I hope that you were able to join me for the Visuals for Success Webinar that was hosted by TPT in Boston (with a live audience, too!) this week- and if you were, I was able to sift through many of the questions asked afterwards and hope to answer them here!

Where do you get the materials to make visuals?
Here is a list of ((includes some affiliate)) links to materials I LOVE and USE every day to make visuals in my classroom:
Feiner Supply Velcro: You have to buy in bulk, and hook and loop comes separate- but it is SO WORTH IT.
Lamination: I swear by the amazon brand. Cheaper than Scotch, more expensive than a couple others, but those will peel SO QUICK. This stuff lasts FOREVER.
Paint Sticks: FREE at Home Depot or Lowes- just tell them you are a teacher and they’ll give you a bigger stack!
Clear dry erase pockets: Great for when you don’t have time to laminate, but want to reuse.
Binder Rings: You can use these to store things on the wall + create visual rings.
Lanyards: You can use these to store visuals for mobile token boards.
Dry Erase Markers: These ones are easy to carry, add velcro and keep it around your neck on a lanyard.
Veltex: The fabric I use to store visuals. You can learn how to DIY a veltex board, here.
Task Boxes: Grab task boxes in bulk here.
Card stock: I prefer this brand.

Kara from Teaching Differently, has many great visuals in her TPT store as well! A bunch are FREE, including the portable token board found at the end of this post! I love how she uses binder rings so effectively in her classroom to store visuals! Make sure to check out her blog for tons of photos!
