Well, I can't get enough of my Laminator, it's hands down, one of the best additions to our home school this year (thanks M & D)! We had some Geography Fun with one of our favorite books, Geography from A to Z on Wednesday and created some great Nomenclature cards!! (Once again, thanks to Kim F) The older kids did their own cards and I laminated some for Seamus Montessori style! We can't wait to go through the whole book, it'll be quite a nice collection of Geography facts for our school!
The first picture at the top are the tinier replicas of these 8 1/2 x 11 inch cards that I made for Seamus and he can use the smaller ones to match and check himself when reviewing the cards!
After doing their definitions and drawings I gave everyone some modeling clay and we all made Archipelago's and Atolls with our clay!! Quite satisfying indeed, especially for mom, we'll have to bring that clay our more often, it's quite therapeutic!! A very fun and easy way to look at Geography!! Thanks for stopping by!! Blessings!
Ooh, more inspiration!! We are using that same book and I just received a laminator for Christmas! It is still in the box, lol! I must dig it out ... :)

I am telling you, my life is different since getting a laminator LOL!
It certainly makes things much easier. Glad you are enjoying it. Do you know that I am currently reading Last Child in the Woods also? We should compare thoughts...

PS. I just wanted to thank you for not making your commenters use that alphabet robot box. It is such a nice thing to just hit "Post" and not have to go through all that. :)

Love this idea! I'd love to know what kind of laminator you have? I'd like to get one and am not sure what brand/type is the best for our needs????

I just got a laminator for Christmas as well and am loving it! I am using it to make biology taxonomy 3 part cards, but you've got a great idea here with geography!
