Just had a brainstorm last night and changed the crib that is shown above (in the article) on the barrel of the Magnum Sharpie. I decided to print out a card showing the animals that people can choose from, and then just cross them off as I name them later. Which means I don't have to have a hidden crib -- it's right there in the open. Woot! That "crib" card just goes with the four cards that I hand out, so with that pack of five cards I have the routine ready to go. (Also, the card has a coating so I can use a wet or dry erase marker to cross them off, and then reuse the card again later.)
Performed the routine this week that needed the six pens or the tabbed art pad, and actually ended up using both, just to see which one "feels" better. Still not sure, so I'll keep using both until I figure it out. :)
However, the idea of using repositionable glue to put a blank paper on the crib page was great -- I just removed the one I used and put on a new blank page and I'm ready to go again, no need to "re-crib" things.
