Cute things for the classroom!

I've been getting pretty crafty in my room lately, and I just wanted to share my stuff with you guys! Enjoy! :)

My sister gave me some wooden letters that spelled out my name when I graduated from college, and I finally got around to painting them! I didn't even want to attempt to paint an animal print, but I really like the dots!


 Dowel rods + fuzzy balls = pointers! Obviously not my original idea, but cute nonetheless!


Now.... imagine a plain, boring ole clipboard. Now take that, add some animal print paper, mod podge, ribbon and stickers and VOILA! You have a ridiculously adorable clipboard. :) I really want to be better about going around and taking notes on my kids while they are working, so I decided to motivate myself with a decorated clipboard. It was my first time using mod podge, but I think it turned out great!

I am loving seeing everyone's pictures of their rooms and I will be posting mine as soon as everything is in place!

I have 2 and a half weeks til I go back to school and I am going to *try* to enjoy and not do much more school related. (But let's face it... I'll probably be working up at school tomorrow, lol!)

  1. I love the way you jazz up your clipboards. Great idea. Love the animal print and will look great with my jungle theme classroom. Where did you get the animal print paper? Would love to make these.
