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.
