Summer is the time to gear up for the new school ahead and DREAM of how beautiful your classroom will be in the fall. So when Astrobrights contacted me to help launch their #ColorizeYourClassroom campaign by inspiring my readers to include more color in their classroom and host a giveaway, I couldn't say no.
It's no secret that I have a bit of a love affair with bright colors. My entire classroom is designed around Melanie's Rainbow Chalkboard collection at Schoolgirl Style. Yes, it safe to say I love to surround myself in COLOR. In addition to my personal preference, there are several convincing arguments for the value of including lots of bright colors into the learning environment.
According to the Color Marketing Group, studies have shown that:
COLOR can make learning a more fun and impactful experience
COLOR accelerates learning by 55 to 78 percent
COLOR increases student comprehension by 73 percent
Now that you know a little about my color obsession, imagine my delight when I opened a giant box FILLED with all of these gorgeous paper and cardstock colors.
The sweet people at Astrobrights were even generous enough to supply me with a $50 Gift Card to Office Depot. I ran right out and stocked up on another one of my classroom essentials: Avery 5163 labels.
Fans always take note and ask about the beautiful alphabet word wall they see in the back of my classroom and I am frequently asked to share more detailed photos of the word wall.
At the beginning of the year, my word wall looks like this. Just a bunch of blank letters of the alphabet on an otherwise empty board.
As new sight words are introduced in class, they are added beside the appropriate beginning letter. The actual letters fill with collages throughout the year as well. You can read more about the alphabet aspect of my word wall by checking out this blog post.
Each of the words on the word wall is easy to create using two of my favorite classroom supplies: Astrobrights cardstock and Avery 5163 labels. I'll walk you through the process in the next few photos.
I printed my desired sight words for my word wall on the Avery 5163 labels, and I used my trusted paper cutter to cut cardstock into 3×5″ pieces.
These brightly colored cards grab a lot more attention that your standard white or pastel index cards.
From there, its as simple as “peel and stick” to create the words to display on my classroom word wall.
What I love most about the multicolored word backgrounds is that the colors are SOLID. Some critics of color argue that the use of bright colors in the classroom can lead to overstimulation and be distracting for children. I believe that colorizing with a PURPOSE has a tremendous value.
These sight word cards are a bold addition to my word wall, but the fact that they do not have a busy pattern around them helps hold student attention. I love that when a student is staring at 6 different words by the letter W, struggling to find “was”, I can instruct that student to look at the blue word. That instant recognition is the key to helping my students master their sight words without staring blankly at a wall of uniformly colored words.
After seeing how GORGEOUS these word cards turned out, I have also decided to create a duplicate set of words with the exact same colors to use as flashcards in the classroom.
Now my sight word flash cards will go from this:
To this:
Which do you think my students will prefer? Also, if a student always confuses the words “look” and “like” but I keep reminding the student that “like is the purple word,”which set of flashcards will be help that struggling student to master the word “like” more quickly?

Now you can print, peel, and stick to help your students master their sight words too! Each set of flashcard labels has been formatted to print on Avery 5163 labels.

I am drooling over that gorgeous stack of Astrobright paper! Seriously…drooling, like I should be concerned about the state of my keyboard. I love to incorporate my bright classroom colors of magenta, organge, lime, teal, and purple with pops of yellow anywhere I can in my classroom environment and learning! Color is on my walls, hanging from the ceiling, on my student desks, in my writing, and even in my students’ notebooks!
Have a blast in Vegas!

Green and blue are my favorite colors, so anything in those color families would be used in my class. I would probably add yellow as a complimentary color. This is so exciting! Thanks for. The opportunity!
All the bright colours are perfect!
I’m working on a circus theme for this coming year so for sure reds and turquoise, maybe yellow and lime green too. What a great giveaway!

I would use blue and turquoise!!! hsease99@hotmail.com
I love orange! Thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for all the great ideas! I would use lots of different colors to help with my rainbow color scheme I’m using this year! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Oh my gosh, love the simple word wall! I also love that you can use the colors to get the students to understand which word is which!
I would use them all!
I love your classroom design! Those little children are so cute! I would use the green and then a rainbow of colors!
I love Astrobrights! I love how you used them on the word wall. I could use all the colors since my decor is black and white.
I use cardstock for everything! I love the really saturated colors, especially greens and blues.
I would use the primary colors, especially blues and yellows. I would probably end up using a lot of different colors.
Red and Blue mostly, but I LOVE cardstock!!

I would love to use all of those colors to change up my word wall and update my wall of quotes!! So pretty! 🙂

I just finished my first year of teaching so my room is a little bit of what-was-left, what-deals-I’ve-found, and what-I-can-steal-from-home. I’ve embraced a rainbow color scheme so everything fits in (and I think all the bright colors are fun!) I love the idea of making a collage on your word wall! I’ll be borrowing that idea 😉 kristinbrehm@gmail.com
I would use blue and red cardstock.
I would use the blues and greens!
I LOVE all of these colors but use a lot of blue in the classroom because it calms me! I think that I am a better teacher when I am calm and I hope it calms the kiddos a little too! I use yellow and black to add a “pop” to the blue and it looks great.
Such a HARD question to answer!!!! I think I would go with the teal/aqua/bright blue color. I LOVE that color.
I love Astrobright paper & cardstock. I should probably buy stock in the company! I love to accent everything I place on my walls w/ color. I feel the bright colors make everyone happy.
I’m totally changing my color scheme this year to teal, yellow, and gray, so I would use those colors to update all of my labels and signs. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love Astrobright cardstock. I use a lot of primary colors but love using the bright colors in projects with my kids.
I LOVE color and would LOVE to win! 🙂 ks00404@gmail.com
My homeschool room would look so much brighter using ANY of those wonderful colors!
I would use ALL of them they are so beautiful and I teach kindergarten so I like my classroom to be full of color!
I LOVE color! I had ordered a pack of their cardstock with my school order this year and LOVE the bright colors! I’m not sure I could pick just one!
I would use them all. I am doing bright colors in my kindergarten room.
I’m switching rooms this year and would LOVE to start the year off BRIGHT 🙂
I love these wonderful colors you have used and they would be an excellent addition to my classroom. I know my students would love them.
I love them ALL! But I particularly like neon hues 🙂 thanks Maria for always being so generous and gracious sharing all you do!
I love them all! My class colors are red, green, and blue so I’d love to use those!

I would use all the BRIGHT colors in my classroom!!!
All 🙂 but I love the teal.
Love these!! My favorite is lime green!
Love lots of primary colors in my classroom!
Love the bright colors!! I am in the process of organizing our library by theme and would love to use Astrobright paper behind the bin labels.
I am a first year teaching starting this fall. These colors would definitely be a welcome addition in my new classroom! I especially love the turquoise!
I personally love the hot pink ams neon green. But have used all the colors of the paper to build flip word books. The words are divided in to when they are studied using a color foe each section. I haven’t used their card stock yet.
I have to pick a color??? No way!!! I love them all!!!
Oh my goodness! Talk about perfect timing! I am just revamping my word wall and planning to do color coded sight word flashcards!! How awesome would this be!
So excited about the giveaway I forgot to tell my color…I’m a rainbow freak so I’d have to use every color…in rainbow order of course!
I love ALL the AstroBright colors, but I would use the bright (hot) pink, and lime green!
WOW I love all of the bright colors! I would use the bright pink, aqua, bright green, and yellow. These are my new colors for this upcoming year! I wish I could get into my school and start decorating!!
I am a huge fan of Astrobright paper! They have been a great feature to my interactive notebooks and love how you have incorporated their paper into decorating your classroom! Colors that I would use this year are blues, reds, green, and yellow. Superheros theme this year!!
I love Astrobrights paper. I would use all bright colors, pink, yellow, blue, green, and orange.
Beautiful paper! I love lime green, pink, and sky blue!
Love all the pinks and blues.. I am using those colors in my classroom this year and they would be perfect!
Definitely Celestial Blue and about a dozen others!
I LOVE how simple Astrobrights cardstock colors look while still giving an extra bit of oomph to anything & everything in the classroom! Pre-kinders definitely thrive in a colorful & organized atmosphere.
Love the colors included in these packs! I typically use construction paper to back plain white papers in my room, but this cardstock will be even better!
I would use bright red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple! Love those bright colors and Office Depot too. I order from them at school all the time!
Blessings, Vicky
I get so excited about paper and these are gorgeous! I especially love the hot pink and lime green. Thanks Maria for sharing another wonderful product!

I am entering my first year of teaching, and your rainbow themed classroom inspired something similar in my first room. I would use ALL of these colors!!!
New Adventures in Elementary
Thank you for this Giveaway. I love all of the bright colors, but the pinks would be my favorites, especially the bright ones.
This would be amazing! Thank you!
I LOVE Astrobrights! I would use the green, blue, orange, purple, and yellow for my Kindergarten classroom! Such fun and bright colors! Love it!

This year my classroom is going to be jungle themed, and I used my Silhouette Cameo and Astrobrights paper to cut out brown monkeys, yellow bananas, and green leaves for a big word wall tree! Can’t wait to see it up on my wall! Love this stuff! 🙂
My class is the turquoise class so the color we like best is the turquoise color!
I love the purples, pinks, and blues.
I have used Astrobrights for years. Our school colors are purple and gold. I use Solar Yellow for our weekly study sheets, and Planetary Purple for my weekly parent newsletters. This helps parents know what to look for in folders. I also use many other colors of their paper and card stock. They are always on my back-to-school shopping list! kimworthey@yahoo.com
Honestly…. I use them all!!
I love them all! What a great way to make your word wall pop!
Thanks so much for the chance to win! You are right–the bold colors would definitely “pop” more than just plain index cards!
You word wall looks amazing!!!!!! I would definitely use these bright, bold colors!!!
I’m loving all of the blues and greens!! I’m redecorating my classroom this summer and adding a lot of bright colors!!
I love the word wall words! It would be so helpful to be able to say it’s one of the blue (or red, or green, etc.) words instead of pointing it out, and that would still give my students the responsibility of figuring out which one is their word with a more limited choice.
I would use blue and green in my class.
Oh my goodness! How awesome! My classroom is a mix of yellow, light green, pink, teal, and purple. I LOVE those bright colors!!
I hope I win…this is like my dream giveaway!
Thanks for hosting!

Quick question…where did you get your paper cutter?
I love all of the Astrobright colors! I have a habit of putting things in rainbow order in my classroom so I would use every color! I also LOVE your sight word cards! What a great idea!
I’m going through a purple/teal/lime/pink thing this year in my classroom. I love these flashcards.
I would use teal, purple and lime.

Thanks in advance!

That paper looks amazing! I would use lime green and sky blue in my room. I may redo my word wall cards to look like yours, they are so pretty!
Love the different colors!
Love all the bright colors! My furniture, floors, and walls are neutral, so I have plenty of room for bright bulletin boards, decorations, games, and flash cards!! =)
I love anything that is bright. Def going to use your labels…even if I have to buy my own paper –LOL

I just bought a new decor from PinkCat Studio on TpT (circus owls) and it has very vibrant primary colors with splashes of pink, teal and purple. if I won Astrobrights, I would definitely use Re-entry Red, Blast Off Blue, and Sunburst Yellow as my main colors. Then I would put pops of colors throughout my classroom with Gravity Grape and Plasma Pink. These are great colors, thank you for the giveaway!
I would use all of the colors! I am working on making the children silhouettes you have in your classroom, and would love to jazz them up with astrobrights paper! 🙂

I would love to use ANY of the bright colors. I loooove Astrobrights and want to duplicate your beautiful word wall this year!
The colors are all so pretty, I can only imagine using them all!!
Red and blue and green – I’m planning on using them to match the spine colors for Words Their Way books/levels! How fabulous!!
I cannot just choose one! I’m addicted to color in my classroom. I would use turquoise, bright purple, lime, and neon pink. All my favorites!
love your Word Wall! The colors and the whole display are beautiful!
I would use similar colors you use (right pink, yellow, blue, green, purple,etc) as those are what I currently use in my room. I plan to keep the same color plan for next year. Thank your for the opportunity to win.
My classroom colors are bright! Lime green, orange, pink, yellow, blue, & black. 🙂
stazeanne@msn.com
I love the color combinations in your room .
All of these are wonderful! I would love to use them to color-code my centers and book bins in my library! Oh and maybe to make library sticks for my students too! Oh my so many options!
This would soooooo make my summer! Redoing my classroom!
Love the bright colors!
Blue and green would be my go to colors but I would honestly use them all! 🙂

I would love to make that alphabet wall with those astrobrights colors!
Astrobrights makes the best paper! I buy their cardstock all the time. I will be teaching 1st grade next year and I am changing my word wall. I think I will use your idea for the labels and then stick them to the color of the week I am assigning each week/unit’s sight words. I will be using rainbow colors.
I would use a lots of blue since we are the Beach Buddies but all the colors would go with my classroom theme. Very Cool.
I’d definitely use yellow!
Thanks for the idea! Also, thanks for including a set for third grade since I will be MOVING TO THIRD! I’m so excited. I’m glad to see that your blog is doing so well. Hope you’re enjoying your summer!
–Sarah
You have inspired me so much!! I love Astrobrights paper and it works amazingly well with my Cricut. I just made a brand new alphabet using the paper and entered it in the contest. I’m doing a modified Rainbow Chalkboard from Schoolgirl Style with Wizard of Oz in my room this year. I drew on your room for lots of ideas! For example, I drew silhouettes of Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion on black paper and glued them on the cloud paper to hang above my windows. Can’t wait to see the finished product!! I’m new to blogging over this past year so I am loving your blog. Thanks and keep up the terrific work!!

Love the colors! Thank you too for the sight words. Mine have needed an update. I have some additional words to do and would like to use the same font. Could you publish what you used?
Thanks!
These are amazing and I was wanting to add some more words to the bunch but wanting to use the same font and size. I am curious to what the font and size is so my OCD will drive me crazy? Thank you in advance!:)
PLEASE!!! Could you share what font did you used? Thanks!
The link does not work for the “DOWNLOAD FREE SIGHT WORD LABELS.” Can you send them to me?
Hi Karen, I’m so sorry to hear that you are having trouble! I just tested all of the links and they seem to be working just fine. You may want to try using a different browser. If that doesn’t work, send me an email at kindercraze@gmail.com and I will email it to you. Thanks!
Hello, Maria! Thank you for the freebie! Would you mind leaving the name of the font and size you used so that I may customize my word wall?
Hi Whitney! I used the font KG Empire of Dirt, size 140. It’s free to download on TpT.
Thank you!!!
