If you're not too keen on drawing your own, you might consider finding or purchasing clip art that can be enlarged, printed or traced, and cut out. Otherwise, draw your own onto white poster board (sturdier than bulletin board paper) and use markers, paint, or oil pastels to color it in! [NOTE: That the superheros sport a 'B' on their chests coordinating with the name of the school and personalizing the board!] 3) The Character Words. Aren't these neat!? We love the starburst effect!
