White cardstock (to print on)
Laminate (best price usually at teacher supply store)
Hole punches - I used small square for "window" and slot to create the space on either side of window
1. Cut off any pre-printed writing from the paint chip (in this case, I cut off the end that gave the color number)
SAVE the part you cut off.
2. Punch a hole for the letter strip to show through (first letter of the word)
3. Write a word ending on each card
4. Print out letter strips on the computer or do it by hand giving several letters for each word ending (making the strips up instead of just using random letters helps to prevent unacceptable words from being created).
5. After printing out the list of letters, cut a small piece of paint color from the section you cut off of the big piece and glue it to the top of the appropriate strip. (student matches paint color on strip to the paint card word ending and then will know what strip to use with what word ending)
6. Laminate both the cards and the letter strips.
7. Cut out the letter strips and the paint chip cards.
8. On the paint chip cards, you can now use a slot punch to make a space for the letter strip to be slipped through (from top, under the laminated punched out window, and back through the front - the letters show through the laminated window from the back of the card)
