    For those using white boards, don't you worry about the marker getting on things? Or do you use washable markers? Don't know if those work on white boards?

      I use crayons on the white boards, less smearing.

        I use regular dry erase markers. The kiddos only mark on the boards. They must stay seated at the table with the markers and the boards.

          I remember LOVING to color as a kid and my dck's really enjoy it too. It gives me an excuse to buy coloring books in every possible character, .
          This is a good idea; I've been wondering what I could do with the kiddos after cleaning up in the afternoon. Right now we don't clean up because I don't see the point (they just screw it all up again; my DD is the only one who 'gets' cleaning).

            Doesn't anybody stock up on the .15 notebooks at back-to-school time? I'm going to use these, as someone in another post mentioned awhile back, then each child will get their own notebook to color in until they use it up and it's on 15 cents! May not look so pretty with the lines, but I'm sure the kids could get over it. I also like coloring books though, but do like the 2 page limit per day. They still add up in cost even at a buck a piece.

              Yep I do. Each bigger child gets their own and is free to use it as wanted/needed. We also have blank paper, colored blank paper, and construction paper all up for grabs.

              I also stock up on packs of markers, crayons, glue sticks, regular glue, and whatever else strikes my fancy!
