Paint swatches are amazing! And they're free!!! There are so many great ways you can use paint swatches in your classroom!
Easy way for making groups:
Depending on the sizes of groups you want, have three or four of the same color swatches in the mix, and have student's choose a color. Student's with the same colors make up a group!
K-W-L Chart:
It's easy to make a K-W-L charts, but the with the cost of paper going up, and the restrictions in schools on printing getting tighter, finding little ways to cut corners and find a better way to do things is essential! Paint swatches with three sections are great for K-W-L charts! Even swatches with four sections can work for K-W-L charts, on the bottom section, add a "still want to find out?" section for students to use if they still have questions after the lesson so you know what to cover next time!
Bookmarks:
Paint swatches also make great bookmarks! I've been using random paint swatches as bookmakrs for years, but I never thought of adding a bit of ribbon to the top and adding some cute hole punches to spice them up a bit! These make a great gift for your students for Valentines Day, Christmas, Halloween, almost any holiday!
