Is your child struggling with focus, big feelings, or needing a safe space to express themselves?

As parents, we often hear phrases like:

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. The solution? Often it starts with setting up the right environment — one that is calm, inviting, and full of tools that naturally support expression, learning, and emotional growth.

Enter the LUULA semi-transparent acrylic whiteboard – a beautifully simple, multi-functional surface that brings together creativity, mindfulness, and developmental benefits in one child-centered design.


Why the LUULA Whiteboard Is So Special

Crafted from durable, safe 5 mm thick acrylic, this board can be:

Pair it with vibrant chalk markers, and you have a surface that inspires children to draw, express, learn, and imagine — again and again.


7 Creative Play Ideas for Calm, Focused, and Curious Kids

Let’s explore easy, purposeful activities you can start right away using your LUULA whiteboard at home.


1. Trace & Learn

Tape letters, numbers, shapes, or your child’s name behind the semi-transparent board. Let your child trace over them with chalk markers to build hand control, confidence, and early writing skills — all without pressure.

Supports: pre-writing skills, fine motor development, concentration


2. Feelings Board

Invite your child to draw facial expressions to show how they feel today — happy, sad, angry, unsure? Erase and try again as feelings change. You can model by drawing your own too.

Supports: emotional literacy, communication, empathy


3. Light & Shadow Storytime

Place figures or cut-outs behind a backlit board (use a flashlight or lamp). Let your child create a scene and tell a story using the shadows they see. Works beautifully in both horizontal and vertical setups.

Supports: storytelling, sequencing, imaginative thinking


4. Sand or Salt Art

Spread a thin layer of fine sand or salt across the flat whiteboard. Shine light from below and draw with fingers to reveal glowing lines. It’s magical, quiet, and mesmerizing.

Supports: sensory regulation, visual focus, creativity


5. Daily Rituals

Use the board each morning to draw the weather, write the date, or create a theme of the day (like “insects” or “colors”). It sets a tone and gives structure to the day.

Supports: routine building, awareness of time and nature


6. Nature Tracing

Collect leaves, petals, or feathers. Place them behind the board and trace their outlines with markers. Talk about their textures, patterns, and names.

Adjustable height and multifunctionality make the set for sensory play and learning throughout the preschool and primary school period – from the age of 18 months to the adolescent age. As a bonus, the set includes a transparent acrylic board and a roll of paper

Supports: scientific observation, curiosity about nature, mindfulness


7. Free Expression Zone

Sometimes, the best activity is no plan at all. Let your child lead — scribble, doodle, create abstract art, or even decorate the board for seasonal holidays. No rules, just expression.

Supports: autonomy, stress relief, decision making
