I work in a daycare center and am taking care of the bulletin board and our theme is night and day. I am looking for ideas for the bulletin board using projects that the kids can make.
I went to a school supply store and things just cost to much there and they really didn't have the supplies I was thinking of.
Thank you
Try the Dollar Tree or the 99 cent stores they have all kinds of things you can use. If all else fails, go to Micheals.
Good luck
They could make sunshines or moons out of paper plates.
I like the suns and moons idea. I would also suggest clouds and stars and maybe rainbows.
They could fingerpaint paper plate suns yellow and put a picture of them in the middle of the circle awake. Then they could trace and cut out moons and add glitter to it as well as a picture of them sleeping at nap time. Good Luck!
Oh you can use a peice of construction and use pipe cleaners or sticky sticks to make the rainbows. To make clouds use cotton balls.
Y.,
You can have the kids color/cut/create animals (out of flannel or foam material) that are active in the in the night and animals that are active in the day. Or the kids could make animal masks for night or day animals.
A few ideas off the top of my head (sorry if I repeat, didn't have time to read answers): you could paper half the board in black, the other half in yellow. You could cut a star (or various sizes) out of tag board or buy one at Party City for cheap and have them trace and decorate. You can do stars on one side and suns on the other with the title: We shine brightly; Shining Brightly; etc... In the middle of each star or sun, you can put a picture of a kiddo. They can decorate the stars or sun with aluminum foil, wax paper/crayon technique, finger paints, cut paper mosaic (pre-cut various shades of the same color paper into squares for them), etc.. In between the big (child-made) stars, you can stick sparkly star stickers on the night side and rainbows (or clouds, whatever) on the day side. This way you won't have to take it down too quickly (ex.to give back work) if you don't want to. You can work on day/night projects in the class that can be hung on walls, put in portfolios or taken home with kids.
**I would purchase the letters for the title at least as that will give the board a unifying look.
HTH!!
what about teaching about nocurnal animals and then using color pages of owls, bats, skunks, racoons, etc to let them decorate with? Or, if you have access to a cricut, you could cut pieces of the animals that they could glue together.
