How to Make This Printable Reusable

Want to reuse these summer coloring sheets again and again? Try laminating them using a thermal laminator or self-laminating sheets, or placing each page inside a separate plastic page protector or dry erase pocket.

This will allow your child to color in the pictures using markers or paint, then wipe them clean for future use. (Make sure you use washable markers or washable kids’ paint—not acrylic paint—for an easy cleanup.)
