20 Dollar Tree Finds for Teachers in 2024

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE a good deal. 

Especially when the good deal means adding something cute and functional to my classroom for a STEAL of a price. 🤩

So, I recently headed to Dollar Tree to see what classroom decor gems I could find for a fraction of the price it would cost me elsewhere. 

Here are some of the best Dollar Tree finds for teachers.

Organization Finds 🗃️

The Dollar Tree is a GREAT place to look for bins of all shapes and sizes. 

Here are some great items I found that are perfect for classrooms! 

These adorable pink and blue bins are amazing for organizing materials you have lying around your classroom. 

Plus, they would match either the Happy Hues decor or Tropical Vibes decor perfectly! 

A black caddy like this is super helpful for keeping table group supplies organized and in one spot! 

Fill it with sticky notes, pencils, erasers, or whatever else your students use on a regular basis at their tables. 

Plain white bins are another great option for keeping your materials organized in your classroom. 

I love adding some colorful labels to bins that are more plain looking to spice them up (and remind myself what goes where)! 

These white bins above have been transformed with some Happy Hues labels! 

Finally, you can never go wrong with some classic, clear bins. Use these to organize your manipulatives, craft supplies, games, or anything else! 

Having bins that close with lids is super helpful for materials you might not be using constantly.

Classroom Supplies Finds 🎒

Although you might not be finding name-brand things here, if you are in a pinch or need something quick, these are great options. 

A two-pack of scissors for just over a dollar is a pretty great find! (And helpful when everyone has lost theirs halfway through the school year 🫠)

Grab a pack or two of these fun, skin-tone crayons to add to your classroom crayon supply! 

These little erasers are so great to have on hand! 

Again, when you are looking to refresh your school supplies mid-year, the Dollar Tree is a great place to look!  

Classroom Decor Finds ✨

Surprisingly enough, you can find some Dollar Tree finds for teachers that are PERFECT for classroom decor. 

This vinyl faux backsplash could be added to your classroom behind your sink or another area that needs a splash of texture. 

(Look in the kitchen section for this!) 

Similarly, use this vinyl wallpaper to create an accent wall in your classroom or be the background of a bulletin board. 

This item has a sticky side on one end, so you could just peel it off right onto the wall. Otherwise, you can use painter’s tape to attach it to the wall with a string of hot glue on the top edge. 

Mini clothespins are so cute to add to your classroom decor! Use them to hang banners OR hot glue them to a wall to display student work. 

These mini chalkboards are adorable and would make great labels for any bins in your classroom (or really anything else). 

I LOVE that there are two different styles so you can pick the one that feels more you! 

(You’ll find all of these items in the craft section.) 

Don’t forget about picture frames at the dollar store! Frames are a great way to make posters or signs feel more complete in your classroom, but they can get pricey quickly. 

Snagging them from the Dollar Tree is a great option. 

You can’t do much with your classroom decor without hanging it up. 

This is a great Dollar Tree find – dot stickers! I love using these to easily swap out my calendar display or classroom jobs.  

You can never go wrong with some command hooks. Snag these to confidently put things up on your classroom walls. 

Last but not least, double-sided tape. 

This is an item that you don’t realize you need until you need it that second 😂. Grabbing a few from the Dollar Tree is a great way to make sure you have this classroom supply on hand when you’re in a bind. 

Extra Fun Finds 🥳

Sometimes you never know what will be a Dollar Tree find for teachers. 

Here are some other items that would be perfect in a classroom! 

Flashcards are great to have on hand to help your students practice different skills. 

The Dollar Tree has some great basic flashcards for letters, shapes, and even basic math skills! 

Another Dollar Tree find is card games! 

Add to your classroom game supply with these Crazy 8s pack or Apples to Apples Jr. 

Finally, how cute is this? 

If you are looking for a way to help students share their first day of school journey, this is it! 

Overall, I was impressed with these Dollar Tree Finds for teachers. 

There were lots of options here that would work great in any classroom, regardless of your decor theme.
