Well, I ran into someone (Stacy) who came up with a DIY version and I couldn't wait to share the goodness!
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
- bulldog clips or binder clips (the binder clips are cheaper)
- 9 x 12 hardboard panel (Nasco carries one for 75 cents :: Click here)
- You could have boards cut at your local hardware store - but I like having the board's edges already sanded and smooth
Super simple - just attach the clip! Done!
You are ready to go!
I use clipboards for guided drawings, group work, writing. . . . the list goes on!
TIP:
A subscriber, Danielle, wrote me and said she was taking this idea and using it with her white boards. Every student has a white board in their chair pocket. (Check HERE for my DIY White boards) She is going to add a bulldog clip to their white boards - and voila! It doubles as a clipboard! Brilliant! Thank you Danielle!
Beautiful clipboards!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a great craft!
ReplyDeleteWhat gets posted on the clipboards at school?
Do the children get to take their clipboard home at the end of the school year?
Actually - they do take them home at the end of the year and it is such a big deal.
DeleteIn kindergarten - the children love writing on paper clipped to a board - it is mobile that way. They can lay on the carpet and write, sit in a cozy place - so many possibilities!
Fabulous idea. This will be very useful for my homeschool. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGood idea to get different sizes than sold in stores. After much searching, I found standard size clipboards in packs of 2 at Walmart for approx. $4.
