Our homework box
The kids always seem to find some excuse to put off doing their homework. They either can’t find a ruler, or scrap paper, or a calculator. Or they have left their pencil case at school.
So I decided to create a “homework box”.
I’m reusing a plastic tote that I had sitting in the cupboard (I used to use it for some of my scrapbooking stuff) and I’ve gathered all the supplies that we’ve got lying around the house. The essentials include:
- pens and pencils
- sharpener
- erasers and liquid paper
- stapler and staples
- hole punch
- glue and sticky tape
- scissors
- ruler
- dictionary and thesaurus
- notepads
- textas and highlighters
So now the kids have no excuse and I won’t be hearing, “Mum, I can’t find an eraser!”
