- Crayons: A staple in any crafting household. Crayola is always the top notch choice!
- Kid Friendly Safety Scissors: These are perfect for little kids learning how to use scissors. They cut paper but not fingers or hair!

- Lamination Machine: Laminating printables are a great way to make them last longer. If you are planning on laminating to make games reusable, be sure to get a bunch of dry erase markers as well.
- Dry Erase Pockets: Dry erase pockets are a great alternative to using a lamination machine when wanting to make printable games and activities reusable.
- Printer: A high quality printer is always recommended for the best results. If you are in need of a printer this Brother Wireless Printer is a great choice.
Having trouble unscrambling a word?
Try some of these strategies to help you solve it more effectively.
You can look for some common prefixes and suffixes.
A prefix is placed at the beginning of a word. Here are a few common prefix examples:
- pre
- pro
- un
- anti
- auto
- hyper
- micro
Once that you find a potential prefix or suffix, you can then eliminate those letters which should make it easier to focus on unscrambling the remaining letters.
Another tip would be to look for all the vowels (A,E,I,O,U and sometimes Y). Once you write down the vowels that you find, it will become easier to see the letters that you have left to work with
A suffix is placed at the end of a word. Here are a few common suffix examples:
- able
- ily
- ment
- ory
- age
- action
- end
Once that you find a potential prefix or suffix, you can then eliminate those letters which should make it easier to focus on unscrambling the remaining letters.
