not put it on my list either, but I sprung for them at Walmart.
They were only $.94 and so worth it....but I did not spend much at all
except for these this summer.

Alternatives? You could get the poly binders (flexible ones). Sometimes they cost less. If you use folders with prongs, it might be tough for the kids to write on them.

BUT

You could put the boards into a folder that has pockets IF they fit in the pockets...

Maybe I'm not thinking out of the box right now and someone else has used something else or has a better idea...will post again if I think of something.
