I must say I am enjoying all the organization that comes with it. Also, it’s a great tool for homeschooling.
For the kids I have laminated printable learning games and flash cards, signs, and chore charts– which I cross off and wipe clean as needed.
There is almost no more wasted paper around here. My compulsive list-making is easily wiped cleaned and ready for the next week. I absolutely love it for meal plans and chores.
I plan on finding several more uses for laminating. Husband was recently heard saying, “Okay, now you’re just laminating to laminate.”
I have no defense for this statement, except the one he had made the day before, “Every self-respecting home school needs a laminator.”
And if I have one should I not use it to it’s fullest potential? I think I should, and I shall.
We have the Purple Cow Hot & Cold Laminator which we purchased at Costco Wholesale for $20.00. It came with 100 sleeves in three sizes.
Do you have a laminator? Do consider it.

I have this same laminator and LOVE it. It is a must have with 130 students. Everything must be reusable. I can’t believe I didn’t tell you about this lifesavers sooner. I imagine the damage done by you in a year :)
I didn’t know you could buy them that inexpensive. I’ll consider.
The second cheapest I’ve seen is $30.
