Please know that these are Amazon Affiliate links. This is how you can get these parts in bulk for the cheapest possible price. It cuts out the middle man (us). For some of these items (aluminium foil, markers, an individual set), a trip to your local dollar store would be the best/cheapest way to get supplies. For other items (paper clips, tea lights, binder clips), Amazon would be the best/cheapest option.
NOTE: Dollar store paper clips are often made from a silvery plastic and do not conduct electricity.
These tools are recommended. Most classrooms will have many of these, so there is no bundle link. A cardboard saw is a great and safer alternative to having kids cut cardboard.
