When my kids were young I created a list of things to do. This list contained things to do inside our home and outside in our backyard. Using a picture frame and a dry erase marker we made it reusable!
Create the To Do List
Create your To-Do list on your computer. Make a list of things you like to do indoors and outdoors at home.
Create your own or Buy this printable for $1 – you’ll be taken to a PDF you can download and print.
Place in a picture frame
Grab a picture frame that holds a regular sheet of paper. Or you can cut your printable to size.
Place your printable in the picture frame.
How To Use/Reuse
Grab a dry erase marker. Cross off the items you’ve done. You can use different colors for the kids so that they can take turns picking.
Erase & Reuse
When you’re ready, erase all the dry erase marker and you can start over again.
Place your list somewhere easily accessible so that the kids can reference it whenever they want.
This works great for CHORES too 😉

What a clever idea, it’d be great for a chore chart too.
Thank you Pamela, and that’s another great idea!
It’s a good idea to keep the list on hand! Different activities will appeal to kids at different times.
Thank you so much Michele
Brilliant! thanks so much for sharing on craft schooling Sunday!
Thank you so much Sara – it came in so handy when my kids were younger.
Great idea to make the list reusable! Helps with those “there’s nothing to do” claims!
Thank you so much Rebecca – and it was so great as my kids were growing up to just say … go look at the list 🙂
This is a great idea and I love that it is reusable! Sometimes my mind goes blank, so it would be great to have something like this to remind me of options for fun things to do with my son!
Thank you Elena, and it really came in handy with my kids when they were younger. I simply said, go take a look at the list.
