Laminators are versatile machines that can unlock learning opportunities for any classroom. What you can create with your laminator is only limited by your imagination. They protect your documents and photos, but that is just the beginning. So how do you get the most out of your school laminator? We created a list of ideas and projects to help you get inspired.
- Flashcards: Great for learning and repetition, flashcards are great to have on hand. It can be hard to find a pre-made set with all the information you need. Creating your own flashcards is cheaper than buying them and fully customizable. Print as many sets as you need for your class and then laminate them for learning for years to come.
- Reusable Worksheets: It can sometimes feel difficult to be eco-friendly as a teacher. Laminating your worksheets can be a great way to cut down on paper. The easy-to-clean surface is great for answering questions, tracing letters, and more with dry-erase markers. Simply wipe clean when you are done.
- Visual Aids (Maps, Posters, Diagrams): Make your visual aids last longer and unlock the ability to write on them by laminating your posters, maps, and more.
- Classroom Decoration: Decorate your classroom with laminated signs and custom bulletin board designs. Laminate cute characters, inspirational quotes, or quick reference posters that can withstand multiple school years and even the most curious of kiddos.
- Classroom Charts: Create custom trackers for good behavior, lunch orders, classroom chores, and more. For added customization use repositionable laminating adhesive to create removable stickers.
- Awards: Easily create high-quality certificates and awards with durability that parents will love. For a more official look, use your laminator to add a foil seal.
- Games & Activities: Creating custom games and activities can help reinforce topics and information. Create puzzles, board games, fill-in-the-blanks, or whatever else you can come up with. Lamination will make sure your creations last, even with prolonged play.
- Hall Passes: Create reusable passes and tokens like hall or bathroom passes.
- Durable Workbook Covers: Create your own workbooks with custom worksheets, reference sheets, and more. Finish off with a durable custom cover and bind with a style of your choice.
- Storage Labels: Create durable labels for cubbies, bins, desks, and more with mounting adhesive or sticky back pouches. This can help you organize your classroom as well as encourage reading practice.
