Multicolor Chalk Sets

Make bright, distinctive marks with this rainbow-hued chalk. It wipes away clean.

Premium Chalk—The chalk mathematicians clamor for because it’s denser, more vibrant, and cleaner to use than any other chalk. With three times the density of standard chalk, this chalk lasts longer and breaks less often. It’s also compression molded and heat treated to produce minimal dust as you write or erase. The vivid color stands out, but not on your hands—each stick is coated to keep chalk off your fingers.
