It’s a Beautiful Day for a New School Year

As I’ve mentioned, I love decorating for a new school year. One of my favorite “welcoming” displays was one I have used twice. It involves making a cute outdoor scene with blue poster paper as the background and green paper as the grass. And, then if you’re like me and have a slight case of OCD, some kind of border so it looks all neat.

You can then make several oversized sunflowers with large yellow leaves for the display. Eventually each child’s name will be written on one of the flower petals. Then, either on the display or close to it, post “Meet Our Sun-Sational Class!” or “We are going to have a Sun-Sational time in Kindergarten!”


I used to post this with die-cut letters from the Ellison machine, but then I saw my friend glue the die-cut letters onto colored squares and then laminate the squares. She then would hot glue the letters where she needed them (such as on the hallway wall) and then they would just peel off when she changed the display and she could save them – it was great! As a plus, I just really liked the way they looked as well. It is a sun-sational idea!
