      I have a light board. I laminate color sheets and the kids trace them. I find them on the internet. I find ones that go along with whatever theme we are doing. I also laminate the kids names when they are first learning to write. They trace them on the light board.

        I have been thinking of getting one too! Love this thread, would like to hear all the things people use it for! Can you use dry erase markers or crayons on it?

            Read this thread and immediately bought the Scotch brand one on Amazon. I had never priced laminators, and just assumed they were pricier than they are. I am a happy lady. I was spending $12.00 a pack for those self laminating sheets, and I'm sure this will do so much better - for just a little more. Thanks again ladies !

                  I've made some file folder games and laminated the pieces, let's see my menus that I rotate, my center signs, cubby tags that I make so I can reuse them if I want to, anything else I can make up an excuse for

                    :: This is so me. I laminate everything. If it's paper and something the children can reach or will touch I laminate it. Nothing makes me happier than when the red light turns green and I can begin earning the title of a crazy laminating Queen. :: :: Plenty of things make me happier but in that moment the green light takes the cake and I'm tired and I work with goofy children. Oh goodness I need to go to bed.

                      One day I wanted to laminate my tape measure. Don't do that. It melts. At least my laminator survived, barely.

                        placemats. We do them with the holidays and then the kids bring them home. Or book marks.

                            I LOVE my laminator. I don't buy name brand sheets though. I get them through a lamination company. I bought over 1k sheets for under $30. Had my laminator for 5 years and still haven't run out of sheets. I LOVE it.

                                I went to sams club and bought some and its 200 for 20 dollars which is really cheap, esp. for us canadians. But where can I get 1000, omg the possiblities would be endless.
