our selection of Creative classroom decorations.
Your ideas for creative classroom decorations come with the level of artistic ability of your students if you are going to get them involved.
Of course, you can always begin by putting up a few decorations of your own before the school year begins. For instance: putting a “frame” around the blackboard (or whiteboard) in the shapes of large pencils, an American flag is a good decoration, but the focus here is creative classroom decorations—and I believe that the students should take part in that.
- Creative classroom decorations: Around the room wall decorations:
1) Creative classroom decoration: Hands and Feet:
- You will need:
- Long piece(s) of butcher paper
- Drop cloths or newspapers
- Different colors of paints (if you want to use only primary colors, older students might find it fun to mix their own colors—like red and blue to make purple etc.)
- Large paintbrushes
- Water
- Washcloths
- Paper towels or regular towels
- Paint pens or markers
- Staple gun
- Tacks or sticky tacks
Steps to making this creative classroom decoration:
- First you will want to spread out the butcher paper in as long a line as you can over the drop cloth(s) or newspaper.
- Have the children paint their hands and place them on the butcher paper to make handprints.
- Then have the students wash off their hands with the water and paper towels or regular towels.
- Next, have the children paint their feet and make footprints underneath their hand prints. –Be sure to warn the children to be careful around the wet paint so that it does not smear or make a mess.
- Have the children write their names and the date underneath their hand and footprints.
- Staple or tack the butcher paper around the classroom high on the walls.
2) Creative classroom decorations: Drawings/coloring
Simply have the students draw and/or color a picture that correlates with the lesson at hand. If it is the beginning of the year have them do some back to school types of creative classroom decorations. Then you can decorate the walls of your classroom with creative classroom decorations/art that the kids helped to do.
-
For example: at Christmastime, if you choose to have a Christmas tree in your classroom, let the students make ornaments or garland and help decorate the tree.
- Another example: if your students are learning about colonial America, have them draw or color the mayflower or pictures of the settlers arriving to the “new world” for lesson related creative classroom decorations.
