Amazon Classroom Supplies I Keep Repurchasing

There are a few Amazon classroom supplies that I’ve continued to repurchase for my classroom. Amazon is my go-to for convenience items for the classroom that arrive quickly and that I can depend on. Though I wish I didn’t have to purchase anything with my own money, it’s the reality and something I choose to do. Below, I’ve put together a list of Amazon classroom supplies I’ve continued to purchase for my classroom!

My Amazon Classroom Supplies List:

  1. Laminating pouches-I have tried the less expensive brands to try to save money, but Scotch always wins for durability. Durability is worth paying for!
  1. Vkey velcro dots– These are the most durable I have found. I love this brand more than the Velcro brand ones.
  1. Mesh bags– These are a recent discovery for me, the bigger pouches hold a normal sized piece of paper which is great for storing centers and any activities with loose pieces.
  1. Page Protectors– I used these for just about everything in my classroom. They are especially useful for organizing paperwork and for keeping my teacher binder in order.
  1. Zip Lock Bags– A classroom item I don’t like running out of. They are perfect for transferring items from school to home and vice versa. I always add a note in sharpie to the label box on the outside of the bag.

6. Fidgets– The 50 pack is necessary! I like to keep a wide variety of fidgets in my classroom so that I can rotate them and keep their interest peaked with using fidgets as a self regulation tool.

Classroom Supply Buying Tips

I hope this list of amazon classroom supplies I’ve repurchased was helpful. Before purchasing anything or feeling pressure to have all of these items, I would hold off until you follow these classroom buying tips below:

  • Are there parents asking for specific things they can contribute to the classroom? Provide them with an “optional donations” list
  • Is there a school sped budget that you can use to purchase some of these items?
  • Does your district reimburse when you spend up to a certain amount on classroom supplies?
  • Have you checked facebook marketplace or Goodwill for any of these items?
  • Can you make an amazon wishlist to share with friends and family?

Keep in mind that although Amazon classroom supplies are useful, they are not necessary. Your students will always remember how you made them feel over what kind of laminating pouches you purchased.
