When I first started giving my child worksheets, I knew I didn’t want her writing directly in the books, I wanted to be able to use them for my other children when the time came. So, I resorted to making copies out of each book. Immediately I realized how much paper and ink I was wasting, as they were only thrown away once completed. There had to be a better way!

And then I discovered it. All you need is a plastic sheet protector, and a low-odor dry erase marker. Cut one side of the sheet protector so that it easily slides over the worksheet in your book, and let your child fill in the answers with a dry erase marker. Then, when she is done with the worksheet, simply erase the markings and slide the plastic sheet off and onto the next page.

Genius!
