Need a simple solution to store various game and puzzles for your classroom? Try laminating envelopes.
I featured laminated envelopes in my File Folder Storage Solutions blog post (picture above). However, I don't limit myself to small, white envelopes. Larger games and puzzles require more storage real estate, and that's when I turn to 9x6 manila envelops.
I can fit two small, white envelopes in one 3mil (8x11) laminating pouch. Only one 9x6 manila envelope fits in a single laminating pouch.
Place each style in a laminating pouch with the flaps open (see picture above). Once laminated, cut along the envelope edges, score the opening with an Xacto Knife
, and use sticky Velcro Sticky Back dots
to create a way for the envelope to close.
I store everything from file folder game pieces to story retelling cards in these envelopes! I have several with holes punched in them so I can kick up my organizing a notch or two and keep certain parts and pieces in binders. Ahhh, organization!
