Sargent Art White Board Crayons {Review}


This product was another one I chose as part of the CSN offer I recently accepted. Unfortunately, my review of this product is not a positive one. (This will be my only negative review of the products I received.)

Let me start by first saying that Brynne will love these when she is wanting to draw on the white board. They are fun crayons that do wipe off (with some work) and she can do some creative artwork with them.

For me, however, I would not use them for school work. They did not write as smoothlly as dry erase markers.

This is a sentence dictated by Brynne. The top one in green is with an Expo marker. The bottom one in blue is with a white board crayon being reviewed today.

And, erasing them was too much work!

Wiping a white board eraser down the sentences one time.
Rubbing the white board crayon with an eraser several times.
Wiping across it one time with a paper towel.
Residue left after erasing "completely" with a paper towel.

When I am working on the white board, I need to be able to write quickly and erase quickly to move on to the next thing.

I would not buy these crayons again.

ABCya

Eli's reading resource teacher shared a website with me yesterday that I would like to pass along. It's called ABCya . There are separate educational sections with fantastic games for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. I browsed the 2nd grade level, and it includes age-appropriate games about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Geometry, Patterns, Mouse Manipulation, Art and Holiday games. There are lots and lots of fun and creative games for children to play. They are fun, but oh, so educational. Eli's favorite, in his short time playing it, was Create a Car . A lot of the games also have Apps available for purchase (99 cents for most of them) for the iPad and iPhone. I have been looking for another free website for games similar to Starfall , for some time. I think I have found it. I can feel confident having Eli and Brynne play these games.
