Back to School #25DaysofColor with Astrobrights

If you know anything about me, you know I *love* color.  Color can make learning a more fun and impactful experience.  Using color paper can add creativity to everything in the classroom.  Astrobrights kicked off their #25daysofcolor in early July and for 25 days, Astrobrights Papers will feature a
project using a different color of its paper, providing ideas and inspiration
on how to #ColorizeYourClassroom.

 

My HERO colors are beautiful! My chosen colored papers include:
Gravity Grape
Outrageous Orchid
Planetary Purple
For my main selected craft, I chose to use Planetary Purple!  To create this fun gift for students, I just used my hole punch to make a hole in the tag and attach the Slinky using ribbon!
 I found these mini-size Slinky toys in the Dollar Spot at Target.  What kid doesn’t love playing with a Slinky?  I created the tag for the beginning of the year to give to students at Meet the Teacher.
You can get your Back To School printable {HERE}
 Be sure to watch my Instagram and Facebook accounts for pictures of the craft ideas I am sharing for the other two colors of paper!  For more ideas on how to Colorize Your
Classroom, be sure to follow #25DaysofColor and Astrobrights
Papers social feeds on Facebook and Instagram.

 

Visit Astrobrights Tumblr {HERE} for more ideas on how to use color in your classroom.
The post your own project using Astrobrights Papers
with the hashtags #25DaysofColor and
#ColorizeYourClassroom for a chance to be featured as the Colorize Your
Classroom project of the week!  Tell me, how do you use color in your classroom?
