First project isn't something I can take credit for. I found the idea Here at the Trendy treehouse and loved it so much I knew I had to make one.
On the clothespins are your kids names. If they do something good...they get to move up. If they do something naughty...they have to move down a color. Sounds easy enough.
I put a starting point in mine...or my kids would never get out of the TROUBLE ZONE! Once you hit the bottom..you lose a privilege (no batman xbox) and once you hit the top you get a treat (?)
I attached the paper onto a piece of cardboard to just make it a little more durable...and then laminated it.
Oh, added a magnet to the back.
(recycled magnet...recycled cardboard)
Now here's hoping it works!!!!
I am so addicted to your blog....every post I read I am like hey I could totally do that!!! I am now a follower !!
ReplyDeleteYay!!!! I can comment!!! LOL Hope that this works for you. I will be making one for my house.
ReplyDeleteBTW I <3 your header. I would never have thought of that.
We have faces - a smiley face at the top (everyone starts the day here), under that is a straight face, then a squiggly face, and a sad face at the bottom. Each move of the clothespin has its consequences. My 4-year-old does not want her clothespin moved! I borrowed this idea from my son's school. The K&1st grade teachers have plywood faces on stands and a clothespin for each child.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteI think you need to quit posting for a while so I can catch up and make all the stuff!!!! OR we need to have a WHOLE Saturday that is totally kidless and get craftin! ;)
