    What a great idea. And there are plenty of curbside cribs, as nobody is allowed to resell old dropside cribs anymore.

    Great idea, but where do you get the chalkboard that fits

    LaDonna, you use the panel already on the crib side and paint it with chalkboard paint and turn it into a chalkboard :)

    What Julie said : ) LaDonna, because it was old and a bit weathered, the pieces actually came apart very easily. I disassembled it and spray painted the center panel (both sides) with chalkboard paint. Lightly sanded the outer "frame" pieces and painted them. I popped it all back together, securing it with some wood glue-and that's it. I should have said all this in my original post, sorry!
