Tinney and Armentrout decided not to include the crayon \"window\" because they wanted it to appear as if the box were tipped on its side and all the crayons had fallen out. Green bulletin board paper and traceable letters work great for the Crayola label at the top or you could use green tempera paint to script the letters by hand. Red and white construction paper work great for the rest of the box labels. Once again, you could also choose to use white paint on red paper to create customer lettering. 2) The Name Crayons. Create a crayon template from card stock. Trace the shape onto assorted colors of card stock or construction paper using a black permanent marker or paint to create the detailing. 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 then cut out.

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 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.

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.

For regular classroom use, consider using a fall-themed trimmer or a complimentary solid color bordette in a fall color. If you decide to display student names on crow cutouts (as described below), you might also consider using the colorful leaf cutouts as a border.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecoration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1) The Scarecrow. 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). Use these cutouts as King did to display student names or use them as a fun fall accent or border.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe love King's festive bulletin board decor and your students are sure to appreciate it as well!

Create a card stock corn template - including both the ear of corn and its husk - inviting students to trace and cut out a cob from yellow card stock and its husk from brown construction paper or card stock. Provide students with buttons in various colors (e.g. red, brown, purple, yellow, white, etc.) and have them attach button \"corn kernels\" to the cob.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLunch Bag Indian Corn. 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. Create a card stock corn template - including both the ear of corn and its husk - inviting students to trace and cut out a cob from yellow card stock and its husk from brown construction paper or card stock.

You could also create a dynamic \u003cem\u003etwo\u003c\/em\u003e-dimensional scarecrow using bulletin board paper (or fabric) to fashion clothing and the scarecrow's head, then use the raffia to create hair and add \"straw\" embellishments - at the hem of each pant leg and sleeve as well as at the top and bottom of the scarecrow's shirt. It might also be fun to use construction paper or fun patterned scrapbook papers to create \"patches\" on the scarecrow's clothing. [NOTE: You can use a large tapestry needle and yarn to actually sew the patches on the cutouts!] 2) The Fall Tree. Glashow purchased a large tree cutout and decorated it with vines of silk fall leaves (easily found at your local craft store). You could also freehand a tree cutout onto brown bulletin board paper and have your students make leaf crafts to decorate it.

Create an awning to attach to the top of the bulletin board by cutting a long, narrow trapezoid from white bulletin board paper and adding a scalloped edge to the bottom. Decorate as desired with markers or craft paint. We added colored stripes in magenta, orange, and light green. Cut a long strip of white bulletin board paper to attach along the bottom of the bulletin board. Once again, decorate as desired. 2) The Ice Cream Shack Sign. Cut a long, narrow rectangle from your choice of colored background paper. We decided to use white, adding a fun border to make it stand out, then added the first part of the title in a fun, loopy font. Attach this above the bulletin board. 3) The Windows. Cut two large squares from white bulletin board paper, using markers to add detailing. Use word processing software to create a sign or script \"Order Here\" and \"Pick-Up Here\" to the top of the windows. Mount these to the board - the \"order\" window on the left, the \"pick-up\" window on the right. 4) The Flavor Menu. Cut a large rectangle from white bulletin board paper {or another color of your choice}, using markers or craft paint to create a border. Use word processing software to create a sign or script the second part of the title \"The New Fall FLAVORS\" at the top. Using your student roster, create fun ice cream flavors from your kiddos names {i.e. Eddie's English Toffee Crunch}. Cut strips of colored paper, scripting each new \"flavor\" onto a strip and arranging them on the \"menu\". Hang the flavor menu between the \"order\" and \"pick-up\" windows.\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2297\" title=\"Ice-Cream-Shack-BBI-1\" alt=\"Ice Cream Back To School Bulletin Board Idea\" src=\"\/\/supplyme-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/post\/Ice-Cream-Shack-BBI-1.jpg\" data-pin-hover=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThanks so much for stopping by!

Six fit perfectly on Jennifer's board, but make as many as you need! 2) The Attendance Boards.

As you can see with Laurie's, the shape doesn't have to be perfect. In fact, a \"lumpy\" hat goes right along with the scarecrow \"image\"! Laurie then added a band of lighter orange paper and a sunflower to create visual interest and differentiate the brim from the rest of the hat. The design is super cute, but remember that you can customize the hat as you please! Add a colorful patch somewhere on the hat, use a fall leaf or colorful button cutout instead of a sunflower to decorate the band, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext, cut several strips of yellow bulletin board paper and arrange them to create the scarecrow's straw hair. By cutting the strips different lengths or attaching them at different heights, more dimension is created! When dry {and secure!}, mount the entire hat\/hair combo to the top of the door frame.
