A FREEBIE To Start The New Year!

Here is an amazing FREEBIE that will save you time and frustration. 

These Crayon Box Templates 

will help students keep track of all of their crayons!

No more, "I don't have a red crayon!"

The FREEBIE also includes a template for the small box of Crayola 8-count crayons.

I have created 2 sizes.  

One fits inside the Crayola 8-count box of small crayons.

The other fits inside the Crayola 8-count box of large crayons.

Template for 8-count box of jumbo crayons.

Template fits in the box with the opening at the top or in  the box with a separate lid like this one.

Just print, cut them out, remove the crayons from their boxes, glue in the template, and replace the crayons in the order displayed on the template.

It's easy to put away your crayons and to be sure you have all of them!

When students are done working, 

they simply replace their crayons into their crayon boxes by matching the colors 

on the template inside their crayon box!

For the smallbox of 8-count crayons.

You won't be checking crayon boxes any longer to see if everyone has all of their crayons.  :)

I use crayon boxes in my students' tool kits for doing whole-group work on the rug.

I use popsicle molds for storing crayons at the table.

Students sort the crayons back into the popsicle molds when they are done working.

This is just another way to keep from going crazy and managing classroom supplies.

I also keep small, peeled, blue crayons in a small box so
students can easily add blue background to their illustrations.
The other box has a cube-shaped sponge in it.  I dampen the
sponge and add white glue to it.  Students just dab small
pieces of paper on top of the gluey sponge instead of using a
 glue stick or a glue bottle.  On Fridays, I add a few drops
of water and some more glue.  :)

I just saw these (on June 13) for $1 at the 99 Cent Store.
They were part of their 4th of July display.
Keep the tops (the part that you hold with your hand)
for your estimation jar and let the kids estimate how
many popsicle holders are in the jar.
