A few easy and inexpensive ways to create a classroom coloring book for your student.
1. Take one large piece of 18 X 12 inch construction paper and fold it in half to be 9 X 12 inch size. Place the coloring page papers inside, run three staples down the left hand side and then add the NEW cover I've included.
2. Take two separate pieces of 9 X 12 inch construction paper and use them as a front cover and a back cover. Place the coloring page papers inside and run three staples down the left hand side. Add the NEW cover and you are in business!
3. Same as step 2, only use two pieces of 9 X 12 inch Christmas scrapbook paper, if you have enough of a variety {left over from years of scrapbooking.... like me} put out a selection of papers and let your students pick the pages they would like. Perfect for some personal, relationship creating, small group time!
4. If you have a copy machine that staples, simply add the cover to the top of your copy stack, then have your machine make the book copies, including stapling them together.
5. For more of a "cover" feel, copy the front cover page and last page on colored paper, or colored card stock. Yellow looks terrific for this Coloring Book cover!
