When it comes to binding your homeschool planner, the classic 3-ring binder offers flexibility and ease of use. Choosing the right binder size depends largely on your page count. For smaller planners up to 100 pages, a 1-inch binder works perfectly. If your planner is between 100 and 175 pages, consider a 1.5-inch binder, and for anything up to 250 pages, a 2-inch binder is ideal.
To help you budget and shop smart, here’s a breakdown of prices from popular stores. Dollar Tree offers the most affordable binders, but keep in mind their 3-hole punch options are limited and may not be the best quality for long-term use. Walmart and Amazon provide a wider selection of binders and accessories like dividers and pouches. You’ll also find quality 3-hole punches at Walmart and Amazon, making it easy to prep your pages for binding.
Investing in these materials can help you customize your homeschool planner just the way you like it — durable, organized, and ready to handle your school year!
