The Bottom Line: Leaving lists and notes is easy with a dry erase board and markers!
For my whole childhood I loved to play with a dry erase board and the markers that went with it. Now that I have mostly grown up, I still love them. They were the coolest thing when I was little. My parents had to get a couple boards for us children so that when we destroyed one they wouldn't need to immediately go out and get another. Now I use my board for practical things like to-do lists and keeping a calendar which isn't always up to date, but I do try.
Tip
Sanford Expo Dry Erase Markers with Fine points are great things to have. They are much better than the markers I grew up using. With them you are able to write things smaller and in a lot more detail then the old chisel tip markers. I prefer the extra-fine tip ones myself, but if they aren't available then the fine tip ones are awesome anyway.
Fun
Even though I have supposedly grown out of the playing with the markers stage I still love to draw with them and use them in any way that I can. Let's face it they are fun things to have around. If you have a lot of colors you can make all sorts of things come to life on your board. They are perfect things for children, just make sure they stick to the board and stay away from the walls, a dry-erase board is not like those crayola paints that only show up on special papers, they will show up on walls. They are also perfect for reminding yourself of those fun activities coming up in the near future.
Colors
This pack is only a four pack, but that still gives you a whole lot of variety for your messages and writing. You can even alternate colors while you're going. Then you can update your pack with those fancy colors they have come out with, but if you're just starting out black, red, green and blue are perfect. It used to be those were the only colors you could get, it's amazing how much things have grown and spread out in the world today. One of my favorite things about any product I get is the choice in color, that's one reason I love Expo products.
Handy
I may have mentioned this before, but it is very important so I may as well say it again. Sanford Expo Dry Erase Markers are a great thing to have. They come in so handy. You can use them for notes, calendars, playing games with your family, just about anything that has to do with writing. They can brighten up a child's day and add color to their cheeks (literally if you aren't careful).
Ease
It is even easy to clean them up. You can wipe the board with a paper towel or napkin, or buy one of their special erasers is you would rather. To get it off the wall you only have to spend a couple extra minuets scrubbing-though red has a tendency to leave a slight color on the wall- and they vanish leaving your house clean.
I love have dry erase markers around, they help me to know what I'm doing and to have a great time, that's why I recommend them
