Decorate A Kindergarten Classroom

A kindergarten classroom can be a lot of fun to decorate because the possibilities are endless. You can put your creativity to work and decorate a classroom that your students will be talking about for days. With a few basic materials, you can create a masterpiece. Here are some suggestions on how you can decorate your kindergarten classroom to make it fun to look at, but even making it educational in the process.


Instructions


1. Cover the areas to be decorated with craft paper. This will give you a background to work on and it will make it easier to remove and change at a later time. You can attach it with tape or pins if it's on a bulletin board. You can find rolls of craft paper at your local teacher supply store.


2. Create a theme of your kindergarten room. You want to use bright colors and simple shapes, and incorporate education with fun in your wall. Sketch out a design or theme, such as a jungle with animals, on a sheet of paper so you can use it as a guide.


3. Trace out animals and other shapes onto construction paper. Use a variety of colors to liven up the room. You can get your children involved by putting their names on the shapes. Cut out animals, trees, grass and other landscape items out of construction paper.








4. Write the names of your children in your classroom on shapes or animals. Add other fun and educational things like letters of the alphabet and numbers. You can even make a good behavior or other chart and incorporate your jungle theme. This is sure to be something to get you classroom talking.








5. Lay out the shapes and attach them to the craft paper on the wall. You can attach them to the paper with glue or double-stick tape, depending if you want to move them at a later time or start from scratch. Use markers to add the final touches to your wall.
