My solution to this problem? Page protectors!
I have enjoyed this method for several years. First of all, they are SO much easier to store. I place them all in a bin, and they fit perfectly. Next, they are very durable. I have been working with the stack shown for about THREE years! Last, but definitely not least, I bought a pack of 50 for less than $10! Talk about "THRIFTY!"
This year, I am going to work on figuring out a solution to the erasers. We presently use tissues cut in half, but I feel like we may be going through them too quickly. I have seen poms glued to markers, towels cut into mini squares, $1 erasers from Target, and more. Do you have a great "eraser" technique? Please do share.

Use washed old socks cut in half!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this idea! Thank you! We have quite a few missing their pair. This might be my next trial. =)
DeleteI love this idea! About 5 years ago I bought a package of mens, short cut, black socks to use for erasers. They have been great! I store the markers inside the socks so it's quick and easy to hand out markers and erasers in one. At the end of the year, I take the socks home and wash them for the next year.
ReplyDeleteFelt cut up into squares works perfectly!
