A laminator — If you plan to reuse the word search across multiple kids or school years, laminating is the easiest way to do it. Run the printed sheet through once and it holds up to dry-erase markers without smearing. See our recommended laminator →
Laminating pouches — You’ll need pouches to go with it. Standard letter-size pouches fit this printable perfectly. Grab a pack here →
Dry-erase markers — Once laminated, kids can circle words with a dry-erase marker and you just wipe it clean for the next use. A thin-tip set works best for word searches. Our pick for dry-erase markers →
Cardstock — If you don’t want to laminate but still want a sturdier print, cardstock is a simple upgrade from regular printer paper. It holds up better during an Easter party or when small hands are involved. Get cardstock here →
Easter pencils — If you’re tucking this into an Easter basket, a pack of Easter-themed pencils makes a nice pairing. Low cost, no batteries, and kids actually use them. See Easter pencil sets →
