Elmer's All Purpose Clear Glue Sticks, 7 ct
These pencils are the best! I am a bit of a snob with my writing utensils but these are really worth it. You don’t have to sharpen these as often and when you do sharpen them the lead doesn’t break like the others. I have actually sharpened pencils f...

Flair Felt Tip Pens - Paper Mate
These sharpen so much better than the other brands and will last longer for your kiddos. The colored lead in these don’t break nearly as much as the off brand ones. I used to not think there was a difference and I bought the ones from the dollar stor...

1000PCS 3D Animal Reward Stickers for Kids
The fine tip sharpies are the best thing to label the students stuff so things don't get mixed up. The fine tip makes it easier to write clearly on small spaces. I know in pre-k we have to have a name and date on every lunch bag and drink. Plus label...
Sharpie Permanent Markers, Ultra Fine Point, Black, 5 Count

BIC Xtra Smooth Mechanical Pencil, 0.7 mm, 40 Count
