Lots of boys Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) I have a gift certificate and would like to buy some homeschool supplies or games. Can you share with me what you have purchased off Amazon for homeschooling? Edited March 17, 2012 by agarnett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2bee Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Depends on the price range I guess. Also on the students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nukeswife Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Is it sad to say that it would be easier for me to list what I didn't buy from Amazon:eek: We love games so I bought tons of those, things like 10 days in ... (there is one for each continent), Ticket to Ride, Carcassone, Settlers of Catan, Geo Dice, Zeus on the Loose, and many more. ETA: I almost forgot to say GeoPuzzles. My kids love these and they are great for learning geography on the sly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGHEALTHYMOM Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) I always look on Amazon for hard to find books like The Prairie Primer, Norton Anthology ( $25), we got a nice basketball goal, playground balls, swimming supplies, gifts, school supplies ( mostly pencils and crayons), it helps to have Prime on many used books now too. And I order some groceries when in a pinch, and supplements ( Olive Leaf extract). Diapers,playpen, baby toys, some board games,pre-ordered Professor Layton ds games , my camera...tons of our books came from Amazon! They don't always have the best price, but many times they do, so I consider the fast shipping great and the return policy has been great too, when I needed it. I think I have also bought FLL, WTM all 3, and WWE on Amazon too! I love it when I can look inside a book before buying...also the new features on my laptop allowing me to switch from several tabs to check prices saves time!

In2why Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 If you need a filler I suggest GeoBoards. They were inexpensive and all of my kids loved playing with them, and still do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegirlwhopaintedtrees Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 You can get pretty much anything you want from Amazon, even some curriculum. It really just depends what you want. We recently bought a few logic games and some manipulatives for the light table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
