Today's Make it Work is Chalk Board Paint! Chalk Board Paint can be used for more than just a child's art surface. You can use Chalk Board Paint to:

*Make an Outdoor Art Surface
Paint a piece of plywood with chalk board paint, attach it to a fence or lean it up against a tree or the house, hang a bucket of chalk and let the kids go to town "chalking"! The rain will wash it off so they get a clean board or you can was it off with the garden hose.

*Lists
Paint cupboard doors, inside or out, pantry or closet doors, even walls to use for lists. You can write meals plans, shopping lists, to-do lists, etc.

*Calendars
Paint any surface, as large or small as you'd like, draw in calendar lines and you can change the dates and events each month with just a wet wipe!

*Table Tops
Paint tables to make scenery for train tracks, lego's or even dolls.

*Serving Tray's
Paint a plain serving tray with chalk board paint and use it to label cheese's, crackers, meats, etc.

*Glasses
Paint it on glasses to use as a label to keep track of each person's glass. Provide a piece of chalk for guests or family members to write their name's on! No more mixing up glasses.

*Labels
Paint a little chalk board paint on boxes, bins, baskets, etc to label what's inside! Cheap, won't fall off and can change the contents just by wiping the label clean and rewriting the contents.
