which you can see in the pix above, which are the recommended chalk to use with the ChalkboardDogs film silhouettes! We were sent the earthy colors, pictured above. The sets are also available in classic and fluorescent colors. I will probably get the fluorescent pack next, as with the dim light in the hallway, the earthy ones don;t show up very well (however they will work well on the pantry labels I have!) They are easy to use- you just shake them upside down, then press on the tips until the chalk flows down. Then they are ready to use! And best of all, if they get on you, the wall, or clothing, they was right out! Whew! When the artiste was drawing 'little wolfie' and I sitting on the steps, she got a little enthusiastic and the walls became green- wipe off and totally clean! 
I love how the silhouettes are fully repositionable, so if I decide to move it, I just gently peel it off and put it where I want to! Easy peasy! Miss Grace is hinting she wants it in her room, however a lack of available WALL space may keep that from happening! LOL) We have been getting a new picture every day from Miss Grace, who loves coming up before bed and drawing!
