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}.
