5 Must-Have Teaching Supplies
Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links to Amazon. See my disclosure for more details.
Before I became a teacher, I underestimated how much work teaching would be and how much of my own money I would spend on my classroom and students! Teachers put so much time, money, and love into teaching and they all deserve a pay raise! Now that I’m a homeschool mom, I am also putting in so much time and money into teaching my three boys.
Over the years, I’ve used various tools to make teaching easier.
Today I’m sharing my top five teaching supplies. Of course, you could buy lots of other supplies, but these are my must-haves!
Top 5 Teaching Supplies
#1 – Home Laminator
I have used my Scotch Thermal Laminator for over 7 years and it’s still working great! I use it to laminate any printables I want to use with dry-erase markers or other printed items that I want to be more durable, such as printable games. Having this in my home is a game-changer and saves me money! Even my husband used it the other day for work! 😉
The one I purchased in 2013 is no longer available, but the one that is most similar is this one.
#2 – Binding Machine
I know this one might surprise you, but I love my binding machine! I have used this so many times! It’s great for making journals, packets, small booklets, and even my handprint calendar. It is also super easy to use.
#3 – Pencil Sharpener
Investing in a good pencil sharpener is a must! I’ve gone through some pretty cheap pencil sharpeners and it’s so frustrating spending money on something that breaks! This Xacto pencil sharpener is great for home or the classroom!
#4 – Stapler
Getting a good, heavy-duty stapler is so helpful! I love this Swingline one because you can staple a lot of pages at once!
#5 – Paper Cutter
So many printables for early childhood require cutting! I love using this paper cutter to save time. It makes cutting a breeze!
Of course, there are many more supplies I could add to this list. These are just my top 5!
What is a must-have for you?
I would love the binding machine. We are always documenting and wanting class books! Amazing
Wow, a paper cutter!! My class does a ton of crafts for their little fine motor skills and to develop their creativity! A paper cutter would be super helpful.

I’m torn because a good laminator is clutch, but I have never had a binding machine and it would be so cool!
A binding machine would complete my collection! I always think how helpful this would be, especially at Christmas and end of year.
I would like the pencil sharpener or big stapler.
Home laminator and binding machine would be perfect for at home, because sometimes I take my work home for my Special Education students.
The binding machine would be awesome!!
I’d love to win the binding machine! 🙂
I would like a paper cutter because it comes in handy for making projects and cutting paper to fit the work.
I have always wanted a laminator! With homeschooling 3 kids, there are so many times I have wished I had one. That would be such a blessing!
I would love to use the binder – I am a graphic designer homeschooling my kiddos, so I’d love to be able to bind together the curriculum I put together on my own!
Difficult choice between the laminator and pencil shapener. I would use both all the time.
I would love any of these office items. Great idea.
I would love to win the binding machine. I just purchased the handprint calendar and this machine would come in handy:)
This is very thoughtful of you. Thank you very much
These are all MUST haves for a classroom. Now that I teach out of my home, I am still working on collecting them. I am in need of a paper cutter, for sure!
Wow thanks for sharing.
I laminate everything and having to laminate at home would be so much more convenient.
I would love the binder!!! This would be amazing to use with your calendar that you share. It would also be amazing to make books with my children!
I have a laminator however I could use a new one because it is getting old. I use it all the time in my classroom because my students need to reinforced teaching materials. It would be awesome to win another one!
These are all great items! I have a laminator and love it! I would love the pencil sharpener because I have been through so many that we have just been using handheld ones!
I would love to win the laminator!
I would love the laminator.
I need a stapler badly right now! We can not get staples in our copy machine and I have been waiting since school started to receive the stapler that I ordered.
Being able to laminate items you use over and over again…life changer
I think this is a great thing you are doing! We all know how hard it is to get materials for a classroom and every little bit helps.
The laminator would be an amazing tool to add to my home office. As a school-based OT practitioner at a therapeutic day school, I spend lots of my time laminating resources! Having a personal laminator would be extremely helpful.
The paper cutter!
I would love any of these supplies! They are all great things to have for any classroom. I would like paper cutter or big stapler.
My Laminator just broke on me last week! I so need to win this one for sure!
I would love to win the pencil sharpener. I currently have that same sharpener and love it, but I have used it so much that it is not sharpening well any more.
I am a new mom and recently became a stay at home mom and enjoy teaching my 2 year old daughter! I would really appreciate winning this laminator as I have been using self laminating sheets and it’s been a pain 😩. My daughter loves reusing the same printables over and over, so this laminator would be a game changer! ❤️
I would love the laminator! I have the pencil sharpener. It is THE BEST on the market.
I’m new to the homeschool world, and I have a paper cutter but it’s in bad shape. I would love a new paper cutter that’s good quality!
I do a lot of exit tickets for my math classes and don’t need a full sheet of paper for them. A small paper cutter with fresh sharp blades would be a great tool to have in my classroom. The school has one but it is so old and the blade only cuts in certain places of the board…frustrating for sure! I sure appreciate your giving back to teachers that support you throughout the year! So kind!

Wow! Thank you so much for the opportunity to win one of these amazing supplies. I would choose the laminator because I’m homeschooling my daughter and have been wanting one for awhile; it would be a game-changer for us. It would help make our teaching activities last on our limited budget, a lot of them printed from the printables club. We would be forever grateful ❤️

I have been wanting a binding machine. All of these other tools are essential.
I received my home laminator as a graduation gift from my collaborating teacher my final week of teacher prep school, 12 years ago! It has been used SO much! I would love a new one so I am able to keep on laminating 😊
Thank you for all that you do!
You are are so right! These are must haves! The only one that I don’t have at the moment is the binding machine and paper cutter. I’m not very good with using a paper cutter 🫣 so I would like to win the binding machine.
These are great resources to for making your teacher supplies last longer! The laminator would be my choice.
Ugh clicked enter too soon. I’d love the laminator because I’ve been known to use contact paper, ha!
You are so generous thanks for the opportunity! Had such a hard time deciding! Decided on the laminator.
Thank you for the 12 days of giveaways. This is very generous of you!
I’ve used all of these in my classroom and at home with my own children. The stapler and pencil sharpener are the items I don’t currently own.
This would be fabulous to own these items!
Thank You, Teaching Mama!!!
OMG I would love to have the binder AND the long stapler…but the binder is what i have always wanted!!!!
Having a paper cutter would be so helpful in my kindergarten classroom. I spent a good amount of time cutting paper with scissors and a paper cutter would help things go faster.

I would love a paper cutter. We use little paper books all the time, so it would be nice to have a paper cutter right in my room.
I would love the binding machine! I have a special needs child and this would be amazing for creating social stories and checklists that would help him function better!
Having a paper cutter would be so helpful in my kindergarten classroom.
A laminator! It keeps materials so much nicer.
I would love a binding machine at home! I make interactive books and personalized books at school all the time. Now that I have my first grandson, I will be making books for him. I am working on one right now for Christmas! <3
I chose the laminator because I am constantly laminating center sheets, and fine motor task cards for my fine motor cart. I laminate their name plates and manipulatives.
The paper binder would be much fun!
I would love to win the laminator. It would be great to laminate game boards or even drawings to see how much they’ve grown each year.
I’m new to teaching and this would be great to build my teaching resources! Thank you for the opportunity to win these great things to help us teachers!
I have had the Xacto pencil sharpener and it has held up well for several years.
Laminator at my school is always down! I could use one.
That start looks amazing but the binder would be amazing for personalized social narratives.
I love my laminator and I always borrow a cutter. I have never tried a book binder. I make a ton of classroom books with the kids’ creations but they always fall apart in a 3-ring binder. This may be the solution I have always needed!
In desperate need of a laminator! Lol Thank you for your generous giveaways!
Having an option to bind things would be great in my classroom area for home schooling.
Thanks for the Echo Dot classroom use suggestions. Look forward to trying them.
The paper cutter would be so nice to have! I have a laminator that I’ve had for close to 15 years and I still use it all the time!
I would love to have a laminator at home to help save my materials and protect them
I would love the laminator for homeschooling and preserving flashcards or posters that we use daily.
Thank you❤
I love the idea of a laminator to create games, activites and manipulatives for students to use. Items van be wiped down and kept clean. It helps to save paper and kids love to learn by playing the games and activties. I am a school supply junkie like most teachers. I can use anything but the lamintor would be my #1.
Great top 5’s. I could use a heavy duty stapler. I typically use binder clips.
I love them all.
All of these items are awesome, but I’d be most excited to win the book binder. Visual schedules, social stories, and high contrast books are just a few things I’d make!
I work with Special Needs Preschoolers and this will be great with letter recognition.
I agree with all these! That paper cutter was one of the best things I was gifted from my wishlist and the laminator was the first thing I bought for myself as a preschool teacher.
Home Laminator… I would like one of these to use in my class when I have printable worksheets that I use with my children that can be laminated. With one of these of our own in our classroom this way I don’t have to keep borrowing the one they have at the from office.
I would love the paper cutter. Teaching K it seems like everything has to be cut. I would love to not have to run to the office!!!!!!
we love making class books in class and the binder would be a great addition to making our books more durable
I could think of lots of uses for the binding machine. ❤️
You can never have too many laminators.
I would be able to use it at home with my son who I might homeschool in the future
The Heavy duty stapler is a need in our school. Thank you
My kids love any dry erase projects so the laminator would make life so much easier!
A binding machine would be so useful in my classroom. Thank you very much!
The laminator would be most helpful to me as a mom who home schools. Thank you.
I am always printing great resources from the internet, but laminating them would extend their life, and make them reuseable.
I would love to win the laminator! I do not always have time in the day to go to the Teacher Resource Center. Having this on hand, would be amazing!
It would save me time & would help me greatly! If I had it on hand, it would save me time & money! I like to laminate, games, nametags, resources! #Hopetowinthis!!!
I would love the laminator. I am a first year preschool teacher who needs her own personal one!
Because a binding machine would be soo helpful. Thank you for the chance.
Why would I love to win the binding machine……let me count the ways….. Class books, year end gift books (like a year book) small binders for each kid with stuff inside for them to do when they are done with their “work”, getting myself organized…I am sure I am forgetting something!
I would love to have a laminator to make my life so much easier!
Wow! No teacher should ever be without a laminator! It is a wonderful tool for being able to use items over and over. IT is also great for preserving student work:)
I need a heavy duty stapler in my school life. Regular staplers aren’t always up to the job.
I could really use this laminator to conserve posters and signs; and art work for early learning educators I work with!
It would be nice to have a laminator I could keep in my classroom!!
These are some perfect must haves.
I love your resources. They are my go tos daily.
The binding machine would be absolutely wonderful!
I would love the laminator in order to work at home and spend more time with my family!
A laminator is essential in my child care facility for children’s hands on math and language activities! This would be a great gift. 🙂
I would love to win the laminator so I can print centers for my students that will last longer. I can also laminate parent gifts we create.
These definitely are essentials! What a great prize pack!
I would love to have the laminator to be able to do some thicker lamination on items that are handled by the students daily!
laminator is a must! Although the list could go on and on!! LOL packing tape in a standing dispenser is another!! OH!!! and velcro dots!
I would LOVE to win the paper cutter!!
Thanks for doing this!
I would love the laminator for I do a lot of making things.
The binding machine would be wonderful!
I would love to win the binder. I could make so many little notebooks for my kiddos.
I have all of those except the binding machine. Never thought of having one of those but like the idea. Especially when my 4th grader writes and illustrates books.
I would love to have my own laminator and binder at home. They come in handy teaching Kindergarten.
I would love to win the Laminator. With working at a school and always during thing at home it will be helpful to me. I also help at the church.
I would love the paper cutter for my joy school preschool and just to have Anson n my home for all the craft projects that even my older kids enjoy to do!
I would love to win a binder for my littles art work to send home
My home laminator is my favorite, but having a binder at home for all those kindergarten books would be fabulous!
I agree these are all much needed items for any teacher! I use my home laminator all the time and have been wanting to purchase a paper cutter for home.
I am a retired kindergarten teacher and am now providing daycare/nursery school for my 2 granddaughters. I have all of the other tools except the laminator. I never realized how much I relied on the my school’s laminator and I would love to have one for the materials I am using at home.
I would love the laminator. I now have to homeschool my severely Autistic, severely developmentally delayed, nonverbal son. He can no longer attend school because of mask mandates. It would be very beneficial to me and homeschooling him.
I just want to say that you are an amazing mom for homeschooling him! I’m sure it is not always easy. <3
I have all the items except the laminator could really use one
Would love to win the laminator! I do not own one I have to take everything to the public library.
-Thank You!!
The laminator would be the most used item for sure!
Would love to win the paper cutter for homeschool and children’s ministry use.
I would love to win any of these handy items! Though I do have my eye on the paper cutter. That thing is so useful!
I love having my laminator at home. I do wish they made a more portable one with rolls though. We also love our Xacto pencil sharpener
Paper Cutter. I’ve bought a few that never work
I have to have my laminator! It’s a must
Would love to win the binder! My most used item currently is my laminator!
I have a mini paper cutter. The regular sized paper cutter would be great!
Thank you!
we have both preschool and school age kiddos in our care and with so many different ages and abilities we are constantly buying supplies for learning and crafting. Just purchasing those supplies leaves no money for me to purchase some of the more expensive items that would help us tremendously preserving and binding projects for them to keep and reuse.
I thank you so very much for all of your amazing ideas and plans, you have helped us more times than I can count.
My laminator was the most handy tool ever – until it broke! In desperate desire for a new one. They really are a must in every house!
All of the essentials! Love this!
I just started homeschooling one of my great grandsons and a laminator would be a most useful tool. Thank you for this opportunity.
I would like to win because I have been wanting a laminator for my classroom.
All of these are great! I’ve found my laminator very useful. I’ve had my eye on a book binding machine since I plan on putting together a lot of books. Thanks for the recommendations!
I teach high needs special education. We go through supplies like crazy. One of my students this year is into taking and pulling anything he can get his hands on into pieces.
This is great! I would love both the laminator and binding machine. I waste so much ink and paper reprinting.
The binding machine is great for making student books and for organizing my materials.
It was tough to make a choice!
Thank you and happy holidays!
We loved having a paper cutter when our sons were growing up. It was more useful that I would have imagined. Now that we are caring for our granddaughter, we would love to get another.
I would love to have my own binding machine. We only have one for our whole district and it is in high demand!
A binding machine would make my life so much easier!
Thank you for the chance to win!
You are awesome for doing this giveaway. Teachers are always in need of supplies and it is nice to not have to spend our own money.
I wish teachers didn’t have to spend their own money. I’ve been there! I wish I could give all the teachers a huge gift card!
I would love to win one of these – would make my life easier in the classroom.
I would love to win a laminator. I teach pre k so we are always practicing name traces, alphabet letters, numbers using dry erase laminat. It wouild save me a lot of time if I could use a laminator for the many routine activities we do.
I would love to win the binding machine as we are always making letter and number books. We even take our photos and make an end of the year photo album for teachers and students in our class. We usually have to staple them so I would love to bind them together to make them last longer. All your gifts are amazing and would be used for many years to come. It is people like you who make us feel appreciated and loved. THANK YOU!
I love laminating things! Makes it so easy to clean and reuse curriculum.
Our laminator broke this past fall! I saw your recommendation for the Scotch one but ended up getting a different brand and now of course I regret it lol. I put the pencil sharpener-this exact one on our Christmas list a couple years ago and it has been the best!! Definitely going with your recommendations from now on!
I would love to win the laminator, as I am a school-based occupational therapist, who works in Early Intervention (SDC preschool), an elementary school, and an SDC life skills high school class. I laminate things such as activities, signs, and communication methods all the time.
I would love to win the binding machine to make class books.
I really like the laminator idea to use for dry erase for letter and number tracing
Hello, I have everything but the binder. These are right on the money to have for teaching. I used them in my classroom and now while I am homeschooling due to the pandemic.
I would love to win these.
I would so love to receive the binder. I make class books that the students author and illustrate, and the hole punch and brads or the hole punch and ribbons will only hold for so long in a class of young children.
I would love the heavy duty stapler.
I would love to win any one of these gifts but my first choice would be the laminator as we all know that perserving our work for the next year of
students are extremely important as our time spent as educators is precious.
Your classroom must-haves are mine! i love my scotch laminator and my binding machine and i have a few extra of the pencil sharpeners (because kindergarteners love to sharpen crayons).The stapler would be awesome because i often do work at home and staple large packets
I thought about getting a home laminator for years! It’s actually surprising how many times it comes up that it would be helpful to laminate some things for the kids or myself.
The binder would be a Godsend as we homeschool and my boys love to make their own books! We also have a lot of Gather ‘Round curriculum we’ve printed but the pages keep falling out of the binders! We have enjoyed adding your content to our busy days as we only found you recently! Thank you for all the free shares 🙂
I work with special needs students and spend a lot of my money. A great purchase was a heavy duty three hole punch as I can have the student use their shoulder girdle and press it! That’s where writing starts. I would love the laminator in order be able to use page over and over. Dry erase CRAYONS are the best- but I have to buy those too!
I would love to win a binder. I love using them to make social stories for children. I even book bind books they make about their own feelings
I teach preschool in Arkansas. Any of these materials would be so beneficial to help me!
This would be an awesome addition to my supplies wish list! Thank you for sharing!
I would love the heavy duty stapler to help put together books for my kindergarten students.
Great items
I teach Special Needs Students and any one of these great items would be a game changer in my classroom!! I would love to win one of these prizes!!
I have a laminator that I use ALL the time. I would love to have my own paper cutter though. Thanks
I’m a long term sub in a small lutheran elementary and I am enjoying this new challenging job with my 1st and 2nd graders. Everyday is a learning experience.
The laminator would come in handy to make reusable worksheets
I need the binder. That would help so much! I have the rest 🙂
Thank you for the great ideas!
These are all excellent teaching items that make teaching a little easier. I would love the laminator!
I would love a paper cutter! It would help me prepare stations!
The heavy duty pencil sharpeners come in handy in the speech therapy room when students have dull pencils or press too hard and break the tip off their pencils.
I agree! All of these supplies are fabulous things to have in the classroom. So many times others staff “borrow” my supplies and don’t return things so I’m buying them for the 3rd or 4th time. The only thing I’ve never had and would love is the book binder. This is so handy for just about everything! Thank you for the opportunity
I live my Xacto pencil sharpener! I would love to have a binding machine.
I would love to win one of these teaching supplies!!
My laminator has put on some miles and is pretty tired.😜
Those are all awesome products! Would love to win one!
Would love to have a binder machine to create sight word booklets for my emerging readings to take home.
As fast as my kiddos go through pencils-I would LOVE to have a nicer pencil sharpener.
I was just looking at binding machines for my school! This I would be so fun to win!
I love the power stapler!! Staplers these days just aren’t made sturdy enough!
I would love to win a paper cutter so that I am able to work on my things easier at home and even in my room instead of having to go down to the copy room where the paper cutter is to work on things.
Love this!
I would love to have another laminator!
I absolutely love my laminator and would love to have a binding machine so I can create even more for the children I work with. It would be a life changer. Thanks so much for doing this, it’s awesome.
Thank you so much. These are great items.
I use my laminator so much I am worried it isn’t going to last much longer! A must when working with preschoolers.
First time homeschooling momma here! I feel so accomplished some days but others are so hard. It would really help if I had the right equipment for making my son’s classroom feel like more of a real school experience. Thank you for the chance to win!
I use clear contact paper to substitute for a laminater. … but i’d love the opportunity to try a real one! But actually there isn’t a thing in your list of 5 that I wouldn’t love to try. I don’t have any of them!
I am just starting out as a teacher and would love any of these! I subscribe to quite a few different blogs for help and I am so grateful for them! I am always looking for ideas and ways to improve so thank your for what you do!
These are all must have supplies! I have a home laminator too, but all the other supplies you have listed I am thankful that my school has. I have wondered what I’ll do if I transfer and my new school doesn’t have a binding machine. I’ve used it so much since I switched to kindergarten!
I don’t have a paper cutter and it would be super helpful to have one in my classroom so I don’t have to run all the way from one end of the school to the other to cut paper! It would help my hands from having to cut lots of paper at the same time…my fingers would love a break too!
That stapler would be heaven sent! I have yet to be able to find one that can handle stapling together books and packets!
I need this stapler in my life!
I would love a binding machine! It would be nice to be able to bind at home. I already have a laminator, pencil sharpener and paper cutter, the binding machine would be perfect for many different things!
I agree that having these items are essential! Luckily my campus has a binding machine on campus!
I’d love the cutter. Cutting out printables for my children’s learning can get a bit, “ugh.” It takes me so long to finish cutting anything, because I have to cut it out, laminate it, and cut it again.
This is such a great opportunity! Thank you! I would LOVE to have a binding machine in my room! Merry Christmas!
I love that you are doing this give away! I work in a public school as a para. I’m not like your normal classroom para. I do therapy with children with autism, down syndrome and other abilities. The district I work for does not give me a budget (because paras don’t get budgets) therefore I purchase pretty much everything I need to work with my kiddos. I print and laminate ALOT! I mostly go for the “free” printables. So because of wonderful people like yourself, I at least safe some money there. So thank you for all you do and post!
Aww and thank YOU for all that you do with students!
I have a small preschool. I try to provide new and interesting things for the kids to do every day. When I have the opportunity to aquire new items I jump at the chance. Anything that I can get to help teach the children is a Godsend. A laminater for the classroom would be such a helpful and useful addition.
I agree with all these recommendations. I would also add a link to laminating sheets from Amazon. I get a bigger bang for my buck by purchasing non name brand 5mm sheets (more sturdy and durable).
If I could add anything to your list it would be adhesive velcro/magnets. With many of my laminated tasks, I add velcro or magnets for different activities and kids love it!! Thank you for putting this list together. I never would have thought about a binding machine though but you make good points. Happy Holidays!
Great ideas! Magnets and velcro dots are very handy!! And yes, I should put a link to the laminating sheets. I like to buy the 100-pack on Amazon. Thanks for the idea to get the non-name brand 5mm sheets!
Wow! What a great and helpful post!!
Well the school I work at, in Italy, does not offer any of the above apart from the Binding machine. If I were to win, I’d love any of the others really!!
Thank you so much for the opportunity to win!
All the best,
Connie
P.S. I love your materials and thanks for sharing!
I used my paper cutter all the time but it has broken from use.
I Never used a a binder before.
Hello! I would like to win the pencil sharpener because ours went out recently. It’s been a chore keeping the pencils sharpened around here for school. Ha!
Thank you for the opportunity to try to win!
These are definitely my top 5!
I’ve been thinking of homeschooling my boys next year. This info really helps! Thank you!
These are all so important to printable success! I think the laminator would be my choice! Thank you
I started kinder this year with our oldest and would love to have the binding machine for being able to make books, and fun projects with my kids. This is a great idea to have this tool for homeschooling. Thanks for the idea!
Oh my goodness – there is nothing like a good pencil sharpener. I have a laminator, binder, and paper cutter. A pencil sharpener would save my poor palms.
I would love to win because I feel like I pour so much into my students, and this year has been especially hard. (I teach self-contained special ed and have never had so many students!!)
I’m a veteran teacher and have a laminator, binder and pencil sharpener. I’m telling you though, that paper cutter is calling my name! I usually wait until most of the staff are gone, go into the copy room, borrow the paper cutter and return it in the early morning before the staff arrives. LOL
Haha that’s a good idea! Sounds like your own would be very handy!
As a spec ed teacher the laminator would definitely get the most use! But any of these supplies would be useful in our classroom, there never seems to be enough funding for the materials we need!
As a special education teacher, I am always creating visual materials for my students. A laminator will be amazing!
I use my laminator on almost a daily basis. I’m actually on my third one because I keep burning them out. I will have to try this one and see if it holds up better.
I would love the paper cutter or the stapler. Thanks for hosting these giveaways!
Thank you so much for these great resources. It is great as a first time Kindergarten teacher at a private school to know what works best in the classroom. I would love to win anyone of these items but my heart is set on the binding machine. My Kindergarteners work so hard on projects and writing it would be a great way to be able to showcase all their work they have done. Not to mention all the ways I can use it for resources in the classroom.
Yes!! That’s why I love the binding machine.
All of these would be amazing! Love your ideas and website!
Love to win a prize because who doesn’t love to win teacher gifts! We can all use a little help financially I’m sure. So busy providing for others, sometimes we use hand me downs & OLD things to get by:)
Every year we love making books in K4, the binder would make my job so much better! Thanks for doing this!
I recently learned of binding machines and would absolutely love one.
Hi! I enter this amazing giveaway because of how much I use and constantly have to replace this particular item. Due to my whole house taking turns with Covid, it has taken a hit on our financials and my laminator is on it’s last leg. It would be a huge blessing to win it. Thank you for your generosity and your heart to give.
I teach in a early childhood program that works with very low income families. I spend my own money on items the kids need and never what I need. This would be a blessing.
I would love to win the binding machine. There are so many great resources that I end up clipping together. The binding machine would significantly improve my classroom organization.
Thank you for sharing your amazing ideas. I agree with your must haves. The binding machine would be an added bonus to the classroom!
I would love a binding machine.
What a great giveaway! My oldest is always wanting to make books. We usually use packing tape to seal the book, so this would be much more legit 🤩
I love the idea of having my own personal laminator! I am a school occupational therapist and it would be SOO much easier and less waste of laminating material too!
This is great, I am missing one of these items and it can be frustrating. A good pencil sharpener, I have bought so many, and have yet to find the right one.
GodBless
I would LOVE a binding machine. So many uses both at school and at home.
I would love to win any of these prizes, but my top pick would be a binding machine! This would be perfect for my son’s speech therapy papers and social stories!
I would love to have the paper cutter. Not having to run to the workroom and leave my class would be wonderful!!
A lamiator would solve so many problems ours at school is always breaking
I have always wanted to have my own laminator! Would be such a time saver.
I’d love to win because a laminator would help me out so much! I have so many printables for the kiddos activities and lessons. A laminator would be really a blessing! Thanks! Happy Holidays!!
I would absolutely LOVE a binding machine. We make Kid Journals in Kindergarten and the staples do not hold them together for a month at a time. I have been looking for a good binding machine for quite some time.
Thank you!!
This is amazing! I would agree with all of these. The only one I don’t have is a binder. It would be awesome to win this because I could organize ALL the things and make my own folders!
Being able to laminate without getting the key and being able to do small things without wasting so much extra film would be amazing.
I have 3 out of the 5 you have listed. I teach Kindergarten and have purchased 4 laminators in the past 8 years. I always have 1 at home and 1 at school. Having an extra laminator is so helpful. You are so generous!
I would love the paper cutter!
I think the number one supply is definitely a laminator. So, of course, I have one. My school has one binding machine and it’s in a preschool classroom, so hard to get to. I would love to have my own.
I have been wanting a binding machine, so it would be awesome to win one!!!!!! One less purchase crossed off my wishlist 🙂
I have the pencil sharpener and love it! I could use any of the other items! thanks for this great give away!
This would be amazing to help me organize and stay ahead!!
Always wanted a binding machine! Oh, the fun I would have! 😉
After many years of teaching, buying a personal laminator was the BEST! I would love to add a binder to my desk at home to complete my office!
Thanks!
OH MY GOSH! That paper cutter reminds me of elementary school! I would choose that or the Binging Machine! Both would be amazing!
I agree with your assessment of these items and would love to have either the pencil sharpener or the paper cutter. I’m blessed that I’ve been given a Scotch laminator (and love it) and a binding machine.
I have a laminator that I use a lot and have access to a paper cutter at work. So I would be interested in the paper binder.
I would like to win because I have been considering getting a binding machine for a while.
I already have a laminator & a book binder, so the paper cutter would be my choice. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
All those tools are great to have, but I would like to have a laminator or the paper cutter. Thanks for hosting the give away.
The laminater or binder are probably my top items off this list
All of these things would make homeschooling much easier!
I totally agree with your picks and really need a laminator!
As a first year kindergarten teacher, there are
several of these items that would be helpful in my classroom. Thanks for doing these giveaways!
I just asked for a personal laminator for Christmas! Don’t know how I have gone so long without one! Wish I had heard about them earlier.
I had all of those supplies in the work room at the school where I taught. I’m now homeschooling my grandson and I sure do miss the paper cutter. I enjoy your blog very much!
The only thing from your favourite five that I don’t have is a binder. I’ve printed off so many booklets and have had to go to Staples to get things bound, this would be a great help on my bank account! Lol
Having a laminator at home would be great! I could laminate after the kids go to bed instead of dragging them with me to Lakeshore Learning to use the laminator there.
I would love to win because I spend a lot of time working on the weekends or in the evenings at home.
I have a laminator and I use it all the time, love it. I’m lucky enough to have a paper cutter in my room. I think the binding machine would be great to have to send home keepsakes at the end of the year.
A laminator is by far the best tool for any classroom!
Great choices. I would love a binding machine, although I am afraid to use one. If I win, I promise to learn how to use it lol.
I’d like the laminator to make my resources and activities last longer.
Great picks! I love my laminator 🙂 if I had to pick one for the giveaway, I’d pick the binding machines. It seems very useful.
Not having to look for our school’s laminator would save me so much time!
I agree with your picks! The only thing I do not own is a laminator, so that would be amazing to win! Thank you for the opportunity!
As a Special Ed teacher we are always making materials for the class. These items would be sp helpful!
Thanks for sharing with those of us who homeschool!
What a great list of essentials! If I had to choose one for my personal/ classroom use, it would be the laminator!
I have to agree that these are essentials. I already have almost all of them.
binding machine
Thank you for all you do and offer, it is so helpful! As a kinder teacher I am always in need of extra help like a personal laminator to make life a smidge easier. Thanks!
You are SOOO right about all that we teachers put into our classrooms and not a one of us would say we chose this passion for the money. We do it for the love of learning, the love of our students, and our hope for the future. I have many of the items you listed (and so many more) but our school binding machine was disgarded for being too “out of date”. Apparently, I was the only one using it. I would choose to have my own so that I can continue to to make books for my students and memories for future classes. Thank you.
Yes!! Definitely agree with you!!!
That laminator and paper cutter are on my Christmas Wish List. I just got hired at a school and need to make so many new materials, so this has me drooling!! lol
I agree that all of these supplies are must haves for teachers. It would be fantastic to win the laminator to have the option of laminating at home. Thank you for hosting this giveaway!
I’d like to win the binding machine because I could use it for so many different things and I don’t have one!
Great giveaway! I’d love the binding machine.
I would choose the laminator, it would be so handy to have for the games and lessons I teach my 3&4 year old class.
Its so hard to just chose one but the laminator would be my pick. We have one at school and everyone needs it the time you need it.
My laminator just broke from being used so much! I don’t know how I am going to live without it:(
A binding machine has been on my wish list for awhile now?
There are so many homeschool projects that i find myself saying “i wish i had a laminator”. This would be amazing~
I would love to have a binding machine to put together all my kiddos creations.
These items would be GREAT to have at home!! I take so much of my work home each night, so these would be very helpful! 🙂
I love our schools book binder but I couldn’t be without my own laminator!
It is so awesome that you are helping others during this giving season! I start teaching next year and am so excited! I have a personal laminator and a paper cutter on my list of must have items. They seem like a smart investment for all the fun times in the classroom. Stay sweet!
Thanks so much for your kind words!! It’s so fun doing these giveaways! I hope you have the best first year of teaching next year!
I have an old laminator and I used it so much that it shut down on me so I would LOVE a new one to switch it out!! Such a life saver. The stapler would be huge for all the books I have to bind together and all the hats we make in Kindergarten! 🙂
I love following you and can’t wait for all the other day of Christmas giveaways!
I would love to add a laminator to my supplies cabinet!
Thank you so much for doing these giveaways. It is so generous and thoughtful! I love your blog posts and all of your helpful ideas!
I use my paper cutter and stapler all the time. With how often our laminator at school is “out of order,” I have been considering a laminator for at home.
Would love to have a binding machine! I have all the other things mentioned!
Thanks.
Julie
I love making booklets for the kids the the binding machine. They think they are so fancy.
A laminator is a must have for any lower school teacher! I also always have a hot glue gun within reach! ☺️
I agree with you….laminator, paper cutter, and a good Swingline stapler!!!
Hmmm, I would probably go for the paper cutter or the laminating machine! Thank you!
As a first year teacher, that cutting machine would be great in my classroom. I am constantly going down the hall or borrowing one from a fellow teacher because I have so much to cut out.
Thanks!
I would love the paper cutter!!! Thanks for doing these giveaways!
A laminator is an item I have often talked myself out of due to expense, but I think it sure would be great to have my own mostly for the convenience it would provide.
I really need a stzpler mine is akway getting jammed
I love this Scotch laminator as well! I had to replace an original one and it lasted so long I got another Scotch laminator. I currently use a small paper cutter I used for scrapbooking but you can only cut 2 pieces of paper at a time. This paper cutter would work so much better for mass quantities.
I would choose the paper cutter. I have an antique that weighs as much as one of my kids! Fingers crossed that I am chosen! Thanks!
I love my laminator as well. It would be awesome to have a nice paper cutter!
I love all the supplies listed but would LOVE a heavy duty stapler!! I am amazed at how many pages I print for my life skills students to practice writing, cutting, etc that then need to be stapled before sending them home! thank you for this opportunity!!
Fun giveaway!
I like a good sharp pencial and the manual ones are hard to use.
I have a laminator which gets used often and I hold my breath each and every time I use it. If I were to make a choice though I would go with the binding. I put together so much for my students and it isn’t always convenient to bind at school especially when I am not there full-time. I spend many hours on days off putting together activities for my students to do at home. This is a great idea and a huge shout out for making this happen for so many of us.
I would love the binder, as it would be great to make my own journals and publish class written stories.
I just wanted to say thank you for always coming through with so many amazing tips/tricks and helpful materials that make all our teacher lives just a bit easier! I opted for the binding machine, thank you!
You are so right about having a good pencil sharpener and stapler! I have never had a home laminator. That would be great!
I would love the binding machine. I always make class books with my students and it would be nice to be able to bind them.
The laminator or the binder would be great to have. 😊
I would love the paper cutter for I like doing a lot of crafts and this would help me a lot. I could use all the things you have posted but my 1st choice would be the paper cutter.
The laminator would really help me in my classroom. I have a few of the others tools but spend a lot of time and money going to get things laminated that I use with my students.
I think I would choose the laminator! I will say though, tough choice!
Ive been making end of year books for years ,in various ways. Ive never used a binding machine and think it might solve multiple problems. It would be a great thing to have!
I’d love to win the binding machine! I always need things bound and it would make my life so much easier!
I would love the laminator or the paper cutter. My paper cutter is small and it would be great to have a backup laminator!
These really are all indispensable!
I use my laminator all the time!
I’d love the stapler, though.
I’ve never heard of/considered a binding machine! I’d love to use one to try the suggestions you gave 😊
The laminator would be awesome for all the kid art work!
I think all of those are a must. I also have an easy stapler as an essential item. I always have to get a warranty on them because they always malfunction. I’d love the heavy-duty stapler you use though.
Great choices all! It would be fabulous to use the heavy duty stapler!
These are all great items. I would love the electric pencil sharpener. I had one in my classroom but don’t have one at home! Thanks for all of your freebies!
I would love the laminator or any of them really! I teach preschool and we laminate things ALL OF THE TIME!
I would love a laminator. I never have time to get to the Media Center (30 miles away) to get my stuff laminated.
Yes to all the things! But seriously would love the binding machine!
I would love all of them, but i chose the laminator because I just changed jobs and my new school does not have a working laminator. So having my own would be a huge benefit!
The laminator would be amazing and I’d have fun and feel relaxed doing my extra work at home!
Hello,
I could not survive without my laminator and my Cricut. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions. They are very valuable.
All of these are really a ‘must’ for anyone doing any teaching, whether at home or in a school/center situation. I have a very old paper cutter, and could really use a new one so that would be the item I would like to win.
Thanks
I would love the paper cutter because the cutting never ends in kindergarten!
Thank you so much for doing the giveaways! The laminator would really be helpful in our homeschooling!
I would love to have the biding machine. I loved using this machine when I taught preschool, and this would be a great addition to our learning at home
These are all great picks. My home laminator gets a LOT of use. I use the paper cutter at work a lot too and would love to have one for home use. I had never considered a binding machine but could definitely make use of one of those. And I appreciate the recommendation for a good quality, robust stapler. I have destroyed so many staplers over the use because of what I put them through.
I love your giveaways! Thank you so much!!!
I always wanted to own a laminator. I had one at work and used it a lot – now as a stay at home mom I really miss it. On second thought, I realize that we are moving to Europe within the next two years and I think a paper cutter might be the better option, since it doesn’t need any electricity… I like to have straight cuts and my scissor skills are not very professional ;-D
I would love to have a binding machine! We lived to write our own stories and make picture books! Also it’s great for other things too (play scripts, printed curriculum, etc.)
I would love the laminator. The school I am at doesn’t have one, (Or, at least not that I’m aware of!) and I think laminating is a great way to reuse things and save resources. (Plus I have one of those fancy colorful organization things that all teachers seem to have, so I need things to fill it with!) I think it would be a great boon to have.
This is such a sweet giveaway! I would honestly love any of those items, but especially the laminator! It would be nice to have one handy in my classroom or at home!
I use all of those tools daily! My laminating is slowly losing it’s power though so I would have to say a laminator right now.
I would love a binding machine. Thank you for the giveway.
I am really eyeballing that paper cutter! Thanks for sharing your ideas and products!!
Would love the paper cutter , we do a lot of cutting for students
As my kids have gotten older, we’ve needed more and more things bound. This would save us some trips to the office supply store!
The binding machine would be great for calming and coping activities to keep them in one place!
I own the laminator, pencil sharpener, & paper cutter. I would never be able to figure out the binding machine. The stapler looks super fancy, so I would choose that.
Thank you so much for your generosity! This would make my life so much easier!!!
I would all of them, but I really need a good stapler! Thanks!
I would love all of them, but right now I could use a new stapler. Thank you!
My pencil sharpeners keep breaking! I need a good one.
I would definitely choose the laminator. Our laminator at school always seems to be broken or out of film when I need to use it to make new activities.
Would love to have a laminator at home!
That stapler looks amazing! I keep picking up used ones at yard sales!
Definitely a laminator! I laminate materials and use them for years. I would love to have my own so that when the school laminator is not working, I can still laminate and be ready!
I would love to win the paper cutter. I had never considered having one in my classroom, but it would be such a time saver!
The binding machine is a great idea! Never thought of it before. It will make things easier to organize the homeschooling materials.
The laminator, definitely! I am known as the laminating queen at my small preschool. It is my happy place! We wee without a laminator for a while when our old machine broke, & it really got me thinking that maybe I should have my own at home.
I am a first year kindergarten teacher. I was hired three days before teachers were to report for duty. I started with nothing. Fortunately co-workers gave me some basic materials to help me get ready for day one. I would love to add a binder to my room.
All of those supplies are definitely essential teaching supplies. My pencil sharpener just broke, so I need a new one! I would love to win this one!
Have always wanted to try one of these binding machines!!!! Have heard so many great things. I teacher preschool 🥰
This is so awesome that you are doing this! Thank you!
The binding machine would be wonderful! I can think of so many things I could do with it.
I am torn between the mega stapler and the pencil sharpener. I have access to the other tools but would love either of these. Thank you for the giveaway chance!
I love giveaways! My daughter (who is also a teacher) “stole” my paper cutter and I would love to win a replacement! It had so many uses.
Would love the laminator! My daughter is 4 and I’m planning to homeschool her.
I would love to win that swingline stapler for my at home school corner.
Would love to win the pencil sharpener for my classroom!! Thank you for having a giveaway!!
Though I can definitely see the advantage to all of these I would most like to get a laminator as I am constantly finding myself wanting to laminate so that I can reuse the materials and so that they wont be destroyed the first time that my preschoolers use them.
I would like to win the paper cutter. Many of the things I print out to use with my developmentally delayed preschoolers need to be cut apart and the paper cutter would definitely give my old, tired hands a break from using scissors, not to mention the time saved cutting things out.
Thanks for the giveaway! These would all be wonderful! 💕💕
I would either love the pencil sharpener or the binding machine. I have been working on making a lot of social stories and task books for my special ed kids and I never have a sharpener. lol
I’d love the binding machine to put together books and materials for my teaching and books created by my students!
I would love to have the laminator. I agree a home laminator is a must have for teachers, especially kinder teachers. I need this to hold up from the multiple hands handling & playing with all the games/activities I make from the great ideas I get from you!
This is a fantastic giveaway! I would choose the paper cutter. I use a lot of task cards, login cards, etc. so having one in my room would come in VERY handy. It would save me a great deal of time that I spend in the teacher’s lounge. 🙂
Thank you for hosting this giveaway!
Happy holidays!
I would LOVE a binding machine!! I am preparing to teach preschool this next year (after a long break 😉 and have lots of plans to make lots of books, calendars, etc!! 🙂
THESE ARE GREAT!
I agree with all of these! I have been using my laminator since 2018 and absolutely love it!! By far my favorite! I would love to have the binding machine to make better books for my daughter!
So nice of you to offer this wonderful giveaway.
Thank you 😊
ANY OF THE 4 WOULD BE A WONDERFUL TREAT! I JUST BOUGHT THE SCOTCH LAMINATOR AND LOVE IT! A SECOND ONE JUST MAKES ME DREAM OF THE SPEED I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET MY LAMINATING DONE! i WOULD LIVE TO HAVE MY OWB PAPER CUTTER INSTEAD OF THE SHARED ONE, WELL, MAYBE i WOULD SHARE IT. (LOL) THE BINDER HAS MY EYES BUGGING OUT! I WOULD LOVE TO USE IT FOR MAKING BOOKS FOR MY STUDENTS AND FOR PARENTS TOO!
Thank you for all your fabulous ideas! It takes a village…. 🙂
I would LOVE a binding machine to make our special projects into books. Thank you bunches!!
Would love to win… this is my fust year homeschooling and its not easy when you don’t have all the tools to be abe to make resources for our kids.
I would love my own paper cutter! I use the one in the copy room all the time and could really use one of my own when making math games.
I agree that a great pencil sharpener is a must! These are great suggestions!
I would love the binding machine.
I am forever breaking a stapler! A heavy duty one would be nice!
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity! The laminator is hands down, my most used teacher tool of the ones you have listed!I Having a paper cutter in my classroom would be amazing!!
I love to use manipulatives. Engaging kids with fun materials always makes learning fun!
My 5 year old son loves to come up with his own pictures and stories to create his own books. I’d love to surprise him with the binding machine so he can make more “professional” looking books and support his creativity.
Thank you for being so kind with sharing your work so other mamas out there can get a lending hand! Happy Holidays! 🙂
Thank you for your generosity! I would love to win any of these items!
My daughter loves making her own books! The binder would be awesome!
Thank you for this giveaway! I would love to win the paper cutter! It would come in so handy in our homeschool!
I would love the laminator but they are all great choices!
I love all the learning pages, cute crafts, and nifty ideas you share with everyone. My 2 yr old AKA YOUR #1FAN loves it just as much as I do. We start our day with one of the crafts from your page and move on to learning a little later. We have so much fun everyday with your page. Thank you so much for all the joy you have brought into my home❤️ keep up your hard work and dedication because mamas like me definitely appropriate all you are doing..
Aww that makes me so happy to hear!! Thank you for taking the time to send such a sweet, encouraging message!! And tell your 2-year-old hello from me! 🙂
A binding machine would be great because I have all the others and use them all the time! My kids would love to create their own books!
I’d sure love to have the paper cutter with all of cutting for preschool!
Thanks for the ideas
All of these items are a necessity in a classroom! Thank you for having this giveaway!
The laminator would definitely help make our materials durable and long-lasting so I could use them over again as the younger ones grow.
I have most of these items, but would love to have the binding machine to be able to make more social story books for my special education students.
I would use the laminator on a daily basis for my special needs class!
Thank you.
I have been dreaming about buying a binding machine! I was wondering If it would be over the top to own one, but now I feel validated! Thanks for your blog.
I use my laminator all the time!
How generous of you! Thank you so much for hosting this giveaway.
I love all your advice and recommendations!
I’d love to win so I can use the materials for my preschool classroom!
My child is working on writing. We would love the pencil sharpener!
I am a former teacher now stay at home mom. I am the room parent for my son’s class and am making things all the time. I second all of the suggestions here!
These are all must have for sure!
I’ve had a binding machine on my list of “I need it” for ever.
Thanks for all your generous giving now & through the year. Would love to win to brighten my holidays!
Super agree on all of these materials! Why did I even wait for a year to even source for my child? Hoping to win the laminator! Woot woot!
I Would love the binding machine for our nature journals, work books, printed curriculums. Thank you for the opportunity!
These five items are great. Don’t forget Sharpies and Post-It Notes! Can’t live without them.
The binder would come in very handy for all of our print outs and curriculum. Three ring binders can only get me so far!
Great giveaway, thanks!
I would love to win any of these really- I share an office and we make many things for our families to leave with them in their homes. Laminating all the time so the materials last, binding books is a must for the children and free books for families is the best, especially when tailored to their child. Stapler for the zillions of papers we need to print and provide families. Pencil sharpener because we write a lot of visit notes. We have a few of the items in our office, but we could really use the paper cutter it is one piece of equipment I could share and all would appreciate.
I would love the laminator so my station activities would stay durable. This is great.
This Top 5 List is a big hit. These items will be a big hit for my classroom. I teach a Self-Contained Class of 12 and I most definitely need supplies. But my most favorite is the Binding Machine. This machine will help me be able to create workbooks and keep worksheets in one place. It will also help me create at student books for when I need them to follow me as I read. Lastly, It can aid me in the process of individualizing their their lessons so they can work on the goals.
Awesome! The stapler and lamintor are very helpful.
I am a homeschooling Grandma and the binding machine is one of the few tools I would love but have been unable to justify the expense when I could use the money for more practical/common things.
A good pencil sharpener can be invaluable for both homeschooling and teaching. A mediocre one can eat more of the pencil than sharpen it.
I manage a Title 1 Room and a laminator is a must have for all of the fantastic games and activities that you can find for purchase or for free. The laminator makes the games and activities last and allows for many students to be engaged and enjoy learning! Thank you!
I would love a binding machine. I teach special education and my students are learning to read and use adapted books daily. This would make life sooooo much easier!!
I would really like the laminator to help me make nice worksheets and activities. Thanks!
Things are always needed in teaching. The binder would be very useful for making small books for our students.
Thanks for sharing all of your posts.
I would love to win the laminator! I am a high school FACS teacher and my students run a preschool out of our classroom. The laminator would help us plan activities for our preschool students.
I would love the pencil sharpener- mine is on it’s last legs! Thanks!
Having my own supplies has made my job so much easier!! They’re usually better than what we have at school and I can use it on the fly. These are great ideas for supplies to have on hand. I would love the paper cutter!
I would so love the paper cutter. I teach Life Skills and am forever cutting multiple cut and paste worksheets. Thank you for the opportunity 🙂
I was a teacher too before I had my children and yes you spend a lot! All of these items are so important and helpful! I got a laminator last year and it really was a game changer! I would love the pencil sharpener because I have been through several!
We are still teaching from home. I’d totally use the laminator a ton! Thanks!
I would love to win these! Thank you for putting on this giveaway.
I would use these items to help teach my daughter at home. We love cutouts and the laminator and the cutter would certainly do that.
i would love to have a home laminator. Right now I am using page protectors and they are adequate but a laminator would be a game changer!
I would love the stapler or the sharpener. Thanks 😊
I would love to have a laminator. I am a grandma and I teach my two 4 year olds at the “Mamu’s school” They call me Mamu! It would be a great tool to have – in the past, I have made lacing cards and paid to have them laminated. I am also a retired mail lady and it would be fun to laminate nametags for the kids in their class when i do my mail lady presentation to their preschool. Thank you for considering me. I love all your teaching tools.
I am a special education teacher who has recently fell in LOVE with adapted books! These have helped my young students engage in texts in a whole new and incredibly meaningful way. Paying for the binding is so expensive though and as a result I have some that are printed, but not yet usable. Would be so grateful to win a binding machine. And thank you for all the terrific resources as well!
I would love the stapler!
I would love the paper cutter! I use it constantly to save time when cutting out pieces for my Pre-K kiddos!
The paper cutter is a kindergarten MUST!! We use it every week in prepping crafts and making books. Mine is OLD and dull. We need an upgrade for sure.
G
The binding machine would be great!! We could make memory books, gifts, and put together all our resources we use regularly.
I agree that all of these are essential items for classrooms and home. I really a pencil sharpener. My classroom doesn’t have one at the moment.
Amazing giveaway !
Thank you for this
The binding machine would be wonderful to have! We love to make our own workbooks etc.
I would love to receive a binding machine. My kiddos need a little encouragement sometimes to put their creative and knowledgeable ideas on paper. If they saw really awesome, bound books made by themselves and their friends, I think it would be a great motivator. Thank you the chance to be the recipient!
I am just now starting to put together supplies to teach my grandkids at home. I am so thankful to have you to put all this information together, because I had no idea how to start! I would love to have these great items to work with!
Thank you for all your hard work!!!
What a great listing! I would love a binding machine.
I agree 100% on your top 5 classroom supplies! I would love the stapler!
Oh my goodnesss. A home laminator would be amazing! Thank u.
It is hard to choose, but I think the stapler would get the most use. Thank you for this opportunity!
These are all fantastic tools for the classroom. I would love the binder to use when making books for the kids in the class.
The binding machine is a great idea! It would definitely make things easier for my classroom projects!
This realm of homeschooling as a grandmother is such a challenge and a huge blessing at the same time. I have enjoyed so much watching my grandson grow and learn these past few months. Your website has been a HUGE help to us. Even my grandaughter emjoys some of the activities when she gets home from kindergarten. The laminator is on my wish-list and would be a huge gift for us. I have 3 more grandchildren coming in 2022 and OH WOW I’m going to need this!
Thank you for all that you do to help ME and my baby grands!
Blessings,
Rachel
Awww thanks so much, Rachel! Makes me happy to hear that you’ve been able to use some of my resources!! And wow…3 new grandchildren in 2022! Congrats!
I would like Kathythe binding machine.
I would love to have a paper cutter. It is so useful.
Oh what fun! Thank you for the chance to win. 🙂 I hope to win the binding machine.
The home laminator would be so helpful! We would use it all the time!
I’d love to win the binding machine as I love making packets and calendars and books for my nanny kid
When teaching special education – you can NEVER have enough pencil sharpeners!!!!
This is a great Giveaway for all caregivers. I would love to win the Binding Machine to create workbooks for children. It would keep their work organized and easier for teachers to monitor their progress.
A binding machine would really take my handbook and toddler busy books to the next level.. I can’t believe I’ve never thought of that before haha. Thank you for these great tips!
The laminator would be so incredibly helpful for my STEM classroom. I see over 600 students so keeping everything neat and using less paper would be wonderful!
I would like the paper cutter or the laminator or the binding machine. These are such great tools, its hard to pick just one!
I am a kindergarten teacher and a new pencil sharpener would be wonderful. Thank you so much!!
It was a real toss up between the laminator and paper cutter. Working in a primary class, we laminate A LOT to sustain durability. However, the paper cutter gets my vote because I can’t cut a single straight line…Eeekkk!
I would like to win the binder machine so that I could make books for my students at school and grandchildren at home.
Thank you so much for the resources! I find them super helpful in many areas.
I love all of these! I would say the two that I would choose from would either be the binding machine or paper cutter. We have both in our school, but it would be so nice to have them right in the room. Then I don’t have to lug all of my things all over the building.
I’ve been homeschooling the past 2 years, starting with 4K and always looking for helpful tips and tools to still give my kids a fun learning experience. Even though I’d love the laminator, all of these tools, worksheets and advice are/would be so helpful!
The binder would be AMAZING for my preschool crafts! Love your blog and your ideas. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
The laminator would be my choice. The teachers I help are working from home very often now and having a laminator right there would be so helpful. Thanks
I would Love the stapler. I have all the other supplies already. Thank you.
The binding machine would be incredible for making my own workbooks!
I would like the binding machine because it’s just something that I would not have thought of to purchase for our classroom. It would be an amazing tool to have in our classroom to bind student or class stories!!
Would love the laminator! I am a tutor and it would be very handy!
I agree with you, these are very helpful tools especially when using great website resources like you provide. I would choose the binding machine or stapler as those are items our early education team doesn’t have and we adapt which takes time away from other things.
I would love to win the stapler! We have one in our homeschool that always seems to jam.
I would love the binding machine. I print out tons of activities for my kids, and they are scattered ALL over the house. It’d be so nice to have them all in one place!
You are absolutely correct on these must-haves. The only one I don’t have is the binder, as my current school has one. I actually have 2 laminators – one for home and one for the classroom!
I would love the laminator! I love your idea for using it for dry erase work instead of white boards!
The laminator would be awesome! I moved out my f state and basically left my entire classroom behind for the new teacher! Starting from scratch. Laminators are a must in every classroom.
I would love to have an Xacto pencil sharpener. As a school-based occupational therapist, I am often left to use spare spaces to work with my special needs students. The sharpeners in the room never seem to work very well. Manual ones, while great to work on fine motor skills often break or destroy the pencils. A new Electric pencil sharpener would be fantastic!
I would love to win the book binder. My grandkids love to make “books”.
I use the laminator and paper cutting all of the time! I think the binding machine would be so helpful in making adapted books and social stories for my students.
The binding would be so nice for making books and putting projects together
You have some awesome must have supplies listed! I think I would use the Laminator the most. I am always needing things laminated and we are not allowed to use ours at school. So sometimes it can take days before the lady is able to complete.
I so need that stapler… Please…
I would love the laminator for making reusable worksheets 🙂
I have busted so many staplers while making black line books, I’d love the stapler. It looks pretty heavy duty!
I would love to win the laminator for our homeschool! It would be so handy to have one of my own instead of taking my projects to a public school or library to have them do it for me.
I have almost all these items and agree! I would love to have my own binding machine.
I would appreciate and like win a laminator. We do a lot of folder games, with special needs.
I am challenged between two of them. It would either be the laminator or the pencil sharpener. The laminator is always good for all of the bulletin boards and wall designs I create. BUT… a good pencil sharpener is always essential. It seems they continue to always break or are so loud the class jumps every time someone has to sharpen a pencil. I would definitely have to go with the pencil sharpener. Keep it simple!
Oh, I need a good paper cutter. Mine is at the end of it’s life!
Thanks so much for creating this giveaway!
All of these are amazing teacher friends! In a large class setting the pencil sharpener is super important! For home school I’m liking the laminator for making things reusable:)
The paper cutter would save me so much time!
I would love the laminator, you can do so many cool things ,other than laminating with one!!
I would LOVE to have a binder!! I already have several of the others and couldn’t agree more on their utility! Thank you for providing such wonderful advice and resources for parents!
I would love the paper cutter. We have one to use for our whole building and it would make life easier if I could just cut things in my room where there is more space and on my time. Then I could share with my teammates on my floor as well.
I would love the binding machine or the stapler. Working in a self-contained room, we are constantly stapling and binding books. I had a binding machine but it broke.
Thanks for the offers.
So many projects and activities require cutting and a paper cutter would make it so much quicker when I’m working on the activities at home.
Good morning to everyone! I’m a preschool director and my staff would be thrilled with any of these essential teaching supplies. The majority of my staff would appreciate an additional laminator to add to our resources.
Thanks and have a terrific Tuesday! 🙂
I would definitely choose the binding machine! It would a great addition to our homeschool supplies, and much cheaper than getting packets printed at the store!! Good luck to everyone!! 🙂
A paper cutter in my room would be fabulous!
Great Giveway
I would love to win the sharpener.
Thanks for your generosity.
The laminator as I use many items with my students and want them to last during use. So reinforcing them with the laminator would be great!
I would love to win a laminator! It would be so helpful to keep using materials year after year without needing to printing them all the time and wasting paper!
I would love to win a laminator, because in our preschool we have to use the public schools’ laminator, and it would be quick and easy to be able to use it in our center.

That’s so sweet of you!!!
The binding machine would be amazing! I love making little books for the kids!
First being from a rural school that has to send home packets if we are out especially with Covid this would help me keep their work together. Also being a Kinder Teacher it would be awesome to have the Binder not only would I be able to make small packages for my children I would be able to make an All About Me for their parents at the end of the year so they can remember their first year of school.
I’d love to win a binding machine. I have had one on my wishlist since I started homeschooling 4 years ago.
I would be so happy with any of the above picks!
I’d love the binding machine. We do so many things from your site. How nice. Merry Christmas!
I’d love the binder. It would help keep all the sight words and speech aids together without taking up all the space a notebook binder does.
I have a laminator and it is a must to complete work at home for the class. I would choose the pencil sharpener because we use the fat pencils in class and it is hard to find a good sharpener for them.
I would love the laminator! I take worksheets I use a lot, or games that I can add to my morning bins and laminate them so I can use them year after year.
I would love the binding machine! I teach K reading, and we like making class books. Each student has their own book box, so I could make class sets that way!!
Love your blog, it is always useful information
I would love the laminator. I teach Kinder and am always making center games and activities that need to be laminated. I’ve never had a home laminator but I could see how it would be convenient!

The paper cutter would be my first choice! This is a great list!

Laminator…no more wipe-n-trace books for this mama!
I would like the binding machine.
I would absolutely LOVE the laminator! I use clear sheet protectors for things that I like to keep more sturdy, use for wipeable worksheets and when I want to protect documents, but having a laminator instead would be a huge upgrade 🙂
I would love the Laminator. It would come in handy for things I send home to help with virtual learning.
All your choices are so useful ! I think I would choose the binding machine or the paper cutter. I run a small privately owned daycare center. Coming up to our 4th year now. finances are limited so I work with a small inventory of supplies.

HANDS-DOWN the Laminator is the MUST-HAVE for any teacher–I’m actually giving one to my daughter-in-law (3rd grade teacher) and my daughter (high school teacher) for Christmas this year! 🎄
I’d personally LOVE 😍 to win the paper-cutter–I literally was just looking on Amazon last night for one to have at home–it would make things SO much easier for me–well, for my husband since I always recruit him for Sunday Night Laminating/Cutting Parties💃🏽🎉

I was saying just yesterday how I would love to have my own paper cutter! The one at school is dull and doesn’t cut correctly!
I’m torn between laminator and paper cutter as I can’t count on how many occasions I wish I had both in our homeschooling journey. But still I think laminator is absolutely the most helpful thing!
I would LOVE to win the laminator. I’ve been thinking of buying for to use at home with my 2 year old grandson…and the new one coming soon. WINNING it would be even better!!! Thanks for the opportunity!
I would love the binding machine! I didn’t realize how useful it was until distance learning became a big thing because of COVID-19. The grade level team I work with decided to print copies and bind them together using the school’s binding machine to send home for students to use during distance learning. It keeps all their worksheets together and there are no lost pages. Having my own binding machine would be great!
I would love the pencil sharpener or the paper cutter. Thank you!!🙏🏼🤞🏼👍🏼❤️😀

I would love to win the laminator! It seems like the perfect addition to any homeschool space!
I wholeheartedly agree with your choices! I’d love the paper cutter. I have a smaller one that will do a page or two at once, but I love the style you included for doing larger batches at once.
These items are all great! I would select the laminator for my class. You can never laminate enough. LOL.
The big stapler is something I could use! I print little books for the kids that need to be stapled and my old one is not always up to the job!

I would love the binding machine! To bind books and packets for my remote students would be easy and convenient

I’m not at teacher but I work at a school and I can guarantee this is all very beneficial. My parents were immigrants and their highest education was Elementary, unfortunately my siblings and I did not have help with our homework and never had a story read to us before bed time. As a mother of a Kindergartner and a 2 year old, I THANK YOU very greatly for all that you have provided, I hope to give my kids everything and as nice as it would be to give them materialistic stuff, I’d prefer to give all the educational help they need to see them succeed higher than what I can. I hope to win one device in particular, it would benefit me in helping my little ones go above and beyond.
I’d love a new laminator or the stapler! I imagine the stapler would be easier for some of our other crafts.
I would love to win the paper cutter!
I would definitely love the laminator! Currently using shipping tape and protective binder covers to keep some of my daughters school work durable.
I would LOVE the binding machine!

Happy Holidays

I would love a laminator. I laminate a lot of printables I find online for my daughter. I usually use laminating sheets . All of these things are great suggestions. I need a new stapler so I’ll look into that.
My laminator just broke and it is by far my favorite too!! I have t laminate even more things this year due to increased cleaning protocols at school!
I am asking for a laminator for Christmas this year, so it would be great if I won that
laminator, most definitely
I’d love any of these things, but I don’t have a binder!
The laminator would be fantastic and well used.
Thanks for sharing your recommendations!
I use contact paper to “laminate” papers/activities right now…but I’ve thought about how nice it would be to have an actual laminator, so that’s the teaching supply I would pick.
Great suggestions for supplies Angela.
I desire to enter but don’t know if I did it correctly. My top pick would be the laminator 😘
! would love the laminator!!! thank you!
I would love the binder! What a great thing to have!!
I would love the binding machine.Both of my daughters love books and it would be cool to make them their very own books. Plus it would make our small space much more organized instead of having bulky binders everywhere!
I am so grateful for all of your ideas- resources I could not have done without this year! This is such a beautifully, generous offer and should you choose me I’d be so grateful to have a heavy duty paper cutter! Thank you, thank you for all that you do!
I would love to win the laminator! I’m a new preschool momma and I need the basics to keep me going.
I would love to win the Stapler, I work in the school library so that would be super handy to make mini books and to repair magazines with.
I have an at home laminator and use it all the time!!!
I would love the binding machine! Our K students love classmade books, but our school only has 1 binding machine – and it does not work very well anymore.
I would love to get the binding machine. It would be perfect for the home packets we send home since we have been virtual since March. 🤞🏽
Wow! A binding machine would be wonderful! Thank you for your generosity!
The binding machine would be a life saver. I’d love to be able to make “published” books out of my student’s writing so that I can make a section in our classroom library that is filled with their own work. That would help them see that they are REAL authors and illustrators. Thank you for this chance to win one!
I would love the paper cutter because I am constantly cutting and creating emergent reader books for my students.
Every teacher needs ALL of these! I would love the binding machine. So handy!
I would choose the heavy duty stapler. Your 5 choices are needed by every teacher!
Hi! I love all of these supplies! I started homeschooling before COVID happened and all of these are so useful! I love my laminator! It is so useful, but mine is so old and on its last leg! I would love a new one! I’ve never used a binding machine, but I can imagine all that I could do with it! O would love the binding machine!
All of them! But the book binder would be really neat to have on hand!
I would love the binder as I do not have one currently! What an awesome giveaway! Thank you!
The laminator is such an amazing giveaway! It is perfect for starting the new year in a more sustainable way, allowing therapists, teachers, or homeschool parents an option to reuse materials over and over again!
I have had a binding machine on my wish list for awhile! Thanks for the chance to win!
Definitely the book binding machine – it’s on my “want” list.
I have yet to get a binding machine. But the personal paper cutter is a serious GAME CHANGER. I even have given them to my children’s teachers as holiday gifts. Love them!
That heavy-duty stapler looks amazing!
Any item free would be much appreciated!!!!!!!
I would love the laminator!
All items are “Awesome”… Over the 20 years + I have had most all of them. Right now I only have the shredder
I would love to have the pencil sharpener. That look like a good one!
Wow, you have captured all of the must-haves!
My choice would be a laminator. As others point out, “special training” is required for use laminators. To be able to get things done, and be efficient, instead of waiting for someone to do my job, would be fabulous.
These would all be great to win! Especially the laminator or paper cutter. Thanks for sharing!
i would lo love the laminator.
I would love the pencil sharper!!!! We are currently using an old turn handle one and it gives me blisters! Thank you so much for the opportunity l!
That laminator looks amazing and so does the pencil sharpener.
Paper cutter is what I need!
I would love the binding machine! I have access to a laminator and often print and laminate interactive books for speech/language therapy, but binding the pages together would be so perfect!
I know what Scotch laminator you’re talking about. I bought one in 2013 as well & have been using it since. That said it’s a real tough one between the binding machine and the paper cutter. I feel I’ll get the most use out of the binding machine though because I LOVE making social stories for my kids, especially when NEW things are about to happen & a binding machine would make these books look so much better & would allow us to re-use it again and again.
I think it’s great that you’re doing this for other homeschooling mamas and teachers out there.
This is great! The laminator would be perfect for so many preschool activists that they like to do over and over again
I would love a paper cutter! I am always making things and a paper cutter would be so much easier
What a nice giveaway!! I agree with all five of your must haves as a Pre-K teacher too. I don’t have a good stapler, so would love to have a nice one like that!!
ID love the laminator!
I do a lot of dry erase with my daughter
Thank you for sharing!!!
The laminator would be amazing, especially since I am working from home and don’t have access to a laminator anymore!
I would love to have this paper cutter! I have access to a laminator or I would pick that first haha. This is a great list! Love your blog!
I would love to win the laminator. I just got my teaching degree in Early Childhood Education in May of this year. I am a new teacher and would greatly appreciate a laminator for my classroom.
Yes please I the give away. So need them
The paper cutter! 🙂
These all look so amazing! I am a first time homeschooling mama and we are currently serving as missionaries in the Amazon of Peru. So I don’t have any of these nifty tools. If I do win it will be a tough choice between the Laminator and the Binder. But we plan to be visiting the States in April for furlough and have a US address!
This list is spot on! I use my school laminator because the scotch ones seem to small for all the laminating that I do.
I already own everything else but the binding machine….I saw a kids-made calendar project that I wanted to try this year but it required a binding machine… Maybe for next year?
I would love the laminating machine or the paper cutter!
I would LOVE the binding machine! I teach Writing at Special Ed School and my kids would LOVE to take home their stories and collections in a more “published” form like this! Thank you for the consideration!
I would like to win the paper cutter
I would love to win the laminator with multiple kids learning at home it would be great to have papers laminated for them to share over and over again!
I was literally just looking up laminator machines for home use! that would be great!
so cool! I’ve been wanting a laminator forever!
So many essential tools for our classrooms! If I had to choose just one I’d have to say the binding machine. As a first time stay-at-home mom/teacher my children love reading and writing their own books and this would be a great addition. Thank you Angela for putting together this giveaway.
I have a laminator-I use it all the time! I think the paper cutter would be so useful!
The laminator would be awesome!
Teaching Mama is great! Working with preschoolers, a laminator would be my first choice!!
So many fun and useful items!! Any of them would be a win!!!
the xacto pencil sharpener would be awesome! The manual one we had in our classroom just broke. 🙂
Tough choice! I’m leaning towards the laminator but the binding machine would be awesome too. Both are on my wishlist right now.
This is awesome! I’d love to win as a new homeschool teacher!
The laminator or binding machine. But I’d really like the laminator! Great list! Thank you!!
I would love the book binding machine!
i would love the lamina tor

The binding machine 🙂
Laminating was always my favorite as a teacher!! I’d love one for home school!!
I would love the laminator or the paper cutter. They are all great products!
I so agree with your wisdom and insight into the top five teaching tools! I would love a laminator. It would be such a help and timesaver.
I would love the book binder. I love making class books and then sending them home for the students to “read” them to their families. Right now i just use rings. To have the books bound would make them last longer.
Darlene Sutton
Thank you for sharing this! I didn’t know about the book binder! That’s what I’d choose to add to our classroom.
Eeee, so hard to choose. That laminator and the binding machine are dreamy!
I love love all of the items. but I would absolutely love a heavy duty stapler.
My laminator is a trusty companion. I use it all of the time to give resources a longer lifespan. I would love all of the other resources you have listed in this blog post. All would be a boon to me and save me time. I especially like the idea of having a heavy duty stapler as my staplers really struggle to do the job at times.
Laminator or the binder would be nice
I would love the laminator!!! So many daily uses for that!
In need of a new pencil sharpener!
A great list! The laminator or paper cutter would be so helpful!
I love all the items you posted, but a laminator is definitely number one on my wish list.
What an awesome giveaway! Thank you so much! The laminator would be my choice.
The home laminator would be great. Thanks
The laminator would be my choice, but all are awesome gifts.
Thank you.
I would so love any of these!!💗💗💗 Maybe the laminator or sharpener!
A laminator would benefit our preschool program a lot.
I would LOVE the laminating machine!!! My oldest daughter just started Kinder and is doing virtual learning at home. This would come in so handy because I can create more reusable items for her to use during class and for study. My youngest will be in Kinder next year so being able to have reusable items would be a money saver!
Would absolutely LOVE to have the papercutter in my classroom. We are constantly prepping materials so they will last through our 60 pre-k Speech/Language delayed kiddos each week! The cutters we have just don’t quite “cut” it–literally or figuratively many times. Would also add good quality scissors and circle cutters of various sizes–they save so much time!!
Oh that’s a good one. I’ve never had circle cutters, but I’m sure they are a time saver!!
All of those essentials are amazing! I never would have given a binging machine a thought but man that would be super cool and useful! I also love the stapler! Too many great choices!
Love the stapler! I never saw such a great one!
The laminator or the binder!! Oh my! The laminator at work is roughly 100 decades old and quite slow and troublesome to use !
I would absolutely LOVE the binding machine!
The heavy duty stapler would be great to win!
I have everything but the binder. What a great list for those just starting out!
They’re all awseome but I’d love the pencil sharpener and paper cutter!
I would love the laminator
I would love a binding machine.
All of these items are must haves! I’d love any one of them!
I would love a binding machine. I also have the laminator and it’s amazing. My two kiddos are able to redo the assignments all day long. They love homework.
I would love the paper cutter. What a great giveaway!
Ooooh, I would choose the laminator! I often have things that need laminating but our school machine has such thin and flimsy plastic!
The paper cutter at home would be amazing! I use the one at my school all the time!
I would love to have a laminator!!!
These are 5 great choices for classroom essentials. I’d love to have the binder.
You are so generous to offer this prize, Angela!
A binder would be awesome!
OH yes! A good pencil sharpener is important!
That binding machine would be a HUGE help! Right now, I have to go into the teacher’s lounge and drag out a 20 pound machine from a low cabinet. This one looks so much lighter. AND, it would be great to have one at home since we still have not gone back to in-person learning since last March.
I would love to win either the paper cutter or the binder.
I agree… a laminator is essential. My husband has even requested things be laminated–for instance when he had a diagram for a car he is restoring… we scanned and laminated it from the manual so he could look at it with greased up hands and not worry about damaging the book!
I have also noticed I’ve done a LOT of cutting lately, but I’m ok with that and with letting my little loves do the cutting and be ok with their imperfections.
But that binding machine!!! I remember using it in an office and it was amazing!! I hadn’t thought of using it for all the flip charts we have… letters, numbers, fun activity books we’ve made… the uses could be endless! The binding machine would be my pick.
Yes to all of this! My husband has used ours, too. It’s so handy to have at home! And yes, the binding machine is equally awesome!
the binding machine would add anew level of fun to my teaching.
Absolutely love all of these items, especially the laminator!!! Who doesn’t love a laminator?! 🙂
That paper cutter❤️
I would love the laminator. My remote learning business needs this. thanks
The Paper Cutter! I don’t have one, and my poor scissors are on it’s last cut. : -(
I would love the pencil sharpener!!!! I have not found one that lasts!
If theses items aren’t a teacher’s best friend I don’t know what would be.
The pencil sharpener would be helpful to me.
These are definitely teacher must haves!!!
I LOVE the pencil sharpener!!
I’d love the laminator! What a great giveaway!

Merry Christmas!

I totally agree that all those are must haves. I have most of them already, or something similar, the one thing I still need is a good binder, so I would pick that one!! Thanks for doing this!!
I’d love the heavy-duty stapler for stapling big IEPS and/or the laminator! Our librarians are in control of our school laminator and they do not allow for teachers to laminate themselves. This could really come in handy!
The heavy duty stapler would be amazing!
I would love to win the laminator. I have a paper cutter and up to this point it has been the best Christmas present ever! It saves so much time. Having a laminator would be great to save time and money by preserving the games and activities I print out or make. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a blessed Christmas time.
I would love to win a binding machine since I have all the other fabulous must-haves.
Amazing! I have all of these things except the binding machine so that is the one I’d pick! 🙂

laminator
I have a laminator and binding machine. I would love a good stapler (the long ones that reach the middle of small books that need to be stapled) or the pencil sharpener. I could never get a good sharpened to last when I was teaching high school.
I would love any of those items! Thanks for doing such a great giveaway.
I would love the laminator or binder!
Wow – as many others have said, these are all great! I think my first choice would be the laminator, but the great pencil sharpener is a close second.
The binding machine would be my choice
What an awesome giveaway! I would love to have a paper cutter.
Amazing giveaways!! I would love the laminator.
I would love to win the binder! We love our laminator and use it all the time, but a binder would really be handy.

This is great! The laminater would be the prize I’d pick.
I would love the binding machine! I’ve never used one, but it looks like a great resource.
Thanks, what a great idea! My pick would be the binder.
I use the laminator the most in order to be able to clean the materials I use after every use. The binder would be my 2nd choice because we create so many class books for our class library.
What a fun idea – thank you!
I love the idea of a home laminator to make things durable and dry-erasable!
Binding machine for sure!! The others are great tools also!!
I would pick the laminator for sure!! I miss having access to the laminator at school.

I’d love to have a laminator!
A laminator is a must, for sure! I actually bought one last year with a straight edge cutter attached to it. I would love to have a binding machine. I think It would prove very useful for in classroom projects, portfolios, of journals! It could also be useful with my 4 year old’s many drawings!
Love this! I would love the binding machine or the laminator!
Erica Dansereau recently posted…Dance Monkey
I’d want the paper cutter! No more scissors
These are all great resources. I would love to have the book binder. I currently have this on my wish list.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO please pick me! I have been wanting a home laminator!
Wow! This is amazing! I love everything. I would love to own the book binder!!
I would love a paper cutter in my classroom. Thank you!
The home laminater would be great!
I definitely need to get a book binder! This list is spot on.
My home laminator is so loved that I actually have 2!! The lamination is so much better than the school one. What I wouldn’t give for that stapler and pencil sharpener. Having different sized pencils in Kindergarten you definitely need one where you can change the sizes.
These are definitely must have tools! I would love to have the binding machine!
I would love to win the pencil sharpener! I agree, I have gone through and broke so many little sharpeners. I would love to have a good one that’s similar!
This is awesome what you are doing! I could use a Home Laminator!!!!
These are all great tools, it would be great to own anyone of these!

I would love the laminator. My school has limited laminating access.
The paper cutter would be life!!
I could really use a laminator in my classroom!
These are amazing items. I would love any of them as we are very limited here where I teach. Then being out in a portable makes things so difficult to have to go to the main building for laminating and use of other items we may need.
I would love to have a book binder. We are always making classroom books and I am trying to figure out how to put them together To hold up against 3 year olds. My top 5 items used in my classroom are laminator, dry erase markers, a stapler that opens all the way, markers and tissues.
I would love the stapler…or the paper cutter 🙂
I would love any. The paper cutter would be nice!
I would love to win the laminator!
The laminator 😍

I have a laminator, but need an upgrade for certain! Great post!
Wonderful giveaway. I would love the paper cutter
I am a new homeschooling grandmother. I would love a laminator. Having to reprint things is getting expensive in ink.
Those 5 are essential. I use the school binder machine and I own my own laminator at home and school – but these 5 would make every day so much more productive.
I would love to have a home laminator to create school things and preserve things at home!
I would have to say I want the paper cutter. It is too long of a walk to our work room and having one handy would be SO Beneficial:):)
I have ALWAYS wanted a binder to make class books and student journals. Winning one would make me soooo happy!
I would love the pencil sharpener!
wow this is so nice! I would love the paper cutter!
The binding machine would be great to make my kids work. I’m a homeschool mother and this would help tremendously.

The giveaway idea is awesome! Great items to choose from. I would love to have a laminator.

I agree with all of them although I do not have a binder which is what I would choose. Definitely can’t live without a paper cutter and a laminator!
I am entering my 18th year of homeschooling and agree that having some basic supplies makes the job easier. The one item I do not have is the binder. 🙂 Thank you for the wisdom and the giveaway.
I would love the laminator! Mine got broken when I let someone borrow it and I’ve been missing it.
That stapler would be amazing! 😍
I would love to win the laminator.

I would love the binding machine! That’s been on my want list for several months now. You have so many great teaching supplies, I use my laminator weekly!
Thank you for doing this giveaway.
As an OT in early intervention I would LOVE the laminator. In our preschool developmental classrooms we are constantly making communication pics, tracing pages, etc. Having to wait for stuff is hard!
I would love the paper cutter!
Paper cutter would be wonderful. Even the laminator. Thanks for sharing
I would love to win the binding machine or the paper cutter. Thank you for the awesome giveaway!
Hmmm so hard to pick because they all look amazing! I guess the swing line stapler is something I would use the most! My staplers never seem to do the job!
YES! A laminator would be a great thing to have at home!
I LOVE the binding machine!!! I’m usually making class books, individual work books for differentiation, and even kid-friendly photo albums for the classroom!
Being virtual, I’ve moved them into Google Slides so everyone can see them and be a part, but I do miss the books and seeing their excitement to read a shared book with friends.
I would like to win the Paper Cutter.
Wow! Thanks so much! Thanks for sharing.
It would be fabulous to have any of these items for my home or classroom.
Thanks!
I would be lost without my laminator! I have had mine for years and have sent home so many reusable resources that it only has a few projects left before it quits. I also wouldn’t mind the paper cutter.
Wow! These are great. Thanks so much!
I would get the binding machine! The one we have at school is ancient and SO heavy!!
I would love to win the laminator (mine is currently broken) or the binding machine (because I think I need one now after seeing your blog).
The pencil sharpener would be great! My Dollar Store sharpeners are not holding up well.
I would love the binder!! I love the products you suggested as a must have!!
All good supplies. Would love any of them. Thank you for the chance to win.
I’d love to have that paper cutter!!!
I’d love to win the paper cutter!

I would love the binding machine!! So many times I think, “This should be a book.”
Amazing giveway! Thank you! Can’t do without great paper cutter 🙂
These are all amazing tools! I have always wanted a binding machine though. So many things to make with those!
I really have been thinking that I needed a laminator. Now (if I don’t win it) I will know which one to ask for as a Christmas Gift. And I totally agree with the good pencil sharpener. I actually enjoy sharpening the girls colored pencils. Therapeutic!
🙂 It is therapeutic!
I love them all but would choose the stapler.
I’d love to have a laminator or a binder comb! We love making books with the binding comb! Also, I would love to bind all the birthday and Christmas cards I’ve kept!!
There are all great items!!! I would love to win the binding machine, until this year I didnt realize how needed it would be!
Those are all useful tools. I think I will most need the binding machine. I love making class books.
I just bought a laminator this year and it has made my heart SO happy!! Next on the list is a paper cutter – that would make prepping at home for my early childhood kiddos much easier!! The book binder would be fun too – though it intimidates me a bit!!!
I think i would have to go with the binder because i don’t have one and can see that being very helpful! I used to bind things all the time when i was working at a school and do miss that convenience!
Paper cutter!
Amen to that! I’d love a laminator! It would by far speed up the waterproofing of materials. Right now I just use packing tape! Lol
I’d love to have my own laminator or book binder! Thanks for the opportunity!
Awesome give away! I would love the paper cutter!
Thank you for doing this!!!! As a first year teacher (AKA full-time employee working from home and attempting to do virtual school with my kids) all of these would be marvelous!!
These tools would be so helpful! Thanks for the tips!
What a great giveaway! I would love to win the laminator!
I would love that amazing paper cutter! Always so many things to cut!

I would love the paper cutter, I hate irregular borders lol!!!
Thanks
The binding machine! I already have a laminator and totally agree must have!
I have the sharpener and the laminator. Defintely great tools that I use daily!! I would love the cutter. The one here at our school does not work well-the handle is broken. I love to have the cutter to share with my kindergarten team so we can make books for our students .
I would love the laminator. Right now during distance learning I feel like I am laminating more than ever and my current laminator is definitely wearing down
I’d love to win the home laminator for an amazing upgrade to using clear contact paper like I’ve done since i was a little girl! 😂
I would love to win the stapler. As a teacher there are 2 things I love to do: cut and staple. My principal used to tell jokes how we show up to meetings with something to cut or something to put together and staple. In addition, what a lovely stapler it is! I don’t know about you, but I am always given the cheap ones that break from school.
Great items! I would love any of them!
I would love to have the stapler. I have always wanted one! Thank you for doing this!
Great ideas!!
I’ve been wanting and needing a laminator for so long! Especially this year with homeschooling my 2 little ones.
I would love to win the binding machine. My Grandfather helped invent parts of the original binders and my Uncle ran a factory that produced the binders. I would love to use it to make books with my kids.
I can never find an amazing stapler- they all seem flimsy! If I won, that is what I would choose- if it works great for you, maybe it would be the answer to my stapler prayers! Thanks for hosting these giveaways!!
The binding machine would be amazing! Thanks for this opportunity!
Eek! I’ve been following you for years now, and I loved when you did the 12 giveaways last year. I love the products you recommend! Any of these sound like fantastic additions, but the binding machine looks awesome!! So many books!!!
I would love to win a nice durable stapler. It would come in handy this year as I am homeschooling my three children. I am constantly printing and making booklets and things so this would be great. Thank you so much for the opportunity!
These all look like amazing teacher tools! Thank you for always being an incredible resource for me and my students!
I would love a laminator but anything would be awesome. Your right teaching is underestimated when it comes to what a person needs to actually teach.
I would love to have a paper cutter to replace the old, tiny, cheap one I’ve had for years.
Paper cutter! We have been using a small one from my scrapbooking supplies and it just isn’t cutting it!
Bought a laminator and it has been fantastic!
I would love to win the laminator! Our school has a very tight budget, as many Title 1 buildings do, and we only have one roll of lamination left for the rest of the year!!!!
I would love to have the laminator or the stapler!
Thanks for an awesome giveaway!
All are must haves! A heavy duty stapler is a must have. The copy room never has a working one! 🙂
Great giveaway! As a homeschooling momma the laminator would be amazing!
All of these are great! The book binder or pencil sharpener are the only two I don’t have!
Wow! What a sweet giveaway! Thank you! Such a tough decision to pick from! I would have to say the at-home laminator!
I would love the large stapler or the paper cutter. I have a laminator and it is wonderful. I also use the pencil sharper a lot and it has lasted for many years.
I would love the laminate! Thanks!
I would love to win the paper cutter!
I would love a new laminator. Mine broke last year and I miss having one so much!
The binding machine would be a game changer in our classrooms!
I would love to have the Binding Machine!!! So many new ideas are running through my head already!!!! lol
What amazing prize options. I would love the paper cutter. Thanks!!
I would love the paper cutter! It would be so helpful to cut booklets for all the kids in my class!
I’d love binding machine or laminator. All are great!
I love my cutter and laminator. Would love to add the stapler or the binder to my collection.
Thank you for considering me.
This was so much fun last year! I never thought I would want or need a binding machine, but now I think I might need one.🤣
Thank you for doing this giveaway!
I’d loveeeeee the home laminator.
Super fun giveaway! Those are all great products! Good luck everyone!
I would love the binding machine. I had never thought about buying one of those, but now it is on my list!
Everything sounds so great! I would have to go with the laminator. Happy Holidays Everyone!
We love at home crafts. the laminator would be an awesome addition
laminator, paper cutter
I would love the cutter
I completely agree that these are all great supplies. Since I started teaching my little ones about a year ago, I have found that I needed to add some of these. I have not invested in a good pencil sharpener or a heavy duty stapler. Definitely the next items on my to get list!
The laminator please!!!
I would love to have the paper cutter!
Great list, these are my favorites too, love the stapler!!!
I have enjoyed your site. I would love the home laminater, all the items are awesome! Thanks
I would love to have a laminator. Your resources are amazing! This give-away is a great idea for all the tired teachers/mamas out there. Thank you for your generosity!
I’d love to win the laminator!!
I completely agree with the pencil sharpener. I have used it for years in my primary classroom. I also love my personal straight edge cutter but now I just need the personal laminator. Many teacher friends have one in their classrooms and their center creations seem so much faster than mine. I would love the laminator!
This is a tough one because in my special needs classroom, I am using all of them every day; and although our school has them all, it’s either a wait or they are always broken. So, the one that I have to wait the most for and is broken the most is the laminator so the would come in the handiest and be so nice to have one of my own. I could get things done so much faster for my students and that in and of itself would be a blessing.
The paper cutter would be so handy!
Great giveaway. I have a laminator and the cutting board and couldn’t imagine not having them. Would love the heavy duty stapler.
The binding machine would be so helpful for our small low income eligible center
I would love to get the binding machine. I create workbooks for my students and I am always looking for ways to make them last longer!
Thank you this is a great opportunity for any teacher. I have a laminator and cutter, so either of the other two would be a great addition to my classroom.
A paper cutter would definitely save time!
Ooh I’d love the stapler or book binder— my kids would love it for all the stories/books they write!
These are all great tools! I’m not in a classroom right now, so I think I’d get the most use out of the laminator.
These are all fantastic and generous offers! My choice would be the stapler! Thanks so much!
The laminator is absolutely the only way to go, I have to purchase a great deal of my own materials making it difficult to have what I need. The laminator gives me an opportunity to make durable learning materials so I have enough to go around. This would be amazing to win.
I would like the laminator
I’d love the laminator. Kindergarten students are ROUGH on things and paper never lasts.
The basics would be great…a good stapler or a much used pencil sharpener that doesn’t chew up the wood on the pencil….lol It’s the little things in life!
Paper cutter or the Swingline Stapler!
All items are great I sure could use any of them!
I’d love the binder!!
The laminator! Happy days of giving!
I’ve been wanting a paper cutter for a long time!
I would LOVE to have a laminator at home where I do most of my printing & cutting. My next choice would definitely be the paper cutter.
All of these are must haves!
I would adore the laminator. We are homeschooling with special needs and visuals are priority.
Laminators are awesome!
In total agreement with you 🙂
I currently have all with the exception of the binding machine – have yet to take the plunge on that purchase yet
Sharpener or Laminator would be awesome.
Laminator! Gets used almost daily in preschool.
What a great giveaway, I love these supplies for homeschool. I would love to a binding machine! Would make packets and printing curriculum so much easier.
The binder would be an excellent product to have. You could create booklets and give as gifts. It would be so much better than just stapling pages together.
My daughter is really in to making books and she is only 4 so I would love the binding machine but I love all of them.
I’d love to win the pencil sharpener! Mine has stopped working and sharpening with a hand sharpener is getting old:)
Thanks.
I’d love to have my own laminator!
Wow, this is so generous! I would love the paper cutter!
-Sarah in Florida
I would love the laminator or the binding machine.
Love your blog and emails! That binding machine looks awesome and it would be a great tool to have to make some homemade class books.
These are all perfect gifts. Thank you for your hard work and generosity.
I would definitely love the home laminator or binding machine! Both of those seem like great tools for at home or school! We do have a laminator at school, but a lot of times I have some last minute things at home or smaller projects that I don’t have time to do at work!
What a great idea! I’d love the binding machine!
I’d love to win any of these! Woo-hoo! 🙂
I would love to win the laminator. I’ve been following you for a long time and have been using your platforms and education print outs to help my son learn as he just turned 3 this last summer. We’ve been enjoying it and he has learned a lot from it. Thank you for doing this give away!
All great supplies to own! I have some, but I do not have the paper cutter! Thanks!
Honestly each one is a great gift! They would all be helpful, the laminator is my favorite, but a stapler, pencil sharpener, paper cutter.. alllllll amazing! Thank you so much! 💗✨
I would love the binding machine. So many times I have wished for one of these!
All of the items you have selected are great. They would work well in the library doing projects with students.
I think the stapler would be great
I would love to have the laminator. It would be great to have at home with my little boy. He loves it when I laminate things and he can use the dry erase markers. This is a GREAT give away.
What a wonderful giveaway! Thank you!
I love my laminator. I have never used a machine to make books.
What fantastic supplies! I see why you love them all! The laminator would be so helpful in so many projects!! I could even reuse projects with dry erase markers if they were laminated!
I always wanted a laminator!
This is such a generous give away. All of these tools would be very useful, but I would choose the laminator because I don’t have access to that at home.
The laminator would be amazing for my classroom! I have been wanting one, just haven’t had the funds!
I would like to win the binding machine! I think that would be a great asset to use in my pre-k class to make books of student work and student portfolios.
I would LOVE the laminator! Or the binder.
All of these are great! I would love to get the binding machine!!
Love giveaways! Thank you!
I’d love a laminate machine.
I’d love to win the stapler!!! I’d agree with all of these!
Oh my goodness that stapler looks so nice!
I forgot to say I’d love any of these teacher tools!
I would love the stapler!!
We do home preschool! I’d love to have the pencil sharpener. Useful item we don’t have!
Oh gracious! A laminator would be the first choice! The paper cutter would definitely save time, but there are so many things I’ve needed laminated and had to do without!
Honestly, any of the items would be a blessing to a classroom. I have used all the larger items at our public library. I would have to say the pencil sharpener is a definite must have.

Excellent choices for must-haves. I never thought of a binder and now I am dying to have one. 🤣
Paper cutter for me 🙂 thanks!
A laminator for SURE! I work at a colony school and we don’t have the luxury, so I get creative with packing tape 🙂
Good Morning! What an amazing giveaway! I think my favorite would be the heavy-duty stapler!
Booklet binder is such a good idea!
I would love to win a laminator. Teaching from home doesn’t allow the freedom to use the big laminator at school.

I would love the binding machine to use with my Kinders! We love to make class books and this would be a great way to preserve our books.
To be able to laminate small things quickly would be wonderful.
The binder or laminator would be great
I need the stapler. My current stapler does not go through a whole IEP.
I bet you have the same green Scotch laminator as I do. I love that thing. It may be slow but it does a great job. I would love to have a paper cutter for home so I don’t have to lug mine back and forth from school.
A great stapler! Mine always shatters and I Love this giveaway idea!

I would love the paper cutter! It would be nice to be able to have a portable one to work at home sometimes.
My students would benefit most from the binding machine. I love to make class books with the students and this would help them last longer!

I would love the binding machine!

I would love the laminator. It would be so helpful with homeschooling.
Oh how generous! I have always wanted a binder!!
This is amazing! I would LOVE the binder! It would save me money and trips to staples!
I agree all of those are so necessary in teaching. I think I would go with the stapler at this time, though it is hard to choose.
I think the binder would be cool to have! All the possibilities it would give.
I would LOVE to win the Heavy Duty Stapler. It would be AWESOME to have my own, and not have to borrow the one at school when stapling books, or journals for my littles. 🙂
I would love to win the binding machine. I have everything on the list except that. It would be so useful to have!!! 🙂
I would love the laminator!!! It has been on my wish list to purchase !!
I would love to have a paper cutter in my classroom!
I would love, love the pencil sharpener!

i love the stapler, i have one but it broke not that long ago 🙁 thank you for the giveaway <3
The paper cutter would be AMAZING!!
I would really like the laminator. It would help me with work (I’m working from home as a elementary librarian) plus I could find a lot of uses with my granddaughter!
I have been looking at binders to save my sanity and also my children from being buried in loose leaf paper!
Thank you so much for helping us all. I appreciate everything you do and on top of it taking the time to do such an amazing giveaway!

I would love a binding machine!

Wow~this is awesome!
I would love the laminator!
Hi! This sounds great!
I’d love that binding machine! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to bind a project, and having a bunch of three-ring binders and hole punch is just not the same. (I use my AmazonBasics laminator ALL THE TIME, it’s truly a staple in our house.) Thank you for this giveaway!!
Would love to have a binding machine at home!
My stapler went walking last summer and the ones in the teachers’ workroom I keep jamming (too many pages) so I’d really love that stapler!
I would love to win the home laminator! I have been wanting one for a while now!
I would love to have the binder! These are all amazing!
I would LOVE to win the paper cutter!!! Thank you!
The cutting board! This would save so much time and make sure that I have straight lines when I’m cutting their school photos to give to family.
I would love either the paper cutter or the stapler as I use both all the time and the ones that we have at school aren’t the best. I use them to get our Intervention materials ready for all the groups that we have. Thank you for the opportunity.
I would love to win the laminator.
I would love the paper cutter!
Ooh, that binder is amazing!!
I would love the laminator!
I would LOVE the binding machine so I could make books for each of my kids artwork each year to save for when they are older!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wonderful idea! Would love any of those items + sharpies!
I would love the paper cutter or laminator! Both are great items that would get a ton of use!
I love to have the laminator, the one at my work always eats what I need to laminate and it would be a lot easier if I had my own one to take home and so that I don’t have to share with the rest of the school as working in the nursery and all the display and work I have to laminate would be easier to have my own one
These are spot on!! A must for all teachers! I’ve lost count on how many laminators I have gone through over the years. LOL
Love ALL the items, but after using one of the laminators at work, I want one for myself for those “special” projects!!
The binding machine would be amazing !!!!
All are so great!
I would love the stapler! Nothing more frustrating than a stapler that doesn’t staple all the pages! Thank you!
I would love the laminator!! It would make everything last so much longer =)!!
A binding machine would be great for all those laminated materials!
I agree that all of those are critical tools!
I already own most of them but I’d love the stapler.
Great list! I have the other four…. The binding machine would be a game changer! 🙂
Sweet give away! I would want a binding machine! It’s on my wish list for one day. Lol 😊😊😊 thank you for sharing your list with us and the giveaway opportunity!

I would love the mainator! Thank you!
*Laminator
oops
I desperately need a decent pencil sharpener! Of course the paper cutter would be nice too…
Pencil sharpener for the win! I’m constantly trying to use the little handheld ones and they just don’t do the trick lol!
The laminator would be wonderful. My is on its last leg. What a wonderful way to start December.
Any prize would help make the season bright!
I would love to be able to laminate!!! We have that pencil sharpener and it’s a must. Our hole puncher is too!
I would love the pencil ✏️ sharpener. Yay!
The laminator would be so beneficial to make individual story to song props be more sturdy. These props would allow students to be more engaged, especially during distance learning. They could use these props to repeat the activity with their families too!
I use my paper cutter all the time. I bought it in college almost 30 years ago! I would love to have a laminator at home. It would be so helpful. 😊
I adore my binding machine and laminator. I use them all the time. I have a slide paper cutter that gets the job done, but that one looks like it would make life a million times easier!
Love them all!
I would love to win the home laminator!
This is very cool! Any of those items would be great! I use my laminator on a daily basis and noticed it sounds like it’s ready to die! I would choose that!
What a perfect list! As a homeschooling mama of 4 (ages 8, 6, 4, 2). Anything on this list would be a blessing. I’d definitely choose the laminator since we get creative with games and activities for learning around here. What a great start to your giveaway!💕
I would love to win the laminating machine, been wanting one to use for my daughter for the longest time. If I could have gotten all the supplies shown, they are amazing, I just love them.
The paper cutter would be great! My current one is getting dull.
Oh that binding machine would be nice
I would love any of them, but most needed is the paper cutter.
The binding machine or laminator would be excellent!
My first choice would be the stapler, but a binding machine would be awesome also! I have the other things already and you are so right about them being so necessary!
I don’t see my post from earlier so here is another one.
Thank you for being so generous.
I would love the paper cutter.
May God bless you.
These are all AMAZING!! The binder is my favorite!
Awesome giveaway! I would LOVE the laminator! I laminate so many activities for my kiddos but I have to wait to get to work to do it! It would save me so much time if I had my own!
Binding machine
Such a hard choice lol but I would love the paper cutter. We usually always cut things by hand since we moved offices.
I would love the laminator! I never realized how much time I get back when I can reuse items over and over again for years.
That is SO true!
I love having an laminator in my classroom. I would really like the paper cutter or the binding machine.
Amazing giveaway! These are brilliant!
Pencil Sharpener would be great, I am always borrowing one from the office. =) Our School supplies the rest….

Most definitely could use the at home laminator!
Wow! I have never seen anything like that stapler but now I want it! It would be great for stapling packets.
That binding machine would be so helpful! I’d love to make more booklets for my students.
I would love a laminator at home. I always laminate my games & task cards but have to wait for the person at school to get around to them. It would be great to be able to do them at home.
I would love the pencil Sharpener, mine always breaks.
I started following you and using your materials very recently and my girls and I love it!
Thank you! Makes me so happy to hear this!
I would live to win the binding machine!!! Thank you for the opportunity
I would love to have the binder!!
i would love to woin the laminator. You are so generous!
All such great choices! The binding machine is what I’d love to win!

I am a homeschool Momma and I think the Laminator would be so nice to have!
I would love the laminator!
I would love to have my own paper cutter!
I could use some these items since I am a home visitor.
The book binder! We love to put together homemade books with the class. 💜
I would love the laminator. I make lots of games. Thank you for sharing and giving opportunities to others as well!!
That looks like a great binding machine. I have a stack of things that need binding this year.
The paper cutter would be so helpful right now!
I would love the paper cutter!!
I would love any of these items for my homeschool classroom. 🙂
I love the binding machine. Brings back so many memories from when I was in school!
Thank you for your generosity. May God bless you.
I need a paper cutter. So I would pick the paper cutter.
The paper cutter!
Wow! This is an AMAZING giveaway! I have been eyeing a laminator so this would be perfect! I completely agree with all your essentials and have had my Xacto Pencil Sharpener for 13 years!!!
Wow! That’s pretty neat that your pencil sharpener has lasted so long!
I would love the binding machine. I never even considered owning one- I thought it was one of those magical things that only Staples can do 🤣
I can’t tell you how many times I wished I had a binder! This would be awesome! Thanks for doing these giveaways!
Love the giveaway as much as your cute ideas and activiites!
Oh all of these items would be very resourceful at home or at the workplace! I would have to choose the laminator. As said above at my workplace we are not allowed to use the laminator and sometime our beautiful creation come back in a distorted blob! I also feel that I would use the laminator a lot at home for my child’s artwork and photos. What a great variety of tools! Thank you for sharing.
I would love the paper cutter! I bought the Scotch laminator on your recommendation a few months ago and love it!
Yay! So happy to hear you love the laminator!
I would LOVE to win the binding machine!! This would help me so much with binding all of my adapted books for my students!!
Love the paper cutter!
I’ve had a laminator on my wishlist for a while now. Thanks for the fun giveaway!
Paper cutter for sure!
I couldnt live without my binding machine. Great giveaways!!!
Binding Machine
Yes, the binding machine.
Home laminator!!
I would love to win a paper cutter!! I enjoy doing crafts with my kids and a paper cutter would come in handy!
I love all of your suggestions but the one I can’t live without is the laminator…please!
I would love to win the binder and the paper cutter! I have 2 laminators (which are getting old), so the laminator would be my third choice. The heavy duty stapler would be great for stapling the students’ IEPs (they can become rather bulky).
I would love to win the paper cutter. Great give away. Thank you
I love the paper cutter, it would be so handy in our OT room.
Would love to win the laminator. Thanks for the giveaway!
All of them are Wonderful Tools!!! I would be happy with any of them! Thank you for your generosity!!!
So many great choices! Especially during remote teaching, but I think I am leaning towards the laminator.
I agree with you on all these supplies! I have and use all frequently, except for the laminator. For that I have to rely on the two very old ones we have at school. They take forever to warm up and sometimes destroy my work by “chewing” it up! So a laminator would be a great addition to my school supplies!
I would pick the paper cutter- i underestimated how useful that would be as we transitioned into home schooling!
I love this idea. This is very thoughtful. I would love the laminator. Teaching my grandson at home and this would be very helpful.
I agree with you about finding the perfect sharpener. After 20 years, I am STILL searching for it! The best one I have found so far is actually an old school style one but it never fails to sharpen perfectly. Problem is, you get tired fast if you are sharpening a lot of pencils. I LOVE my laminator and I have the same one. I am not sure it still works though since my kitties knocked over a snowglobe and it broke and the water went all over and into the laminator box.
I agree with you! The old school ones are the best, but do make your hands tired! 🙂 And I’m glad you love the laminator and I hope it still works!
I am a gramma of a 4 year old now but a former Montessori aide and office manager. All these items are sooo important!
I would love a binding machine to make more adapted books! I find adapted books work better for my students when we try to do a read aloud.
These top 5 supplies are awesome!
Wow! You are so generous! I would love the paper cutter!
This laminator has been in my Amazon cart!
I would love the laminator!
I would love a laminator! Absolutely a teacher must have – especially when we can’t be in schools right now!
I bought one of those laminators and it works awesome. I would love the binding machine. I print out my own books for my students all the time and it would be awesome to have something like this instead stabling books together. Thanks for the awesome giveaway.
I have always wanted a laminator at home!!!
For sure the binding machine! We have one at our school, but it is 1,000 years old!
The laminator would be amazing!
I would love to win the home laminator! It would help make all the great art ideas sturdy and savable. Thank You!!
I would love the paper cutter
All of these offer amazing classroom help!! My own personal paper cutter is on its last leg – I’d LOVE a new one!!!
I would choose the laminator. This is such a wonderful giveaway. Thank you so much for offering this.
I’d love the book binder!

Great supplies!!
I would love to win the binder! A teacher at my old school had one and I was ALWAYS borrowing it!
I would love to win the binding machine! I have never had one and would be able to use it for so many things in my classroom!
I love the paper cutter!! It has helped me so much during my teaching career!
I would love the home laminator! Making math games is my jam and laminating them means I can use them with both my children!
Omg! I would love to win the home laminator. I love recruiting my team to help me with lamination tasks for my SPED HS class but it’s challenging with us all being remote. I want to recruit my family for help and this would be a game changer!
These are all great resources to have at home! I could so use an at home laminator.
I would love the heavy duty stapler but with us teaching remotely I don’t know how much use I would have for it in class.
Home laminator, heavy duty 3 hole punch, felt tip makers called amazon basics, paper cutter, and heavy duty stapler
I’d love the laminator!!!
I would love the binding machine
It’s a toss up between the laminator and the binding machine.
I have all of these items except the binding machine – I always spend lots of money going to shops to bind items for me, my kiddos and teachers. I would LOVE the binding machine, but the other products are MUST haves – I use my laminator for everything around the house too!!!
this is awesome! I would love to win the binding machine!
Would love a binder! I use my laminator weekly!
I would love the laminator or maybe the paper cutter!
The Laminator SOUNDS amazing!!!
The paper cutter!
Thank you for doing this!
Wow thank you! I rely so much on my laminator, but it is broken 😞 I would love to have another!
All of those things are must haves! I am the only one that uses the book binder in my school.
I would love a laminator so that the turn around time to begin using a new game would be shorter.
All great teacher supplies! The laminator is my top pick!
Oh my goodness… the paper cutter. I have a laminator and binder (MUST HAVES!), but that paper cutter would be a game changer. =)
It will be great to have a laminator machine.
These are awesome items!

So many good choices! I’d choose the laminator. I LOVE to laminate everything. With little kids using them, it makes them last long, plus with everything going on right now, it makes things easier to wipe down too.
I hope this is the right way to enter in the giveaway! I love all these!
I would like to win the home laminator because i just started homeschool for my 3 and 4 years old and the best thing is to keep them having fun and entertainted with durable pages and keeping safe the planet not wasting papers
Same here! These would all be useful for everything!
A home laminator sounds wonderful!
I would love to get the laminator! At my school, we are not allowed to use the school laminator by ourselves and it is always so flimsy! Great Idea!

Laminator!

OH I would definitely choose the binding machine! I have 2 special needs kiddos and creating personalized social stories, calendar pictures and portable books and communication boards are a MUST in this house just to decrease anxiety and communicate. Also, could be great for teacher or class gifts for Christmas! Very useful
I agree on the binding machine. Personalized social stories and mini books for my special needs kids would be a game changer.
I would love a new laminator! My laminator just broke and I have been lost without it. That paper cutter is the best ever! I use it all the time 🙂
I would love the home laminator as a new teacher!

I, too, would love the paper cutter. A lot of time is spent trying to cut out pieces or cards for activities.
I would be exited to win any of these items.
Laminator, definitely. I would love to have one.
My choice would be the book binder. I work in a self contained classroom, I use a lot of adaptive education books , so thats a lot of adaptive books for eight kiddos. This would help my classroom so much.
Thank you,
Carrie
