Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions About Writeboards and Accessories

Do Writeboards Worksheets & Busy Books work with my child's tablet?
Yes, they do! Simply install an app that reads PDF documents, then place our PDF files into the app. Need help? Contact us via phone or email for assistance.

What is the Writeboard made out of?
The Writeboard is durable and designed to withstand years of use in classrooms and homes. Its surface resists staining and shadowing, thanks to our proprietary "secret herbs and spices." Writeboards have been in schools for over 16 years now.

Does the Writeboard scratch?
Yes, surface scratches will appear, however, they will not be visible once the Writeboard is placed over the worksheets. Surface scratches do not affect its functionality.

What markers can be used on a Writeboard?
Most whiteboard markers work well, but we recommend testing markers before purchasing in bulk. Avoid Artline markers for younger children as they may require extra effort to erase.

What crayons can be used on the Writeboard?
Crayola dry-erase crayons are highly recommended. They come with a mitt for cleaning, though adding foam inside a sock can make an even better eraser.

What cleaner should I use to clean the Writeboard?
No chemicals are needed. Use a damp micro-fibre cloth for cleaning, followed by a dry one. These cloths can be machine-washed and reused, making them eco-friendly like our Writeboard.

What is the best way to clean a Writeboard?

  • For regular cleaning: Use a damp micro-fibre cloth, then dry with a dry micro-fibre cloth.
  • For tough marks or permanent marker: Trace over the marks with a whiteboard marker, then erase as normal.
  • For watercolour paint: Spray water on the area, wait a minute, then wipe it off with a soft wet cloth.

My child left whiteboard marker on the Writeboard for weeks; it won't come off. What can I do?
Simply go over the old marker with a new whiteboard marker, then erase as usual.
