Dry Erase Activity Book

Amy loves to color. She really likes chalk. But since I don't want to spend all my days on the back patio I needed to make her something she could color inside. My sister showed me this super cool tutorial on Dry Erase Activity Books. I thought it was a great idea so I got busy and made her one. I used an 8x8 scrapbook since I had one on hand.

I found some washable dry erase markers (brilliant!) and velcroed them to the front cover.

Here is a look at some of the fun pages inside:

I used quite a few of the ladies pages that she had posted on her tutorial but also came up with some other ideas of my own. Here are some of them:

Amy found the dry erase markers earlier today and HAD to play with them. So I pulled out of my "to do" pile an ABC book that I had started years ago. She liked it so much I should probably finish it. But now she has a really fun activity book that can keep her busy so this one can go back on the shelf. :) *She has pretty sweet coloring skills huh. :)

This idea really is ingenious and would be great for long car trips or plane rides. You can put games like tic-tac-toe, hangman, word puzzles, mazes, traveling bingo, I spy's, sudokus, etc. If you have older kids they could play with each other and entertain themselves. You can really tailor them to your kids interests and ages. It was a great find and was actually a lot of fun to make.
