Review on Black Tabletop Desktop Pocket Chart With Bonus 20X Dry Erase Cards. Double Sided And Self-Standing (13 X 12Inch) by Sri Wells

Getting my money’s worth

I have a preschool aged child who doesn’t actually learn anything at school (mind blowing, right!?! What am I paying for exactly? Oh right, crummy snacks and some playtime at a park.). But I digress. I needed a pocket chart for some home schooling activities and don’t have the room for something large and didn’t want to spend too much money on something that might not have worked for my kid (we’re talking 3 yr old here, likes and dislikes change before breakfast is over). I’ve put this chart board to good use and here are my findings:1. When open, it stands 12 inches high which is a good height for desk or table top use, even for a very young child.2. It folds in the bottom center and appears to just be cardboard or card stock or something inside to keep its form. It is very lightweight and folds easily but can be a little flimsy in the standing up. If you were really playing around or moving it, it could potentially collapse. However, it’s definitly sturdy enough that you can use it regularly and it stays in place just fine. My 2 and 3 yr old both use it without knocking it over.3. The pockets have held up in place even with my little ones pulling and jamming cards in them. We’ve been using this multiple times a day for over a month now.4. Bigger flash cards will fit in the pockets but will probably be so tall they’ll block any cards in pockets above them. I have cut a 3 by 5 notecard in half to reduce height (and because I’m cheap) and using that for my notes in the pockets. I wanted more permanent notes than using the dry erase sheets it came with so hence the notecards usage.5. The dry erase sheets seem fine. They fit nicely and work as expected. They’re like a glossy cardstock essentially.Based on how frequently I’m using this, I’m definitely glad I made this purchase. I think it fits my needs perfectly. I would recommend it to others looking for a small pocket chart.

Pros
  • I really like it for my preschool class. The third row is a little too lose.
Cons
  • This is a lot smaller than it looks on the pictures. Could barely hold one row of 4x6 pictures.
