Recycling a Panda Plate

The moment I saw the new paw plates at Panda Express I knew there were endless possibilities for using them in my classroom!  The people at Panda were very kind and gave me enough plates for a class set.  But you could just use a few for a small group or center activity.  Here are a few ideas:

CVC Word Building

Number Order

Art Lesson with Primary and Secondary colors
Put each primary color in the top three spaces and use the bottom for mixing up secondary colors.

The plates also come with lids which would make it easy to store the letters or numbers with the plates.  When school starts up again I will post pics of these plates in action!  Have a great day :)

  7. What a great idea!! I am pinning it right now so that I can remember to use it next year with my kids. Hopefully the Panda Express by me will be as generous with their plates. I'm so glad I found your blog through the giveaway. I'm looking forward to reading some more great ideas from you.
