Chalk Talk



So as you know, I sell chalk mats on my site. But everyone, I mean every store, every customer keeps telling me to sell chalk, or add it with the product. I finally did my due diligence and found wonderful manufacturer. I just posted it on my site. Most chalks are made with calcium carbonate, and crayons are made with parrafin wax. I found ones made out of sea shells and scallops, that is super high quality! I am in the process of designing them, but we are selling some of them on our site! The company we partnered with helped us along for the holidays, and gave us our first set of chalks! I call them Butter Chalk™. That is what you are seeing: the one states: water chalk is literally waterbased-clam shells. It creates no dust. It writes like butter. Use it on your windows, draw it in the bath tub. Completely non-toxic.

The other chalk is called my "french milled" chalk, but we trademarked it as Scallop Shells Chalk™. Completely made out of scallop shells! IT doesn't break down like normal cheap chalk. It does create dust, but virtually nothing compare to the chalks you would buy at any store in the US.

The best part? The manfacturer hires special needs people in Japan to create the chalks. Soon, they will be added into all our chalk mats and place mats.
