Glashow's students, provide each child with a square or rectangular piece of construction paper or card stock as well as squeeze bottles of paint. Invite students to fold their \"present\" in half, creasing it, then decorate only one side using the bottles of paint. Encourage them to make various designs with the paint (i.e. large and small dots, squiggle lines, swirls, zig zags, etc.). For best results, have students use one color at a time. When finished with the color, demonstrate how to re-fold the paper along the crease, press firmly, and unfold to reveal the \"mirrored\" design. Invite students to repeat this process with each different color.

Add pointed elf shoes, hands (optional), hair, elf ears, a face, and an elf hat and you're set!

Cover the entire board with light green background paper, then divide your board (across its entire length) into 18 sections of equal size, marking the spaces with small hash marks. Next, you'll need a section of darker green bulletin board paper (enough to cover half of your bulletin board). On this length of paper, measure out nine equal sections. [NOTE: Each of these nine sections should be the same size as a marked section on the bulletin board.] Use scissors to separate each strip of paper, then attach them to the board to create the striped appearance of a football field. Use a white paint pen to add the detailing - the yard lines, numbers, and hash marks.

If you have plans to create teams, make sure you make the helmets two different colors. Use a black permanent marker to script each student's name onto a football-themed cutout. 2) The Scoreboard. Cut two large rectangles from black bulletin board paper. To make it seem like an authentic scoreboard, use yellow circle stickers to form the words \"Team 1\" and \"Team 2\" (or each team's name if they've been allowed to name themselves!). Since the scores will change throughout the unit\/month\/term, create removable score tiles.

We're assuming that Megan used a personal cutting machine to create the cute cutout. If you don't -have access to such a machine, here's how we would go about creating it. Cut a large teardrop shape from brown background paper to create the body. For the legs, cut four long strips of brown paper, attaching them to the body cutout and adding hooves - four trapezoids, with a small 'accent' triangle cut out of the bottom, cut from black construction paper. As for the head, we would suggest freehanding the shape onto brown bulletin board paper or finding a clip art image online to enlarge, trace onto paper, cut and assemble. {You can find a similar look with this cutesy reindeer sale poster template we found over at \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.stocklayouts.com\/Templates\/Sale-Poster\/Reindeer-Snowflakes-Sale-Poster-Template-Design-XX1121301.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eStock Layouts\u003c\/a\u003e.} Use black construction paper to create the antlers, black and white construction paper for the eye detailing, and red construction paper to create the reindeer's nose. To finish off the reindeer accent, add construction paper accents - a tail, patches of white 'fur' for the tail and neck, a red and yellow bell collar, etc. 2) The Christmas Accents.

Cut two long strips of brown bulletin board paper. We suggest measuring your door frame to figure out the length you'll need. {They'll need to be about a foot taller than the door frame, so measure the frame from floor to top and add a about 12-inches to your measurement.}  Attach the strips side by side (vertically), about a foot above the door frame, and allow them to drape all the way to the floor. Cut an arched hole in the center to expose the door and add visual interest by using your scissors to shape the outside edges of the paper as well. {Beth added a bit of a curve to the gingerbread house cutout.} Cut a long strip of pink bulletin board paper, using scissors to cut the strip of paper into a trapezoid and scallop the bottom edge. Attach the shape to the top of the gingerbread house to create the roof. Use craft paint or paper to add detailing as desired. To create the windows, cut arched window shapes from black bulletin board paper, tracing the same shape onto natural butcher paper in order to draw and cut window grids, and mirroring the roof by adding a similar pink trapezoid with scalloped bottom edge to create a decorative 'awning'. The last step in creating the gingerbread house is to cover the door with natural butcher paper and create the candy cane archway from white bulletin board paper. After the fact, there doesn't seem to be a super easy way to create the candy cane archway. We do recommend, however, when cutting the arched doorway from the brown paper, that you draw it on first and cut it out in one piece. That way, when it comes to creating the candy cane archway, you have a guide to work off of. You can trace the shape onto white bulletin board paper then use your judgement to create candy canes that will fit the size and shape of the door. Once drawn and cut, all you'll need to do is add stripes with red marker or craft paint!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThe Gingerbread People\u003c\/em\u003e. Freehand or find gingerbread shapes online to enlarge and trace onto brown bulletin board paper using your classroom projector system. Decorate the cutouts with construction paper accents - holly berries and leaves for bow ties, simple green and red circles for buttons, etc. Create two gingerbread cutouts and attach on either side of the gingerbread house door display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThe Candy Accents\u003c\/em\u003e. Aren't the candies just adorable?! Cut small, medium, and large size circles from construction paper in assorted colors. {You'll need two circles of the same size for each candy so plan accordingly.} To create the candies, cut a design out of one of the circles - i.e. a starburst, a swirl, etc. - and mount it on top of the second circle. Finish the cutouts off with striped construction paper candy sticks and add the candies to the display! {We love how Beth created small candy cutouts and added them to the door along with the names of her students!}\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThe Assorted Wintry Accents\u003c\/em\u003e.

Create your own snowflake accents using paper and glitter, craft sticks and sparkle beads, or another method of your choice. [NOTE: You could also simply purchase snowflake accents.] Arrange the snowflakes in the sky. As for the snowy evergreen trees, you can create your own by cutting tree shapes from green construction paper and using white paint to add snow or you might try looking for a clip art image that you can size, print, and cut out! 3) The Winter Characters. Create your own snowmen and penguins from construction paper (perhaps tracing clip art images found online if you don't feel comfortable freehanding the cutouts), print clip art images, or purchase accents from your local teacher store.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SupplyMe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1734196592665,"sku":"A4447","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1418\/0968\/products\/Sliding-Into-Winter-Bulletin-Board-Idea.jpg?v=1522782248"},{"product_id":"kindness-is-the-real-global-warming-winter-bulletin-board-a4458","title":"Kindness is the Real Global Warming! - Winter Bulletin Board","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/\/supplyme-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/post\/Its-Cool-To-Be-Kind-Winter-Bulletin-Board-Idea.jpg\" title=\"Character Building Winter Bulletin Board Idea\" alt=\"Character Building Winter Bulletin Board Idea\" data-pin-hover=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarbara Gruener - elementary counselor, character coach, and creator of \u003ca target=\"blank\" href=\"http:\/\/corneroncharacter.blogspot.com\/2013\/12\/no-child-left-unkind.html\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eThe Corner On Character\u003c\/a\u003e - sent us her lovely and inspirational winter bulletin board design that was created to remind students that each and every person has a responsibility to be kind and show respect to others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what Barbara had to say about the design...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"This kindness board will undoubtedly warm your heart!
