As the first day of school quickly approaches, parents, students, and teachers are gearing up for another year of learning. While backpacks, notebooks, and pencils are often top of mind for the school supplies list, one supply that is essential to every classroom is colorful paper and cardstock. ASTROBRIGHTS® packs are essential tools in classrooms and learning environments, as educators use them to enhance student engagement and improve educational experiences.

Why Color Matters in the Classroom

By adding color to their classroom using ASTROBRIGHTS®, teachers can help their students, especially visual learners, understand and retain information faster. Using different hues to organize important information, color coding homework and report cards, and brightening their classroom decor are just three ways these educators create a vibrant learning environment. And because teachers often use different colors to differentiate between the subjects they teach, students can navigate their notes and lessons easily. 

Supporting Every Learning Style

Because every student learns differently, educators who use different colors of paper in their classroom can tailor their support for students to meet their learning needs.

• Auditory learners benefit from colorful visual aids made with cardstock to reinforce spoken instructions.
• Visual learners can follow instructions and retain information more easily with color-coded handouts and projects.
• Kinesthetic learners thrive when cardstock becomes a tactile tool in interactive activities.

By integrating color into lesson planning and activities, teachers create inclusive classrooms that support all learning styles.

Transforming Classrooms with Color

Adding color to any classroom does more than just brighten up assignments. It transforms the entire learning space. Vibrant hues combined with interactive activities create a magnet for students’ attention, instantly making learning more fun!

Teachers love using ASTROBRIGHTS® for:

• Learning stations
• Classroom projects
• Interactive bulletin boards
• Creative décor

This infusion of color creates an inspiring atmosphere where students feel welcomed and engaged throughout the school year.

The Psychology of Color in Learning

Specific colors carry unique psychological effects that can positively influence student focus, mood, and engagement.

• Lunar Blue™ & Terra Green™ – promote calmness and reduce anxiety
• Re-Entry Red™ & Cosmic Orange™ – increase alertness and engagement
• Solar Yellow™ – inspires creativity and enthusiasm for assignments
• Planetary Purple™ – creates a sense of calm and focus

By choosing colors with intention, teachers can design a learning environment that boosts both emotional well-being and academic performance.
