The reviews were mixed, but I was hopeful that my experience would be positive, so I purchased this item. Not the case. I wrote something on my hand-painted chalkboard, let it sit a day, and then tried to erase it. My writing (in white) became slightly less bright but is still completely visible. I've tried wiping it off with a dry cloth, with a wet cloth, with Windex, and with soap and water. Nothing works. Major fail.

I've been using these for our chalkboard menus at our cafe, as well as on the chalkboard grocery list on our wall at home. These were painted with the run-of-the-mill chalkboard paint from Home Depot. The markers wipe off easily with just a damp cloth, don't leave behind any markings, and are really brightly coloured. Some folks were saying that they were having to go over their writing a couple of times, but I really don't see why. These are fantastic!

I bought these to use with magnetic black chalkboard; however, they leave a very visible shadow behind no matter what you try to use to remove it. Yes, the product does say for use with chalkboards but according to the company they have been having many problems/complaints that their product cannot be removed from black chalkboards. Don't believe me? Call them yourself at 310-793-2200. Listen to the prompts and select your region to speak to them (I choose option 7 and spoke with Shannon). The company also indicates that they do not currently have any products that play nice with black chalkboards. I didn't ask if they would pay for a new chalkboard since their product damaged the one that I purchased since I plan on using a "back to black" product found in automotive stores to cover over the shadows (hopefully this will work). Then I plan on using a washable crayon from Crayola. The reviews that I have read indicate that this has worked well on all chalkboards and is non-toxic.

p.s. This product is sold in conjunction with black chalkboards in stores and even on Amazon. Guys, gals, it's not our fault... Get a refund and ask for money to replace your black chalkboard until the company puts a warning on their product that it will damage black chalkboards. This could be a good class action suit for some hungry attorney out there...

Honest reviews on Uchida 480-4A 4-Piece Bistro Chalk Marker Set

These markers are much brighter than what is pictured (fluorescent pink, yellow, green and blue instead of pastel type colors). Other than that, these are exactly as advertized. I have had no problems erasing them and they have not made a mess at all. They write like a marker does on paper and erase with a wet cloth like chalk does on a chalkboard.

I bought 7 of these sets for an art class I am teaching. Good quality supplies for students... No complaints from me except two colors of paints do not match the containers.... The color that is supposed to be viridian has a dark green on the tube but the paint inside is almost aqua. The tube that is purple on the outside says "phthalocyanine blue" and is a deep-blue color. The rest of the paints seem to be fine.

I hate this die, does not have a deep enough cut to go thru chipboard easily and if you use patterned paper the paper sticks in the groves of the die and you have to dig it out potentially damaging the die cut.

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I bought a set of these several years ago along with a different brand that turned out to be some generic no name product, but that's not what I'm talking about in this review. I am just now returning to see if these were still available and I'm glad they are. For the price, I was pleasantly surprised at how vibrant and rich these colors are. You don't have to use a lot of product to get bright, vivid results. I've used several other brands, mainly the cheap stuff, and I find a lot of them look beautiful when you first apply the paint but after it dries it turns into a dusty, chalky mess. I'm happy to report that that does not happen with this brand. The colors stay bright and lively for years.

The one issue I've had is that a few of the tubes aren't properly sealed at the bottom and it causes the paint to dry up. It's not such a big deal with watercolors because you can just peel off the tube and use the paint the same way you would use a watercolor cake, but still. I docked one point for that.

I bought several colors of this paint in the satin and pearl finishes and I use them to paint fabric, but I also used them on wood. They are great for just about any project, as they are suitable for many different surfaces, including glass and metal! I admit, they did not stick to the plastic I painted, but it was just a shot in the dark to see if it would work. Overall, I would recommend these paints. Even though they are just a little pricey, it is worth it to save space in my crafting area because I do not have to have 8 bottles of the same color to use on different surfaces!

Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I really like Gutermann thread, I just wanted to highlight that I ordered the Dark Gray Color and once it arrived it looked much more like a very dark navy blue to me. So just keep that in mind if you're interested in a "true gray" – you might want to go with another color name.

I've purchased Gutermann thread before and it is a great price for the quality. The product arrived, and it is such a dark green that it almost looks black in some light. I'd hardly say that it is "khaki," but rather "dark green" or "forest green." I'll probably return this.

I bought this thread to sew cloth diapers because I had heard that its best to use 100% polyester thread to avoid wicking. Many diaper sewers online recommend Gutermann for the high quality over other brands. I do think this good quality thread, but I've yet to see why it is so much superior to other brands of 100% polyester all-purpose thread that are often a little cheaper. Anyway, the thread is good and I like the color.

I'm a teacher and I have this set, it's great! The kids love it and enjoy the positive comments. I highly recomend it for teachers.

Best Deals for Melissa & Doug Deluxe Classroom Stamp Set

I bought this set about a year ago, and already the ink in the stamp pad is dry (I've kept it closed and hardly used it, so I attribute it to quality). The colored pencils are pretty much useless (they barely write), and the stickers are tiny and only one sheet (of 12, I think?). There aren't even enough stickers to give to every student in a typical classroom!

The rubber stamps are high quality, but geared for younger children... which is why I'm confused about the "frowny face," because most teachers of young children know that drawing frown faces on children's papers is not best practices (it's not constructive). If you buy this set, you need to ask yourself if four or five decent, cute stamps are worth your money the rest of the set is pretty much useless, and you will have to buy a new inkpad soon.

This stencil set contains a lot of very popular stencil designs. They are easy to use, and easy to replace into booklet and reuse. The adhesive is very sticky and the first couple of uses requires care in peeling it off. I gave it four stars instead of five because a couple of stencils ripped in the center when removed from the page due to being attached by only a small piece of stencil. So use care when peeling them off the page. Price was good and would purchase it again.

pretty good, they last about 5 sprays each sticker tattoo, they are also a bit hard to take out of the book and some of them tear, but of course the day i used them every little girl wanted the butterfly and it did not last.

so i would def not call these reusable.

but they still worked good
