Everything is Included!
When you do a Simple Visual Craft with your students, everything you need to create a great bulletin board is included. Plus, you get to work on fine motor and art skills with your students, then you get to display their work! To do the craft, everything you and your students need is outlined in the bundle:
For you students:
- Step-by-Step Visual Directions with Real Pictures
- Materials Checklist (Need/Have)
- Craft Sentence (Cut & Paste)
- Sequencing Worksheets
- “Let’s Review” Survey
For you:
- Teacher Directions
- Suggested Materials List
Making the Bulletin Board
With the Simple Visual Crafts, there are four crafts included each month. If you’re feeling crazy ambitious, then you could change your bulletin board every week! I typically just choose one to make our bulletin board, then the others get hung up on the walls in our classroom.
Materials You’ll Need
So let’s get into how to make this craft into the easiest bulletin board you’ve ever made. What you’ll need:
- Completed craft from each student
- Bulletin board or trifold poster board
- Bulletin board paper or other wrap material
- Border
- Phrase
My other hack for you if you don’t have a bulletin board is to use a trifold poster board. I got a black one so I could use that background if I wanted to. You can still wrap it in bulletin board paper and border around it, then you can reuse the board over and over! Velcro it to the wall, and you have yourself a bulletin board!
Put It All Together
Look at the finished product! Not only did you make a fun craft with your students, you also get a bulletin board out of it! Talk about the easiest hack ever! I’m all for multipurpose activities and NOT re-inventing the wheel. This is such a fun, easy way to showcase your students’ work!
