Design Your Own Dry Erase Boards

Dry erase projects allow children independence and a less frustrating experience if they are unhappy with what the’ve written or drawn. These boards can be designed to fit any theme or unit you are studying. The basic materials include cardboard or canvas, clear contact paper, and cardstock paper.

Try this Jack-O-Lantern Board for October.

Materials: orange and green card stock, a hard piece of cardboard or canvas, scissors and clear contact paper

Directions:
1. Start by drawing a basic pumpkin shape on your orange paper.
2. Cut it and a green stem out and place on your canvas or cardboard.
3. Cover with clear contact paper.
4. Have children make faces on the Jack-O-Lantern with a dry erase marker.

For fall, draw a tree pattern and have children add apples or leaves.
