JUNGLE SAFARI THEME CLASSROOM DECOR IDEAS


One of the things you might not know about me is that my mom teaches as well.  She works in a private preschool and depending on needs teaches pre-k, kindergarten, or a mashup of both!  Needless to say, my mom and I both love our animal prints and try to incorporate them in our classroom theme as often as we possibly can!

In the past my mom and I have both changed our classroom themes EVERY SINGLE YEAR! Yup! I said it! Every year! New theme, new borders, new paper, new colors, new everything! We have been doing this for the past 9 years!  We share materials and if she has a jungle theme one year, I might do that jungle theme the following year and the trend continues until we have repeats!


In todays post, I will show you some ideas from my moms jungle theme classroom as well as link you to my original posts.

 I went to her school and helped her set up everything.  Luckily her school has air condition (unlike mine).  Here are the preliminary boards!

This is where all the beautiful animal print calendar decor came in handy.

 Here is the classroom Behavior Chart.  Each student is in a safari outfit! The chart says: Safari Lodge, On Safari, Lost in the Jungle, and Stuck in Quick Sand!  My mother starts all students at the Safari Lodge and moves them according to their behavior!

You can snag the safari kids templates HERE!  It is perfect as a fun bulletin board, a first day of school activity for students or really anything else you can think of!  They are hand drawn by me and students love looking at themselves "dressed up"!

There aren't many bulletin board in my mother's school.  She uses paper or poster board and staples them right into the walls. 🙊 It worked so far!

 Leopard with a Safari Hat that my dad won years ago on the boardwalk.  This leopard has kind of been our mascot and the kids love him!

Large Zebra Cut Out

 Zebra valance made from zebra fabric and double sided tape.


Jungle Reading Hut! It is made from bamboo sticks and a grass table skirt!  We put the bamboo sticks in coffee cans and filled them with concrete! They have lasted since 2011 and have been passed around from room to room.  I also attache the bamboo sticks on the top with zip-ties and hot glue!  It keeps it nice and sturdy, but makes it very easy to disassemble.  

Here is the link to all my safari theme items. 

I have BUNDLES or you can buy the items separately!

What Does the Fox Say?

Who knows what the fox actually says? Maybe you can ask him while making this adorable fox craftivity!  I came up with the idea to create the best bulletin board collaboration!  I had to get rid of my winter bulletin boards because  I was sick of snow and cold and very ready for spring and warm weather.   With warmer weather and spring come baby animals, which includes one of my favorite animals... the fox!  Baby foxes are the cutest ever!   Since March is all about Reading, I mashed a bunch of idea together and came up with some pretty cool bulletin boards. First, I drew Fox in Socks!  Then I had my class create foxes and thought of two rhyming words to put on the fox! I also created a clothesline that is hanging pairs of rhyming socks!  Result = the best bulletin board ever! My kids love this craft year after year! This year I created a different bulletin board!  I have also been moved to 3rd grade and have adapted these foxes

Western Theme Classroom Ideas

Image
Howdy Y'all!  My mom and I both teach kindergarten and each year we switch classroom themes. One of the themes we switch between is the Western theme. Here you will find some ideas we have used over the years! Each time we do it we change it up a little. Enjoy the ideas! Here is our hut/ reading nook that we have transformed into a covered wagon type structure. It took a lot of time and energy to get it perfect. We used long white bendable plastic pipes from Home Depot to make the front and back of the cover. Then we used some extra bamboo sticks to keep the fabric up.  Below are some products we use to make our theme special! Click the thumbnail to take a closer look!
