Must-Have Homeschool Supplies

Being prepared and organized with your homeschool supplies is a great way to start the year. It can be hard to decide what are the must-have homeschool supplies you may need, but a good way to do it is to make a list.

As you go through your curriculum, you can make a list of the different supplies you may need for projects or to aid in your teaching throughout the year. Being prepared can save you time and money.

If you are looking for some ideas on what homeschool supplies you should have on hand for the year, these are just a few ideas that may work.

Must-have homeschool supplies

Laminator

Having a laminator in your homeschool classroom can come in extremely handy. You can easily laminate school materials and references so that you can use them over and over.

I didn’t know what I was missing until I got one. I use it for so many things like vocabulary cards and schedule and chore cards.

A Good Printer

I have a HP Instant Ink printer that I use so that I don’t have to worry about ink running out. I have the HP 8710 and it is a beast and lasted for 3 years now. It may be discontinued now, but I’m sure they’ve come out with better versions.

I do suggest getting an all in one printer that copies and scans because as a homeschooler, you’re going to be printing out a ton.

When you buy an HP Instant Ink printer, you usually get a promo with 3 months of free printing.

If I didn’t have an HP Instant Ink printer, then I’d go for the Epson Ecotank so again, you don’t have to worry about refilling their ink cartridges all of the time.
