Using Keys for Your Learning Centers

Hi, Everyone!

Isn't it nice to spice up your learning centers once in a while with something really novel and high interest? The little learners just can't wait to get their hands on them!

Did you know that you can get mismade keys for free at home improvement centers and hardware stores? Talk about a novelty item for your classroom!

It's easy to mark the keys with dimensional paint (AKA puff paint), nail polish, or permanent markers. If your key doesn't have a smooth surface, put on a little paper tag or sticker, and seal it with a layer of ModPodge  for durability.

Here are photos of a few simple-to-prepare ways to use keys in your centers.

Since the photos are not that great, I've put it all together into the google doc that you can download by clicking on the cover photo at the top. There's a list of ideas,  and also the mat that you see in the photos.

Please leave a comment with your ideas for using keys!
Happy Teaching!
