Products I Love

What I’m using (and loving) from Amazon lately.

Back in September I shared what I’d been loving from Amazon.   Well, I have more to share today!

Things for the kiddos:


You guys, if you had told me a month ago that sequin stuffed animals (turtle and dino are just a few) would be a huge hit, I would have laughed.  But these babies are a game changer for fidgety kiddos.  It’s almost imposible for kids (and adults) not to flip the sequins immediately.  I have a student who really struggles sitting still, and this has literally changed his afternoons.  GAME CHANGER.

No matter how much Aaron’s Thinking Putty I buy, it is never enough.  This is the best.


For some reason, my doorstops kept dissapearing this Fall.  So, I bought one that no on else could claim as their own.  It’s a great conversation starter for adults and kids. Kids frequently ask if it’s real or not. And today, actually, one student snuck a lick. I wish I was kidding.

I bought a bunch of Kinetic Sand from the Target Dollar spot, but it just wasn’t as good as this.  Plus, I love the tools that it comes with.  The sand is another one of my kiddos favorite tools.

Things for me:

I got this for my desk and am really loving it.  I keep the top shelf for my “to do” items, the middle for “upcoming” and “to file”, and the bottom for my evaluation files.

Maybe I’m a bit of a school supplies nerd, but I love how these are working for me.  I use these green plastic envelopes to hand out rating scales to teachers.  I haven’t had any teachers lose them yet!

I really thought that 500 velcro dots would last me the year, but here I am in January, ordering more.  And-I ordered some different ones, trying to save a few $$ last month, but they were terrible.  I’m waiting for another set of these right now…maybe they will get me to April?

So that’s what I am loving from Amazon this season.  I’ve ordered much more, but have not loved everything, only what i’m sharing with you today.  So-what else should I order???
