Encourage Early Learning with a Personalized Clipboard
Who’s ready for Back to School? It’s fine to admit that Summer needs to last awhile longer, but if you are like me you will still want to prepare for Fall. I love doing projects and Back to School Crafts. I’ve decided to share a quick and easy decorated clipboard that even preschoolers can do! This project is also inexpensive since I bought the clipboards at Walmart for under $2. We own lots of stickers and craft materials, so no expense there. We almost always have Mod Podge on hand for one craft project or another as well.
Basic Supplies:
(I’ve included affiliate links to Amazon to help you find similar products.)
Plain Clipboard
Stickers, Scrapbook Paper, Paint, or Duct Tape
Mod Podge Matte Finish
Paint Brush
Grab your supplies and your child. If you are like us you have a huge stockpile of stickers just waiting to be used! Ask your child to pick which stickers he would like and help peel them if needed. Our stickers are somewhat old, leftover from various birthdays. I had purchased most of them from the dollar store. Start sticking your stickers onto your clipboard as much as you’d like.
Once your child is done decorating the clipboard smooth all the stickers down. Next cover them with Mod Podge to keep them from peeling off. I just used my finger as we went since some stickers weren’t sticky anymore. I will go back over the entire clipboard with Mod Podge once it has been dry for an hour. Then your clipboard is all ready to use.
I hope this gives you a simple and easy craft that you can do with your children, grandchildren, or Sunday school class. If you need to know about the TAX FREE weekend shopping dates for your state hop on over to Something 2 Offer to see if your state is TAX FREE!

This is a cute idea.
I suppose this cute be adapted, with different stickers, for the older student.
Have a great day!
Michelle,
Actually our older students could use scientific measure, parts of speech, or math equation stickers often found at the Dollar Tree right about now. Hope that gives you a way to modify for older student.
How fun for the kids to personalize it!
Yes, it’s so much more fun to have “your own” school stuff like the big kids.
This is a fun and easy DIY project. Thanks for sharing! I also want to invite you to our weekly link up ~ The Art of Home-Making Mondays… Have a wonderful week!
