Youth Outreach
PaintCare believes that paint stewardship is for all ages. The following resources are for educators (teachers, camp counselors, scout leaders, extracurricular groups) and family members to use as tools for learning about paint stewardship.

Supplemental Activity Resource Kit for 3rd Grade
PaintCare has developed a supplemental activity kit that is free for 3rd grade teachers. Julia’s Painting Adventure is designed to educate students on paint stewardship and strengthen math skills through real-life math problems. Students will follow along as Julia paints items around her home, school, and neighborhood. While developing math skills, students will also gain knowledge how to use those skills with their families to plan and purchase paint carefully to reduce waste.
The kit includes a Teacher’s Guide, a story presentation (available in PowerPoint, PDF, and Google Slides formats), and several activity worksheets.
There is no cost to download and use PaintCare’s resource kit. Simply fill out the form and the link to download the materials will be sent to you by email.
