Provide your students with washable markers in fall colors (e.g. yellow, red, orange, green, and brown) and invite them to color the paper towel or coffee filter leaves. Encourage them to explore patterning and color mixing as they design each leaf. When finished, place the leaves on a newspaper covered surface, prepare a spray bottle with clean water, and spritz them with water. Your students will be excited to see that, as the water soaks into the leaves, the colors spread and mingle creating a tie dye effect! Let the leaves dry overnight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrace and cut leaves from watercolor paper. Provide your students with watercolor paint and kids paint brushes, inviting them to paint colorful fall leaves. Set aside overnight to dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn sheets of card stock, use a marker and the fall leave templates as a measuring tool to create several small boxes. Provide your students with old magazines and invite them to cut out swatches of fall colors (reds, yellows, oranges, greens, and browns). With a glue stick or a bottle of Elmer's school glue and a paint brush, instruct your students to collage these magazine pieces in the squares on their card stock. Set aside to dry. When the glue has set, have your students use the fall leaf templates to trace and cut out leaves from the collaged squares.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou may even consider having your students complete each of these crafts throughout the week and then using all of them to create the bulletin board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\"We Are Jumping Into Fall!\" Bulletin Board\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBackground:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orange bulletin board paper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"We Are Jumping Into Fall!\" or \"______________ (e.g. Mrs. Nelson's Class, Our Preschoolers, etc.) Are Jumping Into Fall!\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBorder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leave the border plain or consider adding a fall leaf trimmer, solid fall-colored border, or continuing the leaf\/acorn cutouts around the edge as a mock border.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecoration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1) The Squirrel.

If you don’t want to mess with a projector, you can also freehand it. Use markers, paint, or oil pastels to color the squirrel and add detailing. Place the squirrel in the center of the board. 2) The Leaves. Use your students fall leaf crafts. Make a large pile at the bottom of the bulletin board and place several others around the board to create an illusion of leaves eddying down from the trees. 3) The Other Details. Think about adding acorn and pine cone cut outs to complete the fall scene. You could create templates from card stock, tracing them onto brown construction paper or card stock, or you might be able to find a black and white clip-art image online or through your word processing software that could be printed onto colored card stock then cut out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis board will remind your students of the fun that autumn brings!

If you have rolls of bulletin board paper or construction paper in assorted colors and can create simple shapes, your bulletin board scarecrow will be a snap! Begin by cutting a large square from red or orange paper. This will be used as the base for the sign held by the scarecrow. Use word processing software or dark blue paint to script your chosen title onto white paper, then mount the sign onto the construction paper square, making sure to leave a border of color. Create the rest of the pieces for your scarecrow based on the dimensions\/size of the sign. You'll need two \"blue jean\" rectangle legs, one large tan circle head, eight small tan oval \"fingers\", one large black oval (cut in half to create boots), and one large brown hat. Assemble these simple scarecrow pieces then use assorted colors of paper to add embellishments - small strips of yellow paper (slightly crinkled) to add \"straw\" detailing at the hem of each pant leg and a mop of hair on the scarecrow's head, slightly uneven squares of paper in orange, green, purple, etc. to create patches on the scarecrow's pants (\"sewn\" on with black yarn), and a small red or yellow flower to adorn the scarecrow's hat. Draw a face on your scarecrow and you're all set! 2) The Crows. Once again, if you can create simple shapes, you can create crows for your board. You'll need one large black circle body, one small black circle head, one small orange triangle beak, and eyes made from small black and white circles. King uses these cutouts as embellishments, but you might consider displaying student names on the crows with white or metallic paint pens. 3) The Leaves. Create a leaf template from card stock, using it to trace and cut out leaves from construction paper in fall colors (e.g. red, orange, yellow, brown, and green).

The (very talented!) creator of this bulletin board decoration used oil pastels and advanced shading techniques to create this tree. If this seems daunting, consider creating a simpler tree with brown construction paper or brown bulletin board paper. Either use an overhead projector to enlarge and trace the shape of a basket onto the paper or, if you don’t want to mess with a projector, you can freehand it. It isn’t terribly difficult. 2) The Night Sky. Again, the bulletin board designer used oil pastels to create the brilliant moon, but you can certainly use plain yellow construction paper or yellow background paper. To add a twinkle to the sky, place small silver star stickers around the tree and board. 3) The Leaves. Create a simple leaf template from card stock, using it to trace and cut leaves from construction paper in fall colors (e.g. red, orange, yellow, and brown). 'Scatter' these around the base of the tree.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the design seems simple, we think this bulletin board display would make a spectacular addition to your classroom this fall!

Draw a large spider shape onto a piece of black bulletin board paper, large sheet of black poster board, or sheets of black construction paper that have been taped together. Cut out and complete using white, purple, and black construction paper to construct goofy spider eyes and a mouth. 3) The Spider Web. String up orange fake spider webbing (like the kind used to decorate bushes!). 4) The Details. Because of it's Halloween theme, the creator added several pumpkins and fall leaves. You could free-hand a template for these or you might also be able to find a black and white clip-art print online or through your word processing software that could then be printed onto colored card stock and cut out. 5) The Lettering. Unlike other boards, the creator of this display uses the title letters as artwork as well. The get the same effect, free-hand the title using bubble letters (adding the proper detailing), shade the letters with an orange marker, then create the illusion of green slime oozing through the letters with a green marker.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eYou Might Also Consider...\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreating a trick-or-treat theme where Swiper tries to \"steal\" all the Halloween candy, adding one of Dora's famous lines, \"Swiper, no swiping!\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrawing Dora and the other characters in more detailed Halloween costumes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparating the \"dual-themes\" - create one board that features the oozing letters and the spider, and another board that features a Dora Halloween theme.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe'd love to hear your thoughts on this board as well as how you decorated your classroom for Halloween this year, so be sure to leave us a comment below!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mpm-adbox\"\u003eShop at our online \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eteacher store\u003c\/a\u003e, mpmSchoolSupplies.com to save on everything from an educational \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/c-276-classroom-rugs-classroom-carpets.aspx\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eclassroom rug\u003c\/a\u003e to \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/c-248-glue-adhesives.aspx\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eElmer's glue\u003c\/a\u003e!\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SupplyMe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1734094356505,"sku":"A1047","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1418\/0968\/products\/Dora-Halloween-Bulletin-Board.jpg?v=1522781636"},{"product_id":"falling-into-fall-a1049","title":"Falling Into Fall - Pumpkins \u0026 Fall Leaves Bulletin Board Idea","description":"\u003cfigure class=\"caption\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-486  \" title=\"Scarecrow Bulletin Board\" src=\"\/\/supplyme-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/post\/Scarecrow-Bulletin-Board-b.jpg\" alt=\"Pumpkins and Scarecrow Fall Bulletin Board Idea\" data-pin-hover=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption\u003ePhoto Source: lilteacher.com\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/ideas\/bulletin-board-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003ebulletin board ideas\u003c\/a\u003e are the ones that, with only minimal alterations, can be used to complement several different units, seasons, or themes.

Provide students with brown chenille stems, pony beads in various colors, and a brown paper lunch sack. Have each student string 3 pipe cleaners with pony beads. [NOTE: This could be a great time to discuss patterning and complimentary colors!] Place the beaded stems side by side and twist together the excess wire stem at each end. Create a corn \"husk\" by cutting a panel from the lunch bag and rolling\/twisting it until it is a long thin \"stick\". When unrolled the piece of lunch bag should retain the curve and crinkle. Place the beaded stems in the center of the unrolled paper and twist it at each end to secure the \"cob\" inside the \"husk\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePopcorn Corn Cob.

It might also be fun to use construction paper or fun patterned scrapbook papers to create \"patches\" on the scarecrow's clothing.

Glashow purchased a large tree cutout and decorated it with vines of silk fall leaves (easily found at your local craft store).

If you can only fit a small number and you'd like to feature your entire class, take 'special' pictures for the board - assigning two to three students per side window and fitting a larger group in the front windshield. To feature the 7 third grade teachers, Beth had to add two extra windows.] Trace or draw with pencil then outline and decorate using permanent markers in assorted colors. 2) The Planets.
