I got the privilege of reviewing ArtSkills Posterboarding Accessories.
Now I'm not artsy in any way, the last time I made a poster I started with the intention of having the letters centered but they always end up being lopsided and the letters are never the same. So I left the review to my kids to make a great project for Cpl. Mayhem's birthday. His birthday is today so we decided to celebrate it by making a huge poster for him!!
First of all ArtSkills was founded in 1987 as a family owned company in Easton, PA. They started out with their successful Draw Today product, now they make a wide range of poster and project making accessories including jumbo poster markers and poster letters.
I received the Easier, Faster, Better Poster Prize Package. It included:
Neon Quick Letters- Draw attention with these neon colored letters and numbers
Holographic Quick Letters- Add some extra sparkle with these holographic letters
Jumbo Quick Letters-Make a statement with these large, 4-inch letters
Quick Stick Foam Letters- Just peel n’ stick these colorful letters
Eye Catcher Shapes- Spice up your poster with these neon, holographic and peel n’ stick shapes
Fun Borders- Give your poster a professional look with these easy to use borders
Poster Making Idea Book- Get all the information you need to create a successful poster with this idea book
The kids had a blast looking through all the fun shapes and letters! I had a rough time trying to keep them from ripping the packages open!
We chose a message to put on the posted and once we got the letter out of the package I was really impressed to have a post-it like adhesive to the back of letters so you can easily stick the poster and they wouldn't move. If the letters need to be moved or changed before you glue them down you can!
Ducky gave me a hand with glueing them down. The only problem we had with the product was the glue that came in the packages. We didn't find the glue sticky enough.
Once of our personal favorite product was the Poster Flash! These flashing stars were the highlight of the kids poster making experience!
The best part of the Poster Flash stickers is they are reusable. They come with peel n stick foam squares so you can use them over and over again!
Overall their poster making event was a huge success, both kids had a ball making this poster for their daddy's birthday! I think if a two and five year old can figure the ArtSkills poster accessories out. Mom can officially make some posters too!!
So here is the fun part! A GIVEAWAY!!!

We were making a poster for my husband for Father's day using finger paint. My 1 year old decided that walking in the fingerpaint would be more fun. So he walked through the paint on the poster and continued to walk through my house! Thank goodness it was washable!
