I finally finished some! I have been wanting to make these for a long time.
I have found several places online that offer free (and for sale) file folder games.
mormonchic; greenjellowithcarrots.com; confessionsofahomeschooler.com
I printed everything on cardstock then laminated them using my new laminator (YAE!) and cut them out. Since the file folders don't fit into the laminator and I didn't want to spend $3 per folder to get them laminated, I found a 12" wide roll (10 yards in length) of Peel & Stick Clear Laminate at Walmart for about $5. I used this to cover the inside and outside of each folder.
Ready To Go! Michele has already loved playing with them :)
***Side Note: Ink is expensive and file folder games use a lot of ink. We have a Brother printer which has 4 different color cartridges, to buy all 4 in a bundle pack costs $50-60. BUT I found this store on Ebay called Source of Ink where I purchased a 20 pack (5 of each cartridge color) for $23.85 with FREE shipping. I know it isn't Brother brand ink and it is an Ebay store so I was a little wary, but I have a friend who bought ink from them for his HP printer and he gave me a great recommendation, they are also a Top-rated Seller so I tried them out. I have been using their ink for about 2 months and find it high quality ink and works perfectly with my printer.
I am just telling you so if you don't demand name brand ink, this place is where to get great printer ink for a great price.
This is why I am able to print all of my file folder game papers and have no guilt about using up ink!
