Amazon

Promising review: "If you want a powered pencil sharpener that you don’t need to plug in this is the one for you. It works great and is compact. You can take it anywhere. As a bonus they also give you an extra set of blades. Great little pencil sharpener." —Bob M.

Promising review: "For kids and adults alike! We use these for home schooling and when someone gets sick and they lose their voice! Also they are great entertainment for your little ones in the car! They wipe off easily, and are sturdy enough to take a "beating" from your toddler! Well worth the money! Highly recommend them to parents, teachers, Home Schooling Families and artists! Another amazing purchase from Arteza " —Sunshine_Poetry4

Promising review: "These are incredibly transportable, easy to clean, and colorful. As a teacher, I can see using these in a variety of situations with students. These might even be fantastic for a movement or yoga studio for those who have difficulty sitting on a hard surface. I can also see these being used for tailgating or to use while sitting on bleachers. For now, these will likely find their home in my kid's playroom. Love their versatility!" —Dr. in Chicago

Price: $47.20 (originally $59; the 20% deal applies to the square versions only during checkout)

It’s something you can use as an adult too and it's so fun to do with kids. The cups are of good quality. Everything is made very well so it will last. Would be great for small kids at school or Sunday School due to no mess and easy cleanup. I would highly recommend this product." —diana c.

Promising review: "This is a great value. Paper, binding, etc. all are solid. No disappointments; it isn’t cheap or low quality.

Price: $6.59 (originally $11.99; available in four colors)

Promising review: "I’m constantly hitting down notes while in meetings and in calls. I was a notepad junky and felt bad for using so much paper. This little notebook is awesome.

Price: $25.90 (originally $37.00)

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: "As a math teacher, I rely on my markers to help me teach the daily lesson. It is so amazing to be able to count on these markers for the math work that I have to do on a daily basis. They are full of ink, very bright, and give me the opportunity to color code the material on the whiteboard. These are even better than expo markers that I have bought in the past which weren't as bright. I definitely recommend these for the classroom." —Rosemary Sandoval

Price: $17 (originally $26.99)

12. A set of two large Post-it sticky easel pads for 46% off plus an additional 20% off at checkout so they can stick important reminders or lessons anywhere they want.

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: "I purchased these giant easel Post-its for my wife to use in her classroom for school projects or for working in groups. She loves to have the kids get into groups and brainstorm all of their great ideas and then be able to move all of them up to the front of the room for everyone to be able to share their ideas with each other. These are the perfect tool for holding onto large amounts of information that you want to be able to post up later in a lesson. Anything that can be done with a normal size post it can be done on these but in large size. The kids love using these." —Joaquin J Elcano

Price: $41.58 (originally $77.49)

Amazon

Promising review: "I purchased these for my students to use at home during the coronavirus outbreak.

This bulk pack made it easy to get all of the boxes I needed at a fraction of the normal cost." —Caitlin

Price: $27.99 (originally $44.99)

It comes in a set of 10!

Price: $19.96 (originally $24.95)

Amazon

Promising review: "We are EXTREMELY surprised at the quality of these notebooks. They fold in the center, lay completely flat, and allow for very easy writing.

Price: $39.99 (originally $49.99)

17. A 24-pocket expanding file folder for 51% off to help them stay organized — especially when grading time rolls around.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Great expanding file case. Made of plastic and very expandable. Sturdy and able to stand up to a lot of use. Also, because of the plastic construction, it's able to stand on its own outside of a desk drawer or a file cabinet. Tabs are sturdy, too, and the colorful dividers make it easy to differentiate between pockets. All in all, a well-built, sturdy, and useful expanding folder. Recommended!" —John F.D. Taff

Price: $12.79 (originally $25.99)
