Yes, I have laminated most of my flash cards. You would have to take them to an office or teacher supply store or buy a laminator and laminating pouches.

nhockaday, thanks for your reply.

I heard my friend said that the laminating cards will hurt the baby’s eye, does it true??

I have never heard of such a thing. If you are worried about the glare of the film, you can buy some that has a matte finish. But I have never seen a laminated card shiny enough to hurt anyone’s eyes.

Hi:

Yups. You are right. if you are laminating the flash card, please becareful of the sharp edges of the laminating because it will scratch the eye of the baby.

I got 1 experience which our office admin clerk accidently scratch her eye when she use the laminating card to fan herself.

Yes, there can be sharp edges if you cut the film, but you can buy pouches with rounded edges.
