you'd like to see how it's going for us and how i kind of customize it for my little ones okay so all of this stuff is from different places so like from target from ikea from walmart from amazon and as i go through i will kind of tell you where it's from i'm hoping to film this quickly because my little ones are just in their room cleaning up right now and i never know when they're gonna finish so if you hear them in the background that's what's happening i've got one right here that keeps trying to get into the stuff say hi hi and what i wanted to mention also is that i know a lot of you guys are new homeschoolers when you see all of this stuff please don't get overwhelmed this is not something that you need all you need to start homeschooling is your basic homeschool supplies something to write with something to write on and your curriculum books that's pretty much it and so all of this stuff and so all of this stuff that i have is just kind of extra and the reason i want to share this with you is because something that i have here might be something that you're looking for and so that's why we share these kind of hauls so that way it kind of gives you an idea of oh i can use this for this or that for that so that's it so without any further ado i'm going to turn the camera around and show you what i've got all right y'all so here we have it and it spills off over onto the floor over there so i am going to show you that a little bit later um so we'll just start over here so a lot of this stuff right here i got from walmart and these first things right here are pouches i want to put these in their science binders so they have their pencils and scissors and crayons and everything that they need in there and i don't have to um kind of place them every time oh this is not supposed to be here and over here we've got some watercolor paints um that are really inexpensive out at walmart over here i have these dry erase boards and i put these in with their curriculum because their curriculum calls for it and i definitely use it all the time so i have three of these and these are not very expensive at walmart and they are they like are really good quality um so i really am glad that i found those here i've got a sketch pad and this is kind of a neat little thing it's got a little pocket cover here and i got this one don't tell him i got this one for solomon because he is always drawing so it's just pretty much it's just paper he is always drawing and always asking for paper so i got this for him so that way he can have something to write and then he can decorate the cover if he wants he is really really into drawing right now so i got that um these over here are actually not from walmart these i got at a homeschool um consignment store that is in my area and here mammals um and this one is basically just kind of almost like a dictionary of all of the different mammals so this was kind of neat i thought this would be a really good resource for when we're going through our mammals unit which we are going through right now this i also got we are studying american history this year and i know this says it's for middle school but i thought this would be kind of a great like read aloud for us i'm going to start doing morning time so i figured this would be kind of a good resource um and i mean eventually they will be in middle school right so i'll still be able to wear uh use them um and look at these guys we found these at the consignment store also these little dick and jane readers and i just thought that these were just so cute it reminds me of all the good and the beautiful readers that we have so we have that one i believe we got another one oh yeah here we go um and i had them pick out whichever book they wanted and so the girls got that one see we've got some other like my first or i can read um david and the giant and dan of the den which i'm assuming is um daniel and the lions did and then over here again like i said we're doing american history so i got we sing america i realize that i don't i haven't been teaching the kids a lot of the old you know american folk songs so i thought that this would be a really good way to kind of introduce that i think i'm going to play it in the background like for circle time sorry uh morning time morning circle time we're kind of doing both this year so yeah so i thought this was a really good resource and these y'all i have been wanting to get these i've seen them kind of everywhere on youtube and i've been wanting to get these so bad um it's harriet tupman and like i said we're going through american history and unfortunately this is part of our american history and so i think i'm going to kind of just take a look at it and i don't know if i'm just going to use it as a read aloud or i'm going to use it as the unit study this is a unit study guide the next book here is like states and capitals and this is a really good one i think i will keep this in our morning basket too when we're going through the different states i'll just pull it out and we can read facts about all of the different states and this one draw usa i'm so happy that i found this at the consignment store this is such a neat it's a step-by-step guide to drawing the united states we did this one for africa and we have it for europe you can get these on amazon also and look at this this is just step by step this is so neat i thought we could kind of just one day just kind of go through and draw all of it and then paint it or trace it or you know whatever we did do it for africa like i said and i just had so much fun with that this personally so so this is such a good one for the kids also and then i found let's see this activity book i don't know if this is usborne no it's not usborne but i have seen oh it's kane miller um but it's just an activity book across the usa they only had one i know you can get this one on amazon so i don't know if i'm going to try and get this for my boy solomon also or if i'm just going to kind of keep this for abby for her time when she is up and the other kids are taking naps and then the last book we have here is my body and this one is actually recommended uh by classical conversations which we are studying the human body this year in cc and this one was recommended um and i found it there at the consignment store so i thought this was a good pick okay so i put all those books back so let's come over here let's start down here because that's going to be hard to kind of go through on top um so i got just some white out i believe i got this one at target i love these little white out things these are like my favorite um so i got white out ticonderoga i got the pre-sharpened ones and i only got a little pack this time because we still have some left over from last year so but they want these pencils like everywhere in the house so i got some more because that way we can have one like kind of everywhere these i got from the target dollar spot no that's not right i got these actually from walmart so walmart back in their book section they have these and these are very similar to the ones that are at the target target dollar spot um yeah i got one for each of my older kids and we'll just kind of use it kind of sparingly here and there i think okay and coming up here you guys this tape is the best tape in the world it really is transparent i know a lot of times we'll get transparent tape and it is really not transparent but this is really good um i can't remember if i got this at walmart or target but i mean you can get this anywhere no oh yeah walmart and then this one is from target and i got this first and i didn't know if this is the one that i liked or that one was the one that i like so one of these is the best tape in the world we'll figure out which one it is um these i got from walmart so this anything with this pen and gear is the walmart office brand and it is so good i love everything from pen and gear it is good quality for not a very expensive price so i really like pen and gear so i got three different sharpeners and these will go inside their latch mate bins and so they will each have one so we don't have to go around looking for all the pencil sharpeners when we need it crayons these were 50 cents each at target and at walmart now these dry erase markers are some of the best dry erase markers that i have ever used um because a lot of dry erase markers it's hard to take to erase them which is kind of weird but these are really good they erase really well and they lasted us all year towards the very end i want to say like the last month or so they started to kind of die down as far as like ink and stuff but they lasted all year long you guys and so i highly recommend these and they're not very expensive like i said that pen and gear brand from walmart is really good i also got these gel highlighters these are mostly for me i like to highlight things and um i just kind of want to try these out um now coming over here now this was in a package and i had to use it last night so i got a hole punch um i think this is from target oh gosh i can't remember it might be from walmart but i got it because i just could not remember if i had one or where mine was and um i didn't want to have to worry about looking for one i think it was only like two bucks or something and then i got some scissors because for some reason we have run out of big like adult size scissors i don't know what happened to all of those but and so here i got some tie dye this is from walmart i thought this would be a really good like first day of school activity and actually there were some people there at walmart and she said they have looked all over the place for a good tie-dyed paint and this was the best and the cheapest so um yeah so praise god that i was able to meet them so i got different colors i think i also have another red and i also got t-shirts um from walmart there i could only find the youth size so i got used size small so they're gonna be a little bit big on them but that's okay i mean this is all for fun and then i actually got the baby one too so i'm excited about these okay let's just go down from here here are some craft supplies that we got googly eyes y'all these are a hot commodity in this house like i had to pry them away from my boy to film this video for you guys so he is like chomping at the bit waiting for me to film this video so he could open these and get into these so i don't actually know if these are actually gonna make it to the next school year but um yeah so i got large ones i got colored ones and these are all from walmart normal sized ones because i know that in the good and the beautiful um pre-k they use googly eyes for a gluing activity um and then kind of a variety pack um pom poms i mostly got these for the big pom-poms because we use them to erase the dry erase boards and i keep one pom pom in each of their latch made bins down here we've got glue and these are on sale at target also i believe this was 250 for the pack so i think it comes out to like 50 cents each stick um and this should last us our whole school year i don't know because oh my kids have just been using up glue like crazy and that's okay because i want them to get be creative and i i mean these are super cheap so i can just go by and get some more even if they're not on sale i got these packs of erasers because i have one and for some reason they really want to use my eraser all the time so these were on sale and i got them um each their own and that's not supposed to be here and we've got a sock here too oh this is how it goes right okay let me come back up here so here we've got a bingo game this i got at target and we got united states geography bingo and i thought that this would be such a good thing i'm i have a few other games that i'm getting from amazon um and i just i really want to play more games with the kids this year and like i said we're studying american history and so i'm looking forward to that the kids love bingo games so i'm looking forward to that this here i have mini craft sticks and on the good and the beautiful um facebook page there was someone that recommended these um to use these for the good and the beautiful math level k as tally marks in the in the math activity box they give you toothpicks but the toothpicks kind of roll around and they're hard to kind of manipulate sometimes and so she said that she uses these and i thought that was so brilliant like my mind was blown so and they're not very expensive i knew right away from the packaging where they were from they were from walmart and so yeah they're so easy and they're so tiny that they would fit um and i just need a few of them to fit into the math activity box and it'll be perfect okay going down from there we have these pens i got them at walmart they're the felt tip pens and if you have seen my um i don't know i think a few different videos um i say on there that i really love the felt tip pens from sharpie um and so i opened this up don't tell target but i open this up and they seem to look like just like the sharpie ones and so i think i'm gonna have these as my planner pens um because they're just so pretty um so every once in a while girls gotta invest in some pretty pens right so coming down here we got all kinds of markers y'all um so washable markers just little thin ones and then we've got the classic markers and then these were from the target dollar spot i don't have a lot from the target dollar spot in this haul because the target dollar spots in our area are non-existent right now i don't know what's happening well i do know what's happening a lot of stuff is happening in the world um so that's just kind of causing the dollar spots to just be a little bit late this year and that's okay i mean i'll probably go at some point later on and just kind of check out what they've got but everything else was kind of already on sale so it was fine these are chalk markers i'm wanting to use um our chalkboard right there and kind of draw a little bit more on it um just the different things maybe draw like a heart or human body or something like that i'm not that great at it but i can copy pretty well and so i want to see if i can draw something like that i don't know if these markers are going to be good for that but i wanted to get some chalk markers these are some stamp markers you know you open them up and they're actually stamps and um and markers so that's neat um and i apparently have some more washable markers down there my kids love markers so let's just kind of move over on this side here these i did get at the animal um no the target dollar spot and they're just cute little books and i thought that these would be good my um oldest really likes animals and so i thought that these would be um kind of interesting for her and then big cats this will be good for um the mammals unit also um so yeah so i got that and then at the target dollar spot they had um glitter paint and i have a feeling this is going to be opened right after this video also and this i got for my toddler um it's just kind of tracing and stuff like that um these kumon books are really good let me see look we've got this one um and these are this is one i have right here and these are just really good tracing books for little hands um this i got from target but you can get these at walmart you can get them on amazon um they're the melissa and doug reusable sticker pads and this one you guys have has actually been um they've already kind of done it all but they're so neat you've got five different scenes here and they just have pads of reusable stickers and this can keep my kids busy for a long time i actually think they have all the stickers in a bucket so they took it all off um but this can't keep my my kids busy for a really long time i actually got two of them the other one has like trucks and stuff but that's in my boys room i highly recommend this as far as having activities for them if you want them to kind of sit while you're doing school with the other kids so this i highly recommend next thing up here is i've got these twistable crayons and i love these crayons for my toddler mostly um because she can't break them and she can't eat them so that's pretty much it so i like those for my toddler up here we've got a huge stack of just paper things so here we've got heavy paint and marker paper from target obviously um astro brights and i really like the colors of these astro brights and these are mostly for me like for um um if i want to print any sort of reading chart or something like that on a colored paper i don't like primary colors you guys i if you can tell from my school room i i really don't like primary colors so having this is nice for me because they're more neutral colors but they're still fun colors that the kids can enjoy the next thing i got just your you know your regular um wide ruled paper and this is just for um their science journals now construction paper this is also a hot commodity in our home they love construction paper so this is probably not the last bit of construction paper that i am going to buy this year and then printer paper we got i got the big one 750 sheets from target um i actually can't remember if it was even on sale but i wanted to get some printer paper because well for printing that's it i don't have to make a bit a different reason for it just so we can have paper for printing the next thing i got here is i got some binders for their memory notebooks um because their memory notebooks are starting to get a little bit um like the rings are breaking and stuff like that so i wanted to get binders for that here i have um the twistable here i'll pull it out for you the twistable colored pencils and we really liked these we use them all year long um the only thing about these is sometimes the crayon itself pushes back in to the pencil while you're trying to color and so that's kind of annoying but these um other than that these worked out really well and that doesn't happen with all of them just with certain ones and i can't tell which ones exactly it happens with so it's just kind of a hit or miss with that one um we've got elmer's glue which was on sale at target also i think it was 50 cents each we have index cards over here and i got these because more than words does the thing where you create flash cards and so i got these for that and then also i know the good and the beautiful has um certain activities where you use these and so it's always nice to have index cards because you know what the kids can create books and they can play with these really well so index cards are really good to have around now these are from the target dollar spot this is just sketch pads again drawing is a huge thing in my house right now so i got one for each of my older kids and then watercolor paper and i'm going to use this the good and the beautiful calls for watercolor paper a lot and i love that because a lot of artwork and i really do think that's why my kids are so into painting and coloring right now because they weren't before we've done it so much with our curriculum and so we've got these watercolor sheets i'm going to keep some like this but i'm also going to put them in abigail and solomon's student notebooks and i will be showing you those student notebooks in their curriculum videos um coming up really soon and so i got three of those let's see where are we at the next thing over here um our little town had a little like um it's kind of almost like a trunk or treat where um you go we went to a parking lot and we just opened up our trunks and sold um like curriculum and books and homeschool supplies from our trunks it's like the black market as homeschool supplies so this stack of books is from theirs again we are studying american history this year so i got the is like who was books and my kids um they might be a little bit too young for these books still but i think my oldest one will be able to enjoy these and i might do it kind of as a read-aloud and stuff so who is christopher columbus what are the twin towers what is the statue of liberty what was the first thanksgiving what was d-day who was george washington what is the declaration of independence and what was the boston tea party these aren't all of the american history ones that this um brand has but these were each like two bucks and so i nabbed them up pretty quickly and this one i got for my toddler just a little kind of classic for her um but just in a very gentle way my friend rachel over at seven and all has a whole video about like classic books written for toddlers and for preschoolers and so here it is yeah baby lit book and so i know you can get these like at costco and different things like that but i'm going to link her video down below because she gave me some really good ideas um i don't think this one was in her video but when i saw this i like recognized it as a book that was kind of that same idea and so i'm going to link her video down below if you have preschoolers or toddlers and you'd like to introduce them to different books like a midsummer night's dream and um what was it there's a whole bunch of books that she has in that video then i will link that below so that way you can go and check that out it was such a good video i also got this the giving tree i want to do more poetry this year and shel silverstein has some good ones um and i just i've been this is a book that i have been wanting for a while and i want to get more shel silverstein books for the kids and then this one was actually recommended by my friend ashley over at joyful noise learning and um i think we might do this for bible it kind of goes through um just different things about theology and theology y'all is a hard thing to teach your kids but this book is made for kids and i've seen this book around youtube for a while but it was ashley's video that finally got me to just go ahead and buy this book so i thankfully i found it at our um black market homeschool sale all right so the next thing is i want to show you this here and this box is actually part of it this is a shelf that is going to go here instead of this and it looks like this so it's a little but it's a just a little size so instead of a full size like this it's just half so it's just going to be a little square cubby shelf um from ikea that i'm going to put over there and so let's get a little bit closer down here okay so most of this stuff is from ikea um but some of it is not so i will tell you so this i figured this would be a really good blanket for them for right here in their little reading nook corner area um and so that way they can be nice and cozy as they're reading their books i also might give it to the girls for their room i'm not really sure but that was i love the color of this so i love that so ikea y'all has a really good school and craft supply area so these are kind of like those stamps from target they are um markers but they're stamps so oh my gosh you guys my kids have been wanting to break into these also for a while now these are so good these are some of the best um pencils that i have um bought and if you see here um and i think you can do this with a a number of different pencils but if you draw it and then you use a watercolor brush with water you can turn it into watercolors and we have done this a lot and they're super cheap y'all they were super inexpensive and now of course i don't remember how much they are but you can just go to ikea and calm and just like figure it out but these are not very expensive at all i mean i got two packs of them and it comes with a little sharpener in there too so that's really nice okay the next thing i got if you are looking for some inexpensive watercolor paint brushes or just paint brushes in general these are very good again not expensive i want to say like three bucks or less and um these lasted us all year long also and so i just wanted to kind of get some fresh ones for the school year because they're not very expensive so i got two packs of those the next thing now these were on clearance so i'm not sure if you can still get them just keep falling on me um but they're little boxes so you know they're still wrapped because i don't wanna unwrap them until i know where i'm gonna use them um but they're just little boxes like that and i think i'm just gonna use them as homeschool storage here in the homeschool room um i like kind of close things like this where you can't see what's inside because what's inside is usually um very messy um and i like these two because they're kind of nice they've got the little edging here this little silver edging so i've got three of those um and they fit in these like shelves right here they fit in within the cubby shelves so this next section here is ikea also i want to get a little bit more um toys like fine motor skill toys for my toddler and these are really great these are beads and they're wood and she can paint them if she wants to or she can just leave them like this or she can use them as blocks and so i thought this was really good and it comes with like a case for it then we just have some paints i mostly got this you guys because my abigail was with me and she asked for them so that's it here i got um a basket now this basket here is from ikea and i think i am going to use this as our morning basket um i'm going to put it right on top of this shelf here kind of soften it up a little bit um and yeah i think yeah that's what i'm gonna do i'm gonna use this in a morning basket okay so the rest here is from michaels and this i got kind of at michael's dollar spot did you know that michael's has a dollar spot it's right there in front um right before you get to the cash registers and so i got this there and um abby is always creating she is always always creating and is constantly asking for staplers and tape and scissors um and so i got this for her as a kind of gift for her and we can keep it in her school bin and so she can know where it's at and she can take it out whenever she wants to create things and now this you guys i get asked about these a lot um more than i thought i would and these are just crayon cases and i um each one of my kids has one of these and i put their crayons in it and it's theirs for the entire year and they are really great and they snap together so the crayons don't fall out and yeah these you can buy almost anywhere i'm pretty sure i saw them at target um i got my other ones at walmart these i saw at michael's at the dollar spot at michael's and so yeah you can get these almost anywhere you can even get them on amazon but they are a little bit more pricey at amazon i think these are a dollar each at michael's this is also from michael's um this is part of their like latch mate oh i guess recollections or whatever but these fit in the latch mate bins and i just got these because these are really good to have and i know i'm going to be doing a lot of organizing and i if i don't use this for homeschool i know i can use these in like my kitchen cabinets or in my drawers or somewhere in the house even in my closet for like jewelry and stuff like that or even for clothes in their drawers like so these are just really handy and really good to have around so i have the small little square ones like that and then i have the long ones that and again these fit into the latch mate bins the tops of the latchmate bins really well okay so the next thing i got here is i got these um happy planner discs for abby and i'm going to use these for her student notebook i am creating her a student notebook this year and so um i wanted to do that i'm going to do kind of a rainbow theme for her so i got her some new discs at michael's okay and so this next thing big old monstrosity that we have right here this is actually from walmart and i had never seen it before but what it is it's these um it's got five nope six it's got six of these no five it tricked me um it's got five which is what i thought it had it's got five of these um little cases in here um and then they all fit into the bin and so what i was thinking of using this for is um like i said i'm going to be doing a morning basket this year i think and so i can put little activities different activities in each of these bins when it's morning time then i can pull out this bin and each of them can pick an activity to play with for the entire morning time i know that this might cause issues as far as fighting and sharing um but i'm going to try this and see if it works but i will keep you all updated as far as um if this works for our morning time but i thought this was such a neat idea um and i haven't seen this anywhere else where it's got these containers inside a bin and i've got five kids and so this is going to work really well for us i think i don't know we'll see all right one more thing and i'm super excited to show this to you guys um okay so i got this for our vocabulary words from the good and the beautiful um science units and so what i'm going to do is i think i'm going to put it right here so this is what we're using right now but like i said before um in one of my other videos i can't remember which one um there's not enough room here the mammals unit has a lot of vocabulary words and so i'm going to just hang this right here and i'm going to hang the vocabulary words right there too now this also comes with it was these it came with um little clothes pins and then i got these at walmart because i didn't know if it was gonna come with um enough or not it looks like it might have enough in there but i got these at walmart just in case and i saw this on abby's channel abby from rooted and rust and she used this um not necessarily for the same thing but she did use it you know to hang different things in their homeschool room so i'm super excited about this guys i love these little macrame hanging wall hangings and i'm so excited that i found something that can um be kind of a decoration but it can be practical as far as um being able to hang our vocabulary words like this so it's so good i'm so excited for that all right you guys so that's it that is my homeschool supply as of right now um of course there is always going to be stuff that um you know you add either before the beginning of the year or in the middle of the year um and so but i wanted to show you what we have so that way i can get busy organizing it and then show you kind of a homeschool organization room tour thing so if you like this video give me a thumbs up and don't forget to subscribe and hit
