Dry Erase To-Do List

I have been seeing picture frame dry erase boards all over blogland lately and I decided to expand on that idea and create a dry erase checklist! I started out with this document sized frame from dollar tree:


Then I just spray painted the frame red, printed out my son's to-do list (including pictures of each task since he can't read yet), and added a 1" border from scrapbook paper. Now he can see what he needs to do each day (without me having to remind him!), check things off as they are completed, and then just wipe it away and start over the next day!


As requested, I know have one you can print out for yourself! I will look into making it available as a document download but for now, you should be able to right click the photo below, save it and then print it.


Of course, this can be used for adults too. Just print out your daily, weekly, and/or monthly cleaning tasks, menu planning, etc. The best part is that as tasks change, all you have to do is print out a new page!

  5. Great idea! I love how you can personalize it any way you want! I need this for our weekly menu - inevitably, that little sheet of paper I have written meals on gets lost, and then I have no clue what I am 'supposed' to be making for the week! :)

  16. Oh, that is so great! I have a very nice list for each of my kids inside our pantry and their rooms that they have to follow each day with chores and their morning schedule. This would probably even be more fun for them to "check" things off. Love to organize things, so this is a winner to me! Dropping by from "We're Organized" Wednesday.
