This not only adds a personalized touch but also instills a sense of pride and ownership among the students for their learning space.
6. Cozy Reading Nooks: Transform a corner of the classroom into a cozy reading nook adorned with winter-themed pillows, blankets, and decorations. Incorporate winter-themed books to create a snug spot for students to dive into the enchanting world of winter tales.
7. Themed Printable Classroom Decor: I’ve been in the classroom for over 10 years, and each winter me and my kiddos loved decorating our space.
I say “we” because I found a way to include them in the process, to show them that their tiny hands can do amazing things and that together we can turn our cozy little space into something amazing. Introducing…themed classroom decor kits.
I’ve got everything: penguins, llamas, gnomes, elves, gingerbread men, deer, winter animals, sweater weather, snow globes, retro Christmas… and so many more.
The bottom line about all my decor kits is…they’re complete, you won’t need to purchase anything else. They contain bunting banners, borders, posters, student name plates, lettering, photo crafts, etc. Plus…they’re editable, so you can change them, add or delete, until they fit your needs.
Since I know full well that December can be an overwhelming month for everyone, I thought of creating a free classroom decor kit:
Cosmic Christmas classroom decor kit is extremely funny and I’m sure your kiddos will love to discover Intergalactic Santa.
As the snowflakes twirl outside, let's sprinkle a little magic inside our classrooms! Winter isn't just about cold weather; it's an invitation to turn our learning spaces into cozy wonderlands.
