Who it's for
- Families who love repeating favorite activities without reprinting them.
- Car trips and waiting rooms: laminated pages and a dry-erase marker travel well.
- Keepers of special pages: a finished drawing for the fridge or a bookmark that lasts.
Who should skip it
- Families who rarely print: a pack of reusable dry-erase sleeves does a similar job without heat.
Worth knowing before you buy
- For grown-ups only. The laminator and the pouch coming out are hot. Children watch; an adult feeds the pouch.
- Let it warm up fully, or the pouch comes out cloudy.
- Laminate a page before coloring if you want it reusable; after coloring if you want to keep it.
- Crayon-colored pages can smear in the heat; markers and pencils laminate more cleanly.
