Bring Spring into the Classroom with Creative Bulletin Boards

Flowers and Butterflies

Butterfly Mosaic
Butterfly Mosaic
Kindergarteners enjoyed the snowman so much that a butterfly was created using the same process.
Spring Similes
Spring Similes
Students wrote similes on flowers, frogs, and other spring shapes for this spring bulletin board.
Flower Genetics
Flower Genetics
Fifth graders had to create flowers based on dominant and recessive genes of the 'parents' in the science lesson. This bulletin board was a great project. To prepare for the lesson, a hole punch was used to punch out small circles in specific colors. Students were given a small handful of these circles. Each color represented one trait of the flower - tall stem, short stem, light green, dark green, red flower, white flower, yellow center of the flower, orange center of the flower. Students were also given a chart with dominant and recessive traits. They had to analyze their colored circles to create flowers based on the "genes" they received. They then built flowers accordingly and glued them on construction paper.

These flowers were created by cutting strips of bulletin board paper.

Bring a touch of spring into your classroom with one of these bulletin boards. From mosaics and similes to genetics and paper crafting, these projects cover many subjects and offer excellent learning opportunities.

The Butterfly Mosaic project allowed kindergarteners to explore colors and patterns by gluing small pieces of paper onto different butterfly sections. This activity helped develop their fine motor skills and provided a fun way to learn about butterflies and their life cycles.

The Spring Similes bulletin board featured two pictures of rabbits. Students created flowers, frogs, leaves, and other shapes found in gardens to go around the rabbit pictures. They then wrote spring-themed similes on each shape, combining art and language arts.

The Flower Genetics project was an excellent way for fifth graders to learn about genetics and heredity. By using colored circles to represent different traits, students gained a hands-on understanding of dominant and recessive genes and how they determine the characteristics of organisms.

The Spring Flowers bulletin board showcased vibrant three-dimensional flowers created by cutting strips of bulletin board paper. Students experimented with shapes, colors, and textures to make this beautiful display.

Adding these projects into your classroom encourages students to express their creativity while learning about various subjects.
