If you get overwhelmed by the amount of stuff to save, here's a project for you. Keep tabs on important information while teaching your child a little something about responsibility with this school notes clip magnet! With just a clothespin, some paint, and decorations, you and your child will store all that information in one place and never lose his important school papers again.
