Magic Marker fun

Looking for a cool way to help your kiddo with their sight words, math facts or anything needing memorization. Tired of flashcards???

Check out this "magic trick" you child will LOVE! My favorite OT gave me the idea for this and I thought I'd pass it along.

All you need is:
A permanent marker
A Sharpie
A Q-tip
and
Something covered in aluminium foil ( this is a VHS tape- FINALLY a use for those honkers!)

First, have your child write the desired word or problem with Permanent marker. Be sure to supervise, I'm sure you don't want their work permanently on your table cloth or clothes!

Next have the child GO OVER the Sharpie with the Expo marker

Then have them use the Q-tip to trace the writing again. The Q-tip will erase the writing and your child has now practiced the word, problem,etc. THREE times! :) Plus using the different sized instruments will help their grip! BONUS!

Word erased:

You can wipe it to get the excess off and try a new word! 

Hope you enjoyed this post. I love finding fun ways for kiddos to practice and learn!

If you liked this, please share or share your experiences or ideas!

Thanks!
