Reusable Book for Children


Do you have a child that loves to write or draw stories? My daughter loves to draw, and make little books with notebook paper. She would gather sheets of paper, fold, cut and staple. Then she would write and draw stories. For every idea and story, she would repeat the whole process again. Even though I loved encouraging her to be creativity, I would cringe at all the wasted paper, thus I came up with the Chalk A Doodle Book (patent pending) with of course, our patented ButterStix™.  The book is 8 pages long, and has a pocket to put your holder and ButterStix™. It comes with 4 pcs of ButterStix™. Our Chalk A Doodle Book is patent pending.

White Chalk is In so Grab you ButterStix in Blanc

White chalks are in for serious artists, students, teachers & decorators. That's why we offer ButterStix in just Blanc (white). Unlike chalk markers, where it smears when you try to erase, and need more than water, ButterStix White is effortless, creamy & vibrant.
Here is our chalk artist in residence drawing on our chalk board runner in white ButterStix™.

Serious Chalk Art with ButterStix

I hired a crafter/artist to draw on this beautiful banner from  Jaq Jaq Bird with our ButterStix.

She fell in love with the Stix (of course). She told me what would take about 30 boxes of white chalks to draw this, it took her 12 boxes of ButterStix (12 in a box) and less dust of course!

This is a great store idea for retail space. You can cut it, frame it, and doodle away.. The only thing that might limit you is your artistic talent (which obviously I have none since I had to hire her! )
