My Favorite Items I Use For Printables
- Copy Paper & Cardstock: 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.
- Crayons: Of course for coloring pages and other worksheets, I will always have crayons.
- Markers: Crayola’s washable markers are one of my favorites. The colors are vibrant and they easily wash off of my kids hands and my table if any accidental marks happen.
- Colored pencils: These can be used for more detailed coloring.
- Laminating pouches: For worksheets i want to use over and over i like to put them in laminating pouches.
- Laminating machine: If you use the laminating pouches, you will need a laminating machine to seal the pouch.
