My Favorite Items I Use For Printables
Depending on what project or worksheet I’m doing with my kids, I will always have copy paper and cardstock. Cardstock is more durable than copy paper.
Of course for coloring pages and other worksheets, I will always have crayons, markers and colored pencils.
For worksheets i want to use over and over i like to put them in laminating pouches.
