WIPEABLE PAINTING BOARD

This at home activity for kids just made my list of top sensory play ideas! It is definitely my all time favorite use for cardboard and it happens to be the easiest to make too. Oh! And let’s not forget you can make out of recyclable cardboard which just adds to the list of amazing things about it!

I had been wanting to make makeup boards for my kids for the longest time but wanted to make them reusable. So, I covered the cardboard with tape and BAM! magic happened! You can erase and use it over and over again, plus it allows for mistakes to be wiped out and easily fixed. I find it is so satisfying to clean up the areas painted outside the lines, makes it perfect for makeup corrections.

What would you draw for your little one?
