Frugal School project

My son had homework before school started.
Poster for summer reading.
I cost me .25 cents
and time

I bought poster board at the dollar store for .50 cents.  Used half of it.
We didn't have a color printer, so we copied book covers in black and white and he colored them in. We use colored pencils, marker and stickers. all of which we had. Looks great.
We also did this for the art he was to bring in to decorate his locker and notebooks.


Summer reading poster... .25 cents

These are black and white pictures we printed and colored in for his locker decoration
We use colored pencils, marker and stickers. all of which we had.
