Hello Everyone, I’m Chelsea from One Hot Crafty-Mama. My husband is in medical school and the Army. I am lucky enough to be able to stay at home with my daughter, and baby #2 is coming in the next month. I started the blog to share projects that I do when my husband is studying late at night. I love to read, play with my daughter, play the piano and flute as well as being crafty. Feel free to stop by my blog and see what other projects I have going on. Meanwhile enjoy this one!!
My daughter loves doing workbooks and worksheets. When she first started she said that she was doing her homework, because Daddy was in the other room doing homework for school. I did some researching and found this website, First-School Preschool Activities and Crafts. It has all kinds of stuff, but they also had different worksheets with the alphabet, so I printed two different sheets for each letter and put them in a three ring binder in sheet protectors. You can use dry erase markers on sheet protectors and wipe them right off when you are done, its perfect! My daughter LOVES it and I made another one with a couple of preschool workbooks I bought so then I can use them over and over. She pulls them out all of the time.

April 25, 2011 at 10:25 pmThat is a cute idea. My girls go through so much paper it’s ridiculous.

December 20, 2012 at 3:36 amWe did something similar to this when our son had some reading difficulties. It wasn’t exactly DiY, but those prepared worksheets we bought sure did the trick. Now he reads and writes like a little machine.

August 3, 2017 at 2:03 pmJust regular sheet protectors? I noticed stores have new dry erase sheet protectors, but they are pricey.
