My Favorite Printable Supplies
Here are some of my top go-to supplies for creating printable games and activities:
- Printer: A high-quality printer is essential for the best results. If you’re in the market for one, I recommend the Canon Pixma MG3620 for its reliable performance.
- White Cardstock: For most projects, I suggest using cardstock. It’s much sturdier than regular printer paper and often gives you a crisper, more professional print.
- Crayons: A must-have for any crafting household! Crayola crayons are always the best choice for vibrant colors and smooth application.
- Kid-Friendly Safety Scissors: Ideal for little ones learning to cut. These scissors are designed to cut paper, not fingers or hair, making them perfect for young crafters!
- Glue Sticks: I love using disappearing purple glue sticks. They’re easy to apply and dry clear. I always stock up in bulk because we go through them quickly!
- Lamination Machine: Laminating your printables helps them last longer, especially for reusable games. If you’re laminating, don’t forget to grab some dry-erase markers for added flexibility.
- Dry Erase Pockets: A great alternative to laminating, dry erase pockets make it easy to reuse games and activities without the need for a laminator.
