Although I wouldn't call any of these items required, they are handy and add fun to children's handwork, I use mine regularly.

1. Laminator - A must when making craft-stick puppets that last more than one class for toddlers and pre-schoolers. Check ebay or other auction site for good deals. Also, Walmart or a craft store might carry small laminators at a reasonable price. Michael's craft store often runs a 40% off coupon and carries laminators.
2. Sticker maker - Some laminator's have this option, but it increases the price dramatically. This is a wonderful and fun (and cleaner) option to glue, especially for younger children. I bought mine in a children's craft box set during the holidays when a crafts store ran them for 50%

1. Sticker paper - Watch clearance sales at office supply stores. I've found sticker paper for $1. a box - stock up.
2. Homemade Lick and Stick Glue
   • Lick and Stick Glue:
     1 tablespoon jello (any flavor)
     2 tablespoon boiling water
     Mix until dissolved. Paint precut shapes of paper. When dry, children can lick and stick. Tastes yummy too!
