can pencil be used to write over this product? For instance if I use it over a painted growth chart, can I still write in the kids names and heights?

You can write on it with pencil but it should only be applied over a thoroughly dry paint. Preferably water based. Charcoal works better. Or a soft pencil. You may need a few coats to keep pencil from breaking through surface and hitting the paint.

Yes, it is not ideal for writing on.Plastic, it's one solid piece, real flat. Just the top is rubbery.I hope that helps. We love ours, it's perfect for my son.

No, not well. The pencil's marks are are faint at best, and rub off easily. Ball point pens and felt tip pens are best.

Absolutely!! I let my kids draw on it all the time using crayons..works great.

It has a matte finish, so I am sure you could erase pencil easily. I printed on full sheet labels and adhered them to the board.

Use crazy glue: pull off existing eraser, circle of glue 1/8 inch around top, attach head. Elementary kids drop pens and pencils all day, make friends with the janitor and he will have many xerox boxes full of pencils, pens, markers, they save them rather than discard them, and will give you some or a whole box!

Nope-the names are not printed on the pencil. The outside of the pencil is painted the color of the lead inside though...They also have a feature they call "A-B-S" there is a white protective coating that surrounds the lead core-making it break resistant ... this works well too- it wasn't till just now that I discovered what the ring was for- thanks to your question I took a closer look at the box-I wondered what that was all about. I can say I have noticed that my leads don't break as often when sharpening- not 100% but enough that I noticed. I like these watercolor pencils- and I would buy them again.

Absolutely! That's a great idea to have them customized with name/business info. for promotional materials. The pens themselves last quite a long time, I've had mine for over a year. Sometimes with promotional items, especially pens, they don't last very long, but these will last for awhile and would make a great promotional item.

Either would work. Pencils are best though - my 6 year old was happy to use colored pencils on these pages.

If this if for a child, I suggest the cheapest white typing paper you can find- maybe at a dollar store. You can also purchase colored construction paper to mount the child's artwork on. It brings out the colors nicely. If this is for an art student, chances are they already know where to find a better quality (thicker, like cardstock) of paper if it's for a class project. These markers are so much fun, but they do not come with paper. You can, however, purchase Do A Dot work/art books to use with the markers.

It depends on what you use to write on them with. Eventually over time they might fad. With pencil.. They are more reusable.

U could, but these r very easy to use and the stencil won't even be necessary :) My 3 daughters (13,10, &5) and I have created some awesome stuff freehand.

Hey Catherine, what a cute idea. I just wrote with a thin sharpie on one (as my daughter looked at me as if I had 3 heads). It works. The blocks are not polished. Best wishes for a very happy marriage. My advice is play lots of Jenga! //^_~\\

Don't know about chalk, but I painted over magnetic paint, and I did not get good results. You can now but buy sheets of dry erase to put on a wall. They are much nicer and far cheaper. The dry erase paint is terrible.

sure you can write on it with a sharpie. you will have to tape it or attach it somehow to a box though ~ hope this helps!

Yes you would be able to write on the outside. It would have to be with a permanent marker tho.

Sorry, I sent it to someone else so I do not know if it works on large pencils.... I hope that it does because it seems to be made for children.
