Cindy from California
Made a magnetic whiteboard checklist:
“Our boards are up! Thank you! My kids love the magnets.
I bought these boards:
Board Dudes Metalix Magnetic Dry Erase Board 8.5 x 11 Inches (DDT37) (click here)
Then I bought these removable hanging strips so I could put them on our wall:
Command Picture Hanging Strips Value Pack, Medium, White, 12-Pairs (17204-12ES) (click here)
We added a bottom row for After School to-dos. My kids wrote their name and decorated as they chose. (My daughter is in Kindergarten, son in 3rd grade). ”
A Teacher from Washington
Made license plate name tags for her classroom
Jordan from Washington used the “Design a License Plate” activity to put each of her students’ names on a license plate to use as name tags in her classroom. What a great back to school idea!
Traci from Colorado
Made a visual VELCRO checklist for kids on the Autism Spectrum
“I know your product was not originally intended for special needs kids, but I just want to say how much I love having it at my fingertips for use with children that are on the Autism spectrum. I’ve made many visual schedules/checklists by slightly modifying your product from its original intended use.
I used the weekly chore chart option to print all the pictures I needed for [my daughter’s] daily schedule, but I wanted movable pieces. Once I printed, I cut the pictures apart to make individual pieces, laminated them, and attached them with velcro. Many of the pieces I used the custom feature to make them more specific.”

Heather from Washington
Made a magnetic checklist using a cookie sheet:
“I went to the local thriftshop and picked up a cookie sheet for $1.00 (I brought a magnet with me to make sure it was magnetic). You can buy yours here. Then, I spray-painted it a bright “you can’t ignore me” yellow and screwed it to the wall.
I am not exaggerating when I say that it worked like magic! Not only are my kids motivated to clear off their “To Do” column, but it is a great reminder for me about what they are supposed to have done. ”

Nicole from Idaho
Made morning and bedtime magnet boards
Check out these magnet boards Nicole from Idaho ordered. I like her idea of using the time of day instead of the child’s name at the top of the board. And her choice of blue for bedtime and rainbow letters for the morning is perfect!
