Make Printables Last Longer

Printable activities are a great way to keep kids learning, but printing the same pages again and again can waste ink and paper. Luckily, teachers (and thrifty parents!) have found clever ways to reuse printables.


5 Easy Ways to Reuse Worksheets

  1. Use Sheet Protectors – Slide worksheets into clear protectors and use dry-erase markers.

  2. Laminate for Durability – Perfect for tracing or matching games.

  3. Wipe and Reuse – Erase dry-erase marks and start fresh.

  4. Print on Cardstock – Makes pages more durable for multiple uses.

  5. Use Clipboards or Binders – Keep reusable pages organized in one place.
