STACKABLE WOODEN CUBBY STORAGE
This unit helps keep all of your kids school supplies in one spot. Even though it is compact, there is lots of cubby space to use with this unit. You can even get the wall unit and expand the space even more. These two pieces of furniture would work well within a center that is also near to your Child’s Desk (it comes in a few different finishes too). This gives your kids a place to keep up on their studies without misplacing their work or supplies. It also keeps everything in one place!

MY FIRST DAILY CALENDAR
You can use this magnetic calendar for younger kiddos. There are sections for the days of the week, weather, activities, seasons, moods, and more. It is a great way to introduce your student to a calendar. I would recommend this calendar for kids ages preschool through 2nd grade.

FLASHCARDS
Depending on the age of your children, there are certain flash cards you should keep on hand at home. This will give your kids the practice they need to learn. For preschool and kingergarten aged kids, I like to use this set of Eric Carle Flashcards. There is so much included in this set of flashcards including reward stickers. Multiplication Flash Cards are also a great one to have on hand.
