The Next Generation of Dry-Erase...

Here's something someone should have thought of long ago!

If you're a parent of a child over the age of 2 or 3, you then most likely know the benefit of products such as write-on/wipe-off mats or the ubiquitous Color Wonder series from Crayola (http://www.crayola.com/).

Now, however, we can welcome products by the Board Dudes to this realm of "thank the dear, sweet Lord someone came up with this" ideas. Check out http://www.boarddudes.com/ for their complete line.

But there's also a simpler route: visit your local Staples store. It was there that I found some of their great (and educational!) dry-erase mats for learning cursive writing, doing ABC's, doodling, playing hangman.... They also have some great high-school- and college-kid things (for lockers, etc.): foam boards, message boards, locks, organizers...

For the rest of us, they have weekly organizers, cork boards, magnetic boards--all worth a look. One of my faves is their Seagrass bulletin board--for when you're tired of looking at cork!
