Stingyhag Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 3 hole punch. Brads, pencil sharpners, colored pencils, binder clips for thicker bunches of paper (my preference over paper clips), tabbed dividers. That's all I got off the top of my head w/o getting into laminators, more artsy type stuff etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxo Brand, if anyone is interested: http://www.bestville.com/blog/best-3-hole-puncher-oxo-moves-out-kitchen-and-office/4 I have a cheapy $5 one. I don't know how I've not broken that thing yet. Only does 10 sheets at a time, so holepunching jobs can take forever. May consider this one when it finally comes time to replace. Can't be much longer.......

Arcadia Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Magazine holders - they hold the piano books, my boys' math and language arts enrichment materials which are binded by color coded binder clips. I have black binder clips for general purpose, blue binder clips for older boy and red binder clips for younger. None of the glue sticks we bought glue well. We end up using the normal liquid school glue. For large amount of glue needed, homemade starch glue works better and cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I just discovered the red Ticonderoga grading pencils...I'm probably too excited about these. :lol: Binder reinforcement stickers We mostly use Elmer's glue sticks...I use their regular white glue for gluing things other than paper on paper, as it holds better.

Meriwether Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Creative Memories scissors - I bought 7 or 8 of them off eBay once. They are perfect. They are small enough for smaller hands, sharp, cheap (on eBay), high quality. I probably ought to buy some more now that CM is out of business, because I don't want to ever use anything else.

My stash of the original blue ones is dwindling.... :( I restocked when we moved and uncovered all the ones that had walked off.

Meriwether Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 :lol: I wish I could buy some.... alas, can't this week! I shall just have to make the kids hand them over :D I hope you can find them. Dd and I found two pairs in the garage today. :glare: The kids use them in the kitchen. I have no idea where the kitchen scissors got to in the move, so I allow it, but I need to get a distinct set of kitchen scissors. It isn't at all unusual for three or four pairs to be misplaced at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraceyS/FL Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Sounds like here.... they are spread. I know not that long ago they brought me 4 pairs, but they have since vanished. :glare: It is always nice when someone "gets it" though! :lol:Oh, but for my personal (scrap) scissors I moved to a small pair that has a non-stick coating. The kids know these are truly the, "use it and.... " well, they don't use them! :phttp://www.eksuccessbrands.com/ektools/Products/Honey_Bee__Scissors_EKCB06.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klmama Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Dryline Liquid Paper Correction Tape - SO much better than White Out. I agree. However, I love the story of the woman who created the White Out: http://inventors.about.com/od/lstartinventions/a/liquid_paper.htm I can make do with pretty much any other supplies, but I want my red Pilot click pens.

Luckymama Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 What we use the most: --Post-It Flags (the plasticky type, not paper---they hold up to being moved every day) --clear or pale colored translucent rulers for geometry --mechanical pencils --fine tipped dry erase markers in multiple interesting colors like light blue, plum, light green, orange, pink etc (I buy the 10? pack of Expo at Staples) --dry erase board about 12x18" --heavy duty hole punch from dh's home office desk ;) I guess we're not heavy users of office supplies! We haven't used glue sticks ever since beginning home schooling in fifth grade. I just grab the heavy tape dispenser (again from dh's desk lol) if needed.

Stingyhag Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 A globe. May sound funny, but I finally bought one when my 6 yr old thought Alaska was next to Hawaii after looking at a map of the U.S. with a cutout for Hawaii and Alaska in the lower left hand corner. Now she can see where it's really located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Metalic color sharpies. I use silver for Latin vocabulary flash cards. Doesn't bleed through, but dark enough to show up on the white. I can't write them with any other color. Bags of chocolate chips. Very, very important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
