My industrial inkjet printer recently bit the dust after a few years of faithful and hard service. I have another laser printer I use for most of my business work now, but the inkjet was my faithful companion for the hundreds of printable activities I've printed for the kids. I refilled my own cartridges and it saved soooooo much money.
I was getting ready to teach them about Noah's Ark and have a bunch of printable patterns to make the story on the flannel board... They LOVE flannelboard stories. But everyone I've talked to has said DON'T use the remanufactured toners and don't refill them myself so I've been buying them at my local Staples (though I do find them cheaper on ebay). Either way, toner is not compatible with tons of printing when you can't refill them yourself so I am going to wait to go printing crazy again until I have another inkjet printer whose cartridges I can refill on my own...
ANYWAY, I figured I'd use the many magazines I've been saving for our ABC scrapbook for most of this story. I can create the ark on my own, then cut out pictures of animals and glue them to flannel, and find other important peices from the magazines. In fact, I can probably create a variety of stories on my own by doing this with pictures from magazines!

I just started teaching 1-3 grade bible classes, being retired and small amount of income. I've been using printed material for my flannelboard stories. It comes as Noah's ark and many others at Wal-mart. The pieces you can't found I draw, color with markers and then cut out on interfacing. Good luck.
