Three Reusable Index Card USES

If you are on this page, you probably already know what you would use reusable index cards for. If not, here are three reusable index card ideas:

1. To-do Lists

Do you write daily to-do lists on index cards or other small sheets of paper? If so, there’s no need to waste paper on physical to-do lists anymore!

All you need to do is buy a pack of reusable index cards and use one dedicated card as your daily to-do list card. Use dry-erase or wet-erase markers.

Here is an example index card to-do list:

When you’ve completed a task, simply erase it (like below), and go onto the next:

This can be your complete to-do list system! It’s simple, and simple is always the best solution. Best of all, your index card is reusable for every day to come.

2. Homeschooling

Reusable index cards are AWESOME for homeschooling. Why? Because children make a lot of mistakes when they’re learning.

• No more scribbling the mistake out with a pen
• No pencil eraser shavings everywhere
• No whiteout needed

With plastic index cards, mistakes are fine and quickly fixable!

Imagine all the things you can teach and practice:

• sounds of letters (two-letter sounds, three-letter sounds)
• phonics
• early math
• counting
• drawing
• telling time
• shapes
• letters
• numbers
• money
• sight words

This list could go on and on.

The point is, reusable index cards are great tool for the homeschooling parent because children can practice, make mistakes, quickly erase it, and practice again. It’s also very versatile which allows you to teach a broad range of subjects.

3. Chore Cards

Do you have a system for tasking your children with age-appropriate chores? If so, you might consider using reusable index cards for their tasks.

• One card per child
