It’s Monday Made It! Woohoo! Today I am sharing two Monday Made Its!
First up, the block letters I purchased from the dollar bins at Micahel’s! As soon as I saw the letters that Kristen from Easy Teaching Tools painted, I knew that I needed to get some for my classroom! I quickly headed over to my local Michael’s and sat on the floor searching for all the letters that I needed. Only problem – I could only find red A’s and a pink R and D! Can you all say “SPRAY PAINT!?!”
Here are what my letters looked like before:
Introducing Seaside and Key Lime spray paint:
And here are what my letters looked like after:
I just love the bright colors! They will match my new color scheme perfectly!
Next up, spray painted, personalized caddies from Target! I just knew these caddies would be perfect for either my guided reading table or my reading easel. They were so useful that I just HAD to get one for my coworker and our new team teacher! I actually bought three pink caddies, even though there are only two in the picture.
Again, I had one small problem! The pink caddy was the perfect color for my classroom, but my two coworkers both have a different color scheme. One uses turquoise and black, while the other uses lime, turquoise and red. Soooo, I decided to spray paint them, and by I, I mean my wonderful husband, a.k.a. The Spray Painting King!
Remember the spray paint from my “READ” letters?!?! I used the same Seaside color to paint the caddies turquoise. First, I taped off all the white.
Then, my hubby got right to spray painting! It took about three coats, but they turned out BEAUTIFUL!
Now, of course I had to pull out my Silhouette Cameo and use one of my favorite Kevin and Amanda Fonts to customize each caddy! Here’s a close up of my pink caddy:
I LOVE it! I almost want to go back and buy another one for myself, but I bought out all three Targets in my area! They are 50% off right now and come in pink, navy and white, if your Target still has any!
The one is for our new teacher who I am mentoring! I am going to fill it with Sharpies, Flair Pens, Ink Joys, and a few other teacher goodies! Shhhh! Don’t tell!

Now, I am just deciding if I should add coordinating ribbon to the handle… What do you think? Ribbon or no ribbon?

As a dedicated Kindergarten teacher for nearly 20 years, I believe the words “fun, play, and creativity” can sit right alongside the words “developmentally appropriate, engaging, and rigorous.” Learning is meant to be fun and messy!
