I’m always on the hunt for tools that can help my kids stay on top of their schoolwork and help them be more organized. Between test dates, assignments, and extracurriculars, it’s a lot for them to juggle. And while I’m always here to help, it’s a skill they must develop. I like to call myself the family manager, so any gadget that promises less chaos in our life automatically grabs my attention.
While there is an endless supply of notebooks and planners that the kids can use, my kids love that there is an eco-friendlier option that comes with some fun perks. We’ve been using the Rocketbook Core Reusable Spiral Notebook and the Rocketbook Fusion Planner and both are household favorites. Let’s dive into why these reusable notebooks, planners, and a couple of their other clever products are so awesome.
What Are Rocketbook Reusable Notebooks?
Rocketbook Reusable Notebooks are essentially a cross between old-school paper notebooks, a white board, and futuristic tech. They’re designed for anyone who loves writing by hand but hates wasting paper or losing track of notes. The Rocketbook Core looks like a regular spiral notebook, but here’s the kicker: you write on its pages with a special Pilot FriXion pen, and the ink wipes clean with a damp cloth.
Rocketbook also has the Fusion, which is like the Core’s overachieving sibling. It combines reusable pages with built-in templates for calendars, to-do lists, and project management. Looking for something more compact? Check out Rocketbook Mini Notebooks and Rocketbook Stick Notes! They’re also reusable and perfect for quick reminders or color-coded organization. Together, they’re a quartet of planning perfection.
How It Works
Using Rocketbook is shockingly simple. You write on the pages with a Pilot FriXion pen, just like you would on regular paper. When you’re done, you can use the Rocketbook app to scan your notes and save them digitally to cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or even email. You’ll never lose a piece of homework or study guide again (well, unless your kid forgets to scan it…but we’re all a work in progress).
When it’s time to start fresh, simply wipe the pages with a damp cloth, and you’ve got a clean slate. The app also lets you tag and organize your scans, making it ridiculously easy to retrieve notes later. For the Rocketbook Fusion, the included templates mean your student can plan out their week, map out group projects, and still have space for random doodles. And those Rocketbook Sticky Notes? They’re just as magical — you can stick them anywhere, scan them to save important reminders, and then wipe them clean to reuse over and over.

The Pros
- Eco-Friendly: One Rocketbook Core can replace dozens of paper notebooks, which is great for the planet and for my wallet.
- Digital Organization: Scanning notes to the cloud means no more "I lost my math homework" excuses. Everything is saved and searchable.
- Reusable Magic: The wipe-clean feature means the notebooks last forever (or close to it).
- Great for Multitaskers: The Fusion’s templates make it easier to manage schedules and assignments, while the Sticky Notes keep reminders front and center.
- Fun for Tech-Lovers: The whole reusable/digital combo is just cool. Even my teens (who roll their eyes at most of my suggestions) think Rocketbook is awesome.

The Cons
- Pen Dependency: You have to use the Pilot FriXion pens, which are easy to find but could be annoying if you’re prone to losing pens (and who isn’t?).
- Not Tearproof: The pages aren’t indestructible, so kids need to treat them with a little care.
The Bottom Line
Rocketbook reusable notebooks and the Fusion planner are a solid options for students and parents. They’re perfect for reducing waste, organizing schoolwork, creating to-do lists, and making sure your kids don’t lose track of their notes. So, if you’re tired of buying endless paper notebooks and want to give your kids a smarter way to stay organized, Rocketbook is worth checking out.
