Exclusive Tip: Dry Erase Markers Are Your Friend

From love notes on the mirror to countdowns on the window, dry erase markers can be used on a variety of glass surfaces, and the best part is how easy it is to clean up!

Recently, we've been writing our girls morning chores and school tasks on the window in colored marker. They can easily see what needs to be done each day and they get to have fun wiping off the items they complete as well!

Here are a few other ideas for dry erase markers:

Solve math problems on the window
Practice spelling words on the patio door
Draw seasonal murals on windows
Color on glass doors or windows as a fun rainy day activity
Put activity sheets in page protectors for reusable fun
Jot down notes and ideas on glass shower walls
