  5. I love cute file folder, they are the best for making folder activities, games and so much more. I use them for making individual student task, small group activities.

  6. Colorful file folders are awesome to use as learning aides for toddlers and children. They start recognizing colors and begin to associate a specific color for the corresponding file. The children love to put their creative works into their very own file folder.
    Awesomeness 🙂
