I read the instructions before I plugged my laminator in and was shocked at how easy it was to laminate my projects. We laminated picture cards for Grandparents Day which will preserve them for years to come, and I also made preschool tracing sheets to use with a dry erase marker. We will be collecting leaves this fall and laminating those too for a fun nature activity! 
I have so many ways to use this for home and school projects. The laminator pouch packs are well worth the cost and will save us on school paper since we can reuse the sheets. And they are super helpful in preserving artwork and pictures that otherwise would have to survive through years of spills, stains, and fingerprints! I highly recommend this for any teacher or parents!
