Greenboard with Double Lines and Squares

Montessori Greenboard with Double Lines and Squares

The Montessori Greenboard with Double Lines and Squares is a purposeful handwriting material that supports the child's transition from chalkboards to paper. Painted with smooth green chalkboard paint, it offers a reusable surface that invites repetition and refinement.

One side of the board is ruled with double horizontal lines, closely resembling the lines used in notebooks. These lines help the child understand the relative height of lowercase and uppercase letters, guiding consistent letter formation. The reverse side features equal squares, supporting number writing, spacing, and early math activities.

Writing on a chalkboard provides tactile feedback and less resistance than paper, making it easier for young children to develop control and confidence. The double lines offer structure, while still allowing freedom of movement — making this board a perfect intermediate step before using small-lined paper.
