Halloween Themed Dry Erase Board Idea
Here's an easy Halloween DIY to try with kids this year. It won't cost you a thing because you likely already have all the materials you need to make your own. It's a Halloween dry erase board for quick notes, thoughts, and doodles during spooky season.
Kids can make these from start to finish on their own. But it's a quick little project for adults as well - no kids required.
Yield: 1 dry erase board
Cost: $0 - $5
Equipment
- Scissors
Materials
- cardboard
- clear packing tape
- crayons, colored pencils, or paint
- googly eyes (optional)
- dry erase marker
Instructions
Paint.
- Paint or color a piece of cardboard in a solid color.
Cut out.
- Then cut the cardboard into the shape that you want the finished piece to be. Circle for pumpkin, rectangle for Frankenstein, etc.
Cover in packing tape.
- Next, cover the entire shape with strips of clear packing tape. And cut off any excess that doesn’t seamlessly wrap around the sides.
Add details.
- Add googly eyes, if desired, and it's all done. Use dry erase markers to write notes, draw jack-o-lantern faces, and more. Use a cloth to wipe it all away and start again.
Notes
Make it Big
On a larger scale, I could picture this idea working in a classroom setting too. With a big piece of cardboard that teachers and students can write notes on for the season. Would be kind of fun!
Not a teacher? I still think making a giant Halloween dry erase board would be cool for the house. Would make a statement, that's for sure.
