This chalk is just so-so. My son has tried it on his chalk board and it is very faint. The colors are not bright and you have to press harder to get it to write on a traditional chalkboard. No one in the family likes this chalk.

I teach math at the university level and love to use colors when lecturing. It makes notes and diagrams pop, and makes it easier for the students to learn. However, I go monochrome when my only option is Crayola chalk. The colors look washed out and are hard to distinguish. Good chalk writes smoothly. Crayola doesn't. The final nail in the coffin is the fact that it doesn't erase well. I have to scrub the blackboard to get this junk to erase.

This chalk does not work on chalkboards. I didn't buy this chalk on this site, but I thought I'd write a review so people weren't tempted to purchase. I bought the chalk for a mere .99 cents, but even at that price, it was not worth it. It does not write on chalkboards. You can't see the drawn lines, let alone to color in a picture on a chalkboard as a lot of kids like to do. Maybe this will work on cement, but there are much bigger and sturdier sidewalk chalks for that. It's as if the chalk itself does not have the right properties in it. I have chalk from when I was a kid, over 30 years ago, that works perfectly. I don't know if it's Crayola or all "new" chalk, but definitely, don't buy this Crayola brand!

The chalk shipped very fast, I received it within 4 days. There were three pieces broken, but its not for anything really special and they will still work broken. It writes like I thought 2 dollar chalk would. Over all I am pretty pleased with this buy. Very fast shipping and almost all of them were in one piece! Would recomend for children crafts.

I personally wouldn't have bought this because of the horrible reviews. My kids received this chalk as a gift with an easel for Christmas, and it doesn't work AT ALL on the chalk board. I had some Prang white chalk on hand, and that worked great. I'll be buying the Prang colored chalk.

Price reduction after I place my order, just one day, hope the price will keep stability.
