Decorating your classroom door gives outsiders a peek into what your classroom is like. A creative and well decorated door will make any passer-by want to stop and see what your class has been up to. By personalizing your classroom door, you will also help preschoolers remember which classroom is theirs–and give them a sense of pride. So add your personal style and create a magnificent door using the following ideas.

The templates for the following three activities can be printed out right here on Bright Hub Education by clicking on this link to Door Decoration Templates.

What a Great Bunch

Materials:

  • Picture of each student’s face
  • Circle template
  • Purple construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Green construction paper

This is a simple, easy craft that the students can help you with. First print out the circle on purple paper or have students trace it on purple construction paper, then cut out. Next glue each student’s picture onto the middle of the circle. Arrange the purple circles like a bunch of grapes, overlapping them. Add a green stem to the top of the bunch and write, “What a Great Bunch” at the top of the door. This activity would go perfectly with a food or healthy eating theme. Also, students would be using their fine motor skills when tracing and cutting the purple grapes.

Greatest Hits

Materials:

  • Printable CDs

  • Picture of each student’s face

  • Decorating supplies

To make this door decoration you will first have to print out CDs and have students decorate them as they like. Student’s can decorate the CDs according to the time of year. For a Pre-K Christmas art project, have them decorate the CD green and red. If it is spring time they can decorate it with flowers. Then, glue a picture of each student’s face onto the middle circle of the CD and write his or her name around the CD. Write, “(Teacher’s Name)’s Greatest Hits” at the top of the door.
