Reusable Work Book



This is very handy if you have kiddos. When they need lots of practice handwriting, but you don't need piles of worthless papers. So see, it's also good for the environment.
What you need:
Workbook for child's skill level. We got some great Disney(c) ones at the Dollar Tree.
A binder or pronged folder that has a pocket insert in front.
Page inserts (20).
Dry erase markers.

For mine I would have preferred the binders you can simply add a picture to the front. I know the dollar store has carried them, but no luck this time. I happened upon some fifty cent binders at Walgreen's and used some laminate I had (try contact paper but be sure to rub it on well). I pulled out the staples and cut the pages in half from there (each whole page separated from it's partner).
After 'laminating' the front to the binder I simply added the twenty page protectors and inserted the pages in order. Easy peasy!

Three bucks for each folder!  Plus a buck to pick up some multi packs of dry erase markers! Woohoo!

*You don't have to worry about being organized and losing loose papers sent home by the              teacher.
*You will begin to build their confidence by allowing mistakes to be wiped away.
* They view it more as an activity than as a 'homework'.
*Get out the camera when they do really well and make a big deal of it.
*Re-usable for the next kiddo, or to pass along.
