Hello There!
Welcome to Colour Your Class. I’m Shayna, an artist and graphic designer. Way back in Grade One, I already knew that I wanted to become a teacher. But God had different plans for me. I never had the opportunity to teach. Instead I’ve had contact with many teachers who had dreams for their classrooms and not enough time or resources to create it. So my love of art and my love of school met and I started creating for the teachers in my life. I loved it and so in 2019 I launched my first three products into the world.
Although I’ve only stood in front of a classroom as a substitute, I’ve lived and breathed the school world along with my friends. l love to get involved in your conversations to learn what you wish for and deal with. And then I can dream of solutions. I want to replace your stress with the resources you need to make your classroom a better place.

Printing Information
After you’ve downloaded the files, it’s time to take them to your favourite print shop! For best results, get them printed “actual size”. If you’re upscaling or downsizing, change everything by the same percentage.
The heavier the paper weight you choose, the better the product will hold up. But also the more expensive it will be. So for cheaper prints such as 8.5”x11” and 11”x17”, I would recommend a heavier stock. For more expensive prints, I’d recommend lighter paper and then consider laminating so it can’t rip or curl.
