One question I get asked frequently is: How do you store all your lapbook supplies? For our family, I just managed to accomplish this.  First I purchase a little green caddy.  I then decided what supplies would be most useful in there. I chose to add:

• scissors
• pens and pencils
• glue sticks, bottle of glue and sticky dots
• glitter pens, as there wasn’t room in my supply organizer
• tape dispenser

Below are a few of the ideas I had submitted when I asked on Facebook what other do to store their lapbooking supplies.

Each pocket has things like glue, crayons, pencils, brads, glitter etc. And in the middle are our two bigger items - stapler and pencil sharpener. I also use a hard pencil case for stickers. And to store our in progress lapbooks I use a plastic 12x12 scrapbook envelope to hold the folders and any loose items (I bought these at the craft store for $1)."

I store the uncut minibooks in clear page protectors, sometimes we cut them out as we go, Normally I'll cut out a set at at time. To keep all the completed mini-books together I use a zippered "Pencil Pouch" that fits right in the binder. Then when we are ready to assemble, all are right there--nothing is ever lost!"
