Build a Learning Station
You will need a three sided pegboard panel. Pegboard is sold in local hardware or lumber stores. Ask the store to cut three 16 inch square panels. The panels can be connected with small screws into hinges, two to a side, placed an equal distance from each other. If you are not mechanically inclined, the panels can be attached using strips of duct tape on front and back. Lay the three panels down on a flat surface. Tape one side extending the edges of the tape over and folding them back on the next side. Turn over and repeat the process. Although not as effective as hinges, duct tape will work. The board can be spray pained with a bright color of yourchoice. Add a mirror to the center panel and folders to the left and right panels to hold papers and fun activity sheets. |
