Print and laminate your pages

You can print all the pages at home or you can email the file to your local copy. Make sure you print on cardstock so the pages are sturdier. And don’t forget to laminate each page. If you’re lucky enough to own a laminator machine, then you can do that at home as well!

Cut out the activity images

There are seven pages included in the PDF that have images that need to be cut out by hand. I tried to condense the images onto seven pages instead of ten so you wouldn’t have to print as many pages. Although it may seem daunting, I threw on a movie and cut all the images in about an hour or so.

Attach Velcro dots

Now for the fun part. Once you’ve cut out all the images. Place a Velcro dot on the applicable areas of the activity pages and on the back of the cut out images. I used about 100 hook and loop Velcro dots in total.

Finishing touches

So, if you want, you can punch a hole in the upper left-hand corner of each make and connect all the pages together with a loose binder ring. I added the binder ring and then I placed all of the pages in a large Ziploc bag so it could hold all the loose cut out images in one place. It works great. Here’s a video of the finished product:
