Approach

  • Create your colored dots design template (or have the children create their own designs). We created a spiral.
  • Put your card stock through the laminator for safe and long keeping.
  • Get out your color matching material
  • Present the project to the children
  • Create additional templates and file away for later use

Sponsor Note:

Spielgaben is a material for classrooms and home that keeps on giving. The materials are well made and span an age range and subject area well worth the cost.
