Go ahead and laminate

I’m a big fan of laminating. Why? Laminating gives these Folding Surprise activities a bit more permanence. Simply put your Folding Surprise paper in a self- sealing laminate pouch and you can fold and unfold your surprise paper again and again without worrying that you will tear it.

If you don’t have any self-sealing laminate pouches,  a simple and easy laminator would work. This is the laminator I use and recommend.
