Bulletin Board Craft Projects

I am looking for some good craft project ideas for my students to decorate their bulletin boards.

I think one of my favorites for the bulletin boards that one of my kid's teachers used to do it to take a letter size piece of construction paper and affix a snapshot of each child to a single page. The child then had about "ten things about me" such as favorite buddy, favorite food, favorite subject etc. that were listed on preprinted lines on that sheet. At the end of the year the child got to take home their page.

I've made fabric bulletin boards for each of my kids' rooms. It was really easy. I took fabric that coordinated with their rooms, bought some batting, some pretty ribbon and those furniture tacks. I staple gunned the batting to the bulletin board, did the same with the fabric, then cris crossed the ribbon on the front of the bulletin board and and put the furniture tacks in each intersecting ribbon. It's a nice way to coordinate a bulletin board with their room.

I always cover my bulletin boards in fabric to coordinate with what we are studying. Then I display artwork and their writings. The fabric is so much cuter than the paper. I get many comments on my bulletin boards. I did a really cute one with a sky background and at the bottom I used single stem flowers and lined the up along the bottom. I made a huge tree that I painted on poster boards. Then my students wrote about preserving the Earth, the board was for Earth Day.

A cute idea is to make a huge rainbow out of the kids hands. Have the students each trace one hand in each of these colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. Then cut them out and put them together in the shape of a rainbow on the bulletin board. Another hand idea is to have them trace their hand on green, yellow, orange, and brown construction paper and you can make a tree in the classroom out of the big rolls of colored paper. Then put the kids hands on the limbs to look like leaves.

I like the 10 things about me idea. Its so important to get them to think about who they are and what they like. My little one is always trying to copy me and its a nice idea to make them think about what makes them unique.
