Original buying notes
Choose bottles, plates, bibs, and cups that are easy for adults to label, clean, and restock. For younger classrooms, prioritize simple lids, durable materials, and backup items that can stay in a cubby or supply bin.
Paper, glue, cardstock, notes, and markers disappear quickly during seasonal art projects. Bulk packs are most useful when they can support multiple activities without requiring a last-minute supply run.
Tissues, gloves, and cleanup bags are everyday adult-managed supplies. Keep quantities modest enough to store neatly, but large enough that teachers are not replacing the same item every week.
Teacher prep and staff-room items work best when they are predictable, easy to share, and simple to replenish. Favor supplies with broad everyday use over novelty items.
