There are lots of children's books available, but I like Little Golden Books the best for this particular method of teaching your toddler to read because 

1. They are easy to disassemble

2. They are relatively inexpensive (about $5 each)

3. There is a large selection to choose from

4. They are sold at a variety of retailers

I use Amazon Basics 1 inch 3 ring white binders because

1. The size is perfect for the completed book

2. The binders have view sleeves for a title on the spine and a front and back cover

3. They are reasonably priced

In earlier versions, I just used regular computer paper. However, I like cardstock now better because

1. The paper is more durable

2. The pages feel more sturdy and pleasing to turn

I tried glossy sheet protectors at first, but I settled on matte sheet protectors because

1. The non-glare helps a lot with reading at night before bed

2. They look nicer to me

3. The reinforced holes last longer

I use metal utility knives to undo the staples that hold the Little Golden Books together. 

1. Make 2 small incisions on each side of the spine where the staples are.

2. Use the blade to bend the 2 arms of the staple.

3. Turn the book over and use the blade to pry the staple out.

I love Anker Soundcore Mini Bluetooth speakers because

1. The battery lasts a very long time

2. If you get the right model, it has a microSD card slot to play music without needing anything else

3. It's simple enough that a toddler can operate it

4. The sound quality is great for the price and size

I have tried at least 3 different mp3 players from the top list on Amazon, but the Sandisk Clip Sport is definitely my favorite by far because

1. It has Bluetooth

2. The battery lasts a long time

3. The settings allow you to remove functions you don't need

4. A toddler can operate it, including connecting speakers to Bluetooth

5. It has a color screen, so I can add cover photos to my audiobooks

6. I can transfer music directly from my phone to the player with just one cable

7. You might be able to get it cheaper by getting the renewed version

I didn't use a case at first, but eventually I bought a Hermitshell Travel Case, and I really like it because

1. It's the perfect size to fit the Bluetooth speakers

2. The Sandisk mp3 player also fits inside

I like this TOPELEK rechargeable book light because

1. It has 3 modes for warm light, white light, and mixed/natural light

2. It has a long battery life

3. It charges with a microUSB cable

I like this LETION papercutter because

1. It works well for my purposes because I only need it to do only 3-6 pages at a time

2. It's very safe because the blade is shielded

3. A toddler can operate it safely (although it's better if an adult does this part and toddlers should ALWAYS be supervised around anything sharp)

I used to use gluesticks, but I quickly shifted to Scotch Magic Tape because

1. It's easier to fix if you make a mistake

2. It's faster and easier to make the books

3. A toddler can have fun holding the tape and putting it on the page
