Leaf fun with laminator

[jelly15]

Mindee am I out collecting Autumn leaves today and I laminated a few of them with a printed heading on an A4 sheet. Looks preety good if I say so myself:)

Mindee is only 23 months but loved the finished product.

Thought FussyElmo might like to try this with her new laminator:thumbsup:

We made some tree pictures last week - I drew a trunk & then mindee put some pva glue on the top & stuck loads of dried leaves on, then I put it through the laminator to keep it all together, they look really good!

My laminator did get a bit stuck but righted itself in the end:)

It looks good when it's been laminated :thumbsup:

We did a similar thing last week. We made bookmarks with the childrens names on and a few of the small leaves we collected earlier. Then we laminated them - they looked really good :thumbsup:

i think it was because we glued the leaves onto the trunk of the picture and it heated too much going through the laminator :laughing: oh well you liv and learn wont be doing that again , if only because the laminators broke :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

[manjay]

I too jammed my laminator a couple of weeks ago with leaves. Luckily no permanent damage done:thumbsup:

Sorry about your laminator Sparkles I started this thread and I feel responsible:o

I saw on another thread that you can laminate with an iorn and teacloth, maybe it is best to do it this way with thick items.

I get the children to draw around their arm and stretched out fingers to make a tree and so they have their very own arm tree.
