We've gone through our fair share of reward charts, sticker charts, chore charts, etc... This time I wanted something that would last, and something that wasn't completely an eye sore.
In come Pinterest!! As usual, I combined several ideas to make something that would fit our family best. (Because really, that's what Pinterest is for.. right?)
I really liked the idea of a magnet board, so that it is reusable. I also like the look of wood and chalkboards. So here's what I came up with!!
Making it was super easy! Here is what I used:
-An old cookie sheet
-1 can of chalkboard spray paint (I also used chalk markers..)
-1 pack of small round, adhesive backed magnets
-1 pack of wood circles (they call them nickels?)
-Wax paper
-Printer
-Google
-Imagination!
I sprayed my cookie sheet and drew my lines and letters. Then, meaning a week later, I got on my computer and designed the "buttons". Once they were all designed, I placed the magnets on the wood circles and printed the designs (flipped) on wax paper (I taped my wax paper to regular paper to keep the wax paper from rolling). After I had my designs printed out, I cut each design and carefully placed each individually on a circle. (***Be careful for this.. once you place the design, DON'T MOVE IT! it will smudge like crazy) Once the design is placed on the circle, press firmly on the design until the design is properly transferred.
Voila! Done!
