We are excited to try chalk pastel as an art form. It’s one artistic style that I don’t even know where to begin!
ALL OF THEM. Is that an answer? I’ve loved them all. I also liked the minions and other fun ones I ran across this summer. I didn’t know you had a youtube channel. I’ll go investigate that one!
Yay! Yes, we have more tutorials in the works for the YouTube channel. Such fun!
I just found your blog through the homeschool giveaway so I haven’t tried any of the art tutorials yet but can’t wait to look into them! 🙂 thanks for the giveaway!
I just started looking into these and they all look so great! I watched Nana’s tutorial on the Golden Gate Bridge and was facinated! My oldest would really enjoy these. Saving for a nice gift for Christmas. Winning the basket would be a fantastic start of course!
My son absolutely loved the Shark ebook on chalk pastels that we did last year for school. Thank you for a great giveaway. I am so thankful that I found your site and the purchases I have made from you.
They all look like fantastic resources!
My favorite so far has been the Golden Gate Bridge. I have chalk on my “to buy” list. Hope to win!
Kids loved the sharks one! Great giveaway!
We’ve only watched a couple so far (didn’t want to overwhelm me or the boys! Lol). The boys really want to try the spider. That’s probably what we’re going to do this week.
We would love a chance to win! I love the easy projects and the chalk is easy to work with!
We all did “A Path to the Beach” and loved it!!!!
We haven’t done one, yet, but I bought chalk pastels for all the kids. I also bought frames to frame one piece from each child in a corner of our school room. I can’t wait! It will look fabulous!!
Oh what a wonderful idea! I hope you will share a picture if you get a chance!
Pinned on Pinterest!!
We haven’t done one yet…but my daughter LOVES chalk pastels so we are excited to try your tutorials!
This looks like fun! I would love to win this gift basket!
Sharks! Kids loved it!
Have not done one yet. Looking at doing chalk pastels
Flowers
I haven’t tried any of the tutorials, but it is nice knowing there is an art source I can go to for my artistic child!
Well we have never done chalk pastels before so I think we would love the beginner’s book.
I love your free tutorials!
I love the Christmas Presents Under the Tree.
I want to try so many of them…Seashore is one of them! I want to learn this art technique WITH my kids!
My favorite is American Landmarks book.
We have enjoyed so many tutorials. The ones that stick out the most are the bird nest and the Christmas ornament.
We have tried the bird’s nest and Colombus’ ships.
I love the Tangled Lights tutorial!!
We haven’t done this one yet but I thought it would be a fun one to do this winter (we live in ND) to remind us of the warm, lakeshore days of summer! https://www.yourbesthomeschool.com/2012/06/sailboat-at-sunset-a-chalk-pastels-tutorial/
The Tornado tutorial looks like something my kids would LOVE!
i love all of the tutorials!
My favorite book is the American landmarks. I don’t think I can pick out just one from there.
I like the umbrella one. It is even easy enough for me to do!
I have liked all the tutorials I have seen — they are a great way to get art into every home!
I have just discovered your site, but can’t wait to try the shark one!
We’re new to chalk pastels so I’d be most interested in the getting started book.
We have never tried any of the art lessons here. That being said, we will be this coming year! I was actually looking for an art subject for the new school year! Thanks!
San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge
Well we haven’t tried any yet, but we have looked and are excited! We are going to give it a go this year and see if we like pastels or if we just like doing whatever we choose for the day. The great thing is that pastels and paper are reasonably priced, albeit messy. Thanks for this awesome giveaway! 🙂
I am excited for you Shari! And here are some tips for dealing with the chalk mess – to encourage you! https://www.yourbesthomeschool.com/2013/10/but-chalk-pastels-get-everywhere/
I just found your site and I’m very intrigued! My daughter loves art so much! There is so much to look through but I thought the seahorse youtube tutorial would be so great to start with! Thanks for the giveaway!
We have not tried any yet, but just looked and many look very exciting. The bird’s nest tutorial looks fun. We look forward to learning from your site!!
I love the spring chalk where you teach drawing the nest. Awesome!
So many great tutorials to do with the kids! I had a very hard time picking one favorite but my son says his is the Tree Reflection
Fall chalk pastels – I love fall!
Great tutorials….my favorite is the Fall Walk in the Woods. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!!
I haven’t even looked through it yet! I am brand new@
I have had my eye on your chalk pastel curriculum for a while.Our favorite is the pumpkin tutorial. We love anything pumpkin here.
I love the fall chalk pastel idea!! We are just starting to get into art in our homeschool
I like the Christmas Chalk Pastel Book
I haven’t tried any tutorials yet, but my kids are fascinated with things about the American Flag so I think they would love that tutorial.
I haven’t had a chance to try one yet, but it looks like fun. 🙂
Am excited to try your chalk art books! Thank you!
Can’t wait for my daughter to try a tutorial.
We have recently started doing chalk art & we are loving it! Your tutorials are wonderful, the kids love Nana. We just did the tornado and beach umbrella tutorials today.
Oh yay!! Those are two of our all-time favorites. Happy chalking 🙂
We haven’t tried any tutorials yet but after looking through them, we will do “All Blue” first!!
I like the Art at the Beach book best.
I have not tried chalk pastel yet but I am so looking forward to digging in 🙂
We have not tried any of the tutorials yet, but a book would make it so much easier for us!
Wow! Love all the wonderful choices. It was hard to choose, but I think one of my top favorites is the waterfalls. It looks so professional, yet I might actually be able to do it. My daughters are doing art projects to enter into the fair in September. I will definitely be showing them these chalk pastels options to use for one of their art projects. Thanks!
We love them all!
To the Woods looks like something we would enjoy.
We like the sharks one!!!! I have a son and of course being a boy that’s just awsome!
We love the Bird’s Nest Tutorial. The girls love these art lessons.
I haven’t tried one yet, but I’d really like to try the Lavender and the Impressionism tutorials.
We live in Florida so Art Pastels at the Beach would be our personal favorite chalk art book.
My daughter and I love chalk pastel media and your tutorials! 🙂
I have not used any of the tutorials. But I would love to try the bird nest one. We LOVE birds & art!
We did a liberty bell and love it!
We liked the one with the spider. In truth, it helped my children to scheme posters for a contest this summer. Now they are excited to do more with the pastels we have left that my youngest did not try to feed the birds or the alligator in the toilet. ( To be clear, that gator is only imaginative, but he gets fed a lot by a certain little guy. Sigh. Working on it.)
I haven’t tried any, but art at the beach looks fun. I’m looking for more decorations for our home during the summer and I like it even better when it’s special and homemade 🙂
My daughter is really into drawing nature and landscapes, so the waterfall is our favorite!
The Landmark Books. Thanks for the giveaway.
Marilyn
We liked the ships for Columbus Day and the little red country church 🙂
The Golden Gate Bridge because we live in the Bay Area!
I love the Dogwood tutorial! Thanks!
I like the Minion. 🙂
I’d like to try Art at the Beach.
Sharks!…we love it! Thanks for the awesome giveaway and encouraging art in our home.
We love the apple and pumpkin tutorial – it was super easy and a great confidence booster! PLUS – we love Fall so anything that gets us in the Fall Spirit is a winner!!
My favorite tutorial is Monet’s bridge.
Toothless is the BEST!
Haven’t done any of the tutorials yet, but looking forward to trying some this year w/ 10 y/o DS.
I’m new to your website but I’m really interested in learning more.
We love your book
I have been wanting the chalk pastels books for a while, and the Apologia would be great for science this year!
We haven’t seen the tutorials yet, but I’m excited to get started.
We like too many to pick a favorite. Found you about a year ago and love everything!
Haven’t tried any turorials yet, but it’s on our to-do list! I didn’t realize you had youtube videos. We’re going to check those out first. ?

Art for All Ages: Chalk Pastels Through the Seasons. We love all your books and tutorials!
I’m looking forward to incorporating these into our curriculum this school year.
The “apple or pumpkin” one seem to be the perfect place to start.
