The Mom I Want to Be

 

a wooden board (I got mine from Michaels & it is sanded with beveled edges for about $2)

black spray paint

pony tail holders

lots of push pins

graph paper

pen/pencil

hammer

 

 

Spray paint the board and let dry.  Using a pencil, mark off a grid template, about 1.5” apart on your graph paper.  Lay the paper on the board.  If desired you can tape it down to secure it.  Using a push pin, press into the points of your grid pattern, deep enough to score the wood.  Remove graph paper and insert pushpins into all the holes, using the hammer to ensure a firm grip.  Now your child can use the pony tail holders to make shapes on her new geo board!
