Traveling Clip-Board

Pick up a clip-board that opens for storage. Add paper, pencils, crayons*, markers, coloring pages, puzzle pages, stickers, etc..

You can even personalize the outside with stickers, paint or paint markers. I like to personalize the back of the clipboard, so the work area is free of bumps.  This is great for long drives to keep kids entertained.

This is also great for doing homework. When you really think about it – sometimes kids are in the car for a long time between school and activities of their own or their siblings’, they could be getting homework done. This provides a hard surface for doing just that.

*Just remember to bring the clip-board into the house so the crayons don’t melt in the summer heat.

OR you can buy one like the ones pictured HERE

Painted Cast

Making the best of a bad situation – use acrylic paint and markers to dress up a cast like his/her favorite super hero. Here we have Buzz Lightyear and Iron Man – who else can you think of? Put your ideas in the comments below.IMG_98996297496563 IMG_98987337061671via pinterest/no link
