Andani Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 My kids will be coming home in a few weeks with school-issued books. When I was a student years ago, we covered our books with paper grocery bags and decorated them. Is this still acceptable, or do people now buy book covers? What do you do for your children? Thanks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nd293 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) They don't seem to cover books at all anymore. At least not at my dd's school. When I was at school we covered textbooks in plastic and exercise books in brown paper. Edited August 4, 2016 by nd293 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I know the stores sell book covers. I still like the brown sack covered books that I could decorate myself. The covers got ratty on some of our reference books (history & Science). I covered 'em just like the old days & let the kids go at 'em with markers. They always give me a smile to see on & off the shelf. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Schools seem to want kids to use Book Sox now a days. They are stretchy spandex-type book covers, that come in bright colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate those-they are always popping off like a cheap fitted sheet. I have a roll of heavy white paper... We used it like the old paper bag covers, but looked cleaner and showed off artwork better.

Tap Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Depends on the school. We have had some schools that didn't require covers, some that put the on the school supply lists (but didn't usually specify size GRR) and schools that happy with paper bag covers. DD always preferred the paper bag covers so she could draw on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
