What I wanted to achieve was to create something that can be used over and over, and also something that my child can have fun with when getting a reward. And I thought to myself, "What child doesn't love to play with magnets?" and so that's what I decided to make: a magnetic reward board.
Materials used: dry-erase magnetic board, magnets (I found mine at the craft section at Walmart), Mod Podge, brush, scrapbook papers, 1" circle punch, decorative letter stickers, foam flower stickers
Coat the dry-erase board with Mod Podge, then place the scrapbook paper (design side out) over the board and smooth out.
Mod Podge the sides and adhere one side at a time to create clean corners.
Punch out the circles to be used as a "chart" and Mod Podge them onto the board. Use decorative letter stickers (or even your beautiful handwriting) to label or personalize the board and Mod Podge any other decoration onto the it.
Coat the entire board with Mod Podge for protective finish.
Put
the foam stickers onto the magnets for decoration and easy grabbing for
little fingers. Make sure to create more magnets than there are spaces
on the chart, as small objects tend to disappear quickly in children's
rooms.
Here is the finished product!

That means she gets to go shopping for a toy... $5 or less! =)
