Karen, the Founder of Plata Chalkboards making an outdoor porch chalkboard sign with Plata, her daughters stuffed platypus

Meet Plata❤️

Plata, a very well-loved purple stuffed platypus and my daughter's go-everywhere best friend. Our products, like Plata, are one-of-a-kind and fun that bring joy wherever they go!

L O V E!

To say that I love my Plata Chalkboard would be an understatement. I enjoy being able to create the signs I want, when I want, with whatever message I want. I’ve had my sign for over two years and am constantly getting comments on just how cool it is. Now my two year old loves to “help mama” make signs too! Soon enough she will have her own! BONUS: the Facebook group is an amazing place to share signs, ideas, and cheer each other’s creativeness on!

Porch Sign

My Mama gifted me the large porch sign for Christmas. It is such a great gift! My daughter (10) helped me decorate it right away! I think we will be fighting over who gets to draw on it next! ;) I love how it is completely customizable and easy to decorate. She gave me a few of the stencil bundles to go with it as well. I love all the options and I’m already thinking what I can put on it next. It is very high quality, but not so heavy that I can’t handle it myself.

So much easy fun!

These boards are so much fun and easy to use. Can’t wait to change it month after month!

Fun Chalk Board

I just purchased a new home and I was super excited to get this board. Now I can have fun creating signs for all the changing seasons and social events. Cant wait to draw again.

Porch chalkboard sign

I loved that I can do this myself without investing in some fancy machine! I had fun creating my own saying for the season and it was so easy to do! I love it!!

Love love love it

Hi Julia! Thank you!! I really 🩷 it, too!

Delivery and Product are great. Our nieces loved the gift.

Easy To Be Creative

The kit gives you everything you need. Works as described. Lets you craft your own original porch sign with a personal touch.

Chalkboard

Love it! Love it! Love it!

I love your product!

I have bought all of the boards and every size and font of the letters that Plata sells and love all of them. Christmas decorating is now inside and outside using their products.
