Total Time 1 hour
Ages school-age
Table your constant stream of morning reminders with this clever place mat, which allows kids to take responsibility for their own must-dos.
What you'll need
- Decorative paper
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- 18- by 12-inch sheet of poster board
- Markers
- Clear Con-Tact paper (or have it laminated at a copy shop)
- Nontoxic dry-erase marker
- Adhesive-backed Velcro dot
How to make it
Cut three 6- by 12-inch rectangles from decorative paper. Use a glue stick to affix them side by side onto the poster board.
Write a "Do at Home" checklist on the left rectangle and a "Take to School" checklist on the right one (leave a few blank spaces at the bottom of each list for write-in reminders).
Have the place mat laminated at a copy shop or cover it with clear Con-Tact paper. Your child can use a nontoxic dry-erase marker to check off items or write additional reminders. Affix an adhesive-backed Velcro dot to keep the marker in a handy spot on the mat.
