Mert Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 What are you using velcro for? We do a calendar and weather station, but I've just been using painter's tape for that. I'm wondering if it's worth it to buy velcro for all my calendar pieces or if a $3.00 role of tape is more economic. :confused: So what's going on with all that velcro?? :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I used velcro for the calendar. It's easy to put the numbers on each day, and take off at the end of the month. Tape would be a lot more time consuming! HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Pip Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I suspect moms are using the laminator/velcro duo for workbox systems:) I used to make Evan-Moor file folder games and used velcro for the game pieces. Now I don't (too much work!) How about a pocket chart for calendars and weather station? They make some pocket charts specifically for this purpose.

Aoife Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I use velcro and lamination for a lot of stuff :tongue_smilie: I use both for file folder games, workboxes, chore charts ect. My favorite velcro are the sticky back dots as I hate cutting the strips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love3es Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I use laminating for lots of things... with three boys it's almost a necessity! ;) As for velcro, I switched to the velcro dots because I couldn't get tape to work in our schoolroom (I think it's because our schoolroom is partly below ground level). I use the dots on our calendar, weather station, file folder games, etc. The velcro is more expensive. So, if tape is working I'd stick with it!

Staceyshoe Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I really love laminating and using velcro. Where do you find the best prices on velcro dots? The cheapest I found was Amazon, but I'm wondering if there is a better deal out there that I missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emily in FL Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I really love laminating and using velcro. Where do you find the best prices on velcro dots? The cheapest I found was Amazon, but I'm wondering if there is a better deal out there that I missed. I just bought some at Discount School Supply. These are just the hook side, great for workboxes where you tend to need more hook side than loop. Here is a set of hook and loop that I thought was pretty reasonable. Shipping for just these two things was about $5. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
