My Grandchildren love to write on things, not always paper. While shopping in Staples a couple of months ago, I came across their clearance bin and found these 6″ X 9″ plastic clipboards. They came 2 to a package and were marked $.50. The creative wheels started racing,
“What can I do with these?”
I thought something for the grand kids and
bought 2 packages.
Then I thought they’ll need paper to write on.
I looked around for inexpensive pads
of paper that would fit the clipboard.
Of course I would find paper this was Staples. I found boarded 5″ X 7″ pads for $1.00 each.
I took them home found some fun scrapbook paper in my stash and this is what I came up with.
During Fred Meyer’s before school sale I found 24 pack of crayons for $.47 a box.
Now they have something to write with.
I love bargains and making fun things for Christmas.
This will be a great gift for their stockings at my house.
Check the clearance section where ever you shop you just don’t know what you might find.

What a great idea! When my girls were little they loved to draw, this would have been wonderful for them. I’m going to show it to some friends who might like it. Thanks for sharing
I hope my grand children enjoy them. Thank you for stopping by, come again.
