Before you know it, the kids will be back at school tackling the 2012 curriculum.
Here is an ideal task board project that can help students and parents keep track of what needs to be done on a daily basis.
You will need:
Memo boards
Craft paint
Paintbrushes and foam rollers
Ribbon and decorative trim
Sticky dots
Craft scissors
Plenty of newspaper
Here's how:
1. Paint each memo board in a different colour.
It's nice to let the kids choose their own colours to personalise their boards.
Pour a small amount of craft paint into a tray, or onto a small plate, and let the kids roll on the paint.
Back to school tip:
Make sure that you cover countertops and tables with plenty of newspaper.
2. Use a printer and clear self-adhesive paper to print out tasks.
If you can't source clear self-adhesive paper, use any sticky paper, or print on plain paper and stick onto the board.
3. Wrap the memo boards with strips of decorative ribbon and trim.
Use sticky dots to fasten everything in place.
Each child can decorate their own unique memo board - they can even use a few scrap booking embellishments for an extra special touch.
4. Cut out or buy pre-cut vinyl circles for each task board.
If you use a whiteboard marker you can tick or cross off each task and then wipe clean for the next week.
