Homeschool Supplies Checklist (Free Printable PDF)
Every supply from the first-year homeschool setup guide as a printable checkbox list, organized by station: print and prep, visual structure, storage, writing tools, learning tools, regulation, and the parent's desk. Print it and check things off as they arrive.
Download ResourceSetting up to homeschool means a shopping list that arrives in waves: the printer before the first week, the laminator once the visuals multiply, the wobble cushion after the third wiggly Tuesday. This two-page checklist keeps the whole first-year setup on paper so nothing falls through the cracks, organized by the same stations as the full homeschool supplies guide.
What's Inside
- The print and prep station: printer, laminator, both pouch weights, cardstock, dry-erase pockets
- Visual structure for the day: the schedule, velcro dots, and a visual timer
- Storage, writing tools, and the learning tools worth owning in year one
- Regulation and breaks, so the break plan is part of the setup rather than an afterthought
- The parent's desk: planner, binders, and the Friday record-keeping habit
- A short "what you do not need in year one" list, because the confidence to skip things is a supply too
How To Use It
Item names on the checklist are generic on purpose, so it stays useful whatever brands you choose. When you want the specific picks with verified prices and the reasoning behind each one, the supplies guide carries the full comparison, and the best laminator guide and homeschool printer guide go deeper on the two machines. For the sheets the print station will produce, the free worksheet maker generates tracing, cutting, and morning work pages, and the autism homeschool hub has state-by-state notes on the records your binder should keep.
