If you are looking for a simple and effective way to save time and get organized before the school year starts, we have just the solution! With a few simple supplies you can pick up from your local dollar store, you can create a custom menu board that your family will love. It may even help reduce your grocery spending!

Supplies:
Cookie sheet (you can even use round or square sheets)
Paint your cookie sheet with the spray or craft paint of your choice
Attach one large disc magnet at each corner of the cookie sheet to hang it on any magnetic surface such as a refrigerator
Make a menu by writing each day of the week on your paper
Glue your picture frame on the cookie sheet with your days of the week menu pictured inside
Paint two cups or small craft containers and glue a small disc magnet to the back of each container
Write meal options on your popsicle sticks and separate them into two categories: one for dining in and one for eating out
Place the popsicle sticks inside of each respective container
Glue a small disc magnet to the back of your dry erase marker(s)
Personalize your board with stickers or stencils
And finally - get cooking!
Not only does this crafty menu board save your sanity, but it also makes a great DIY gift idea for friends and family!
