7 Design Ideas for Spring Daycare Bulletin Board

Here are some more fun and festive bulletin board ideas to get your daycare ready for this season:

1. Birds

Spring and birds are the most refreshing combo to undo stress. Enjoying bird watching with kids in real-time might not be possible for all.

But watching a bird-filled bulletin board would be a nice idea as well, wouldn’t it? Let’s begin with the easiest, most loving bird recipe for your daycare.

Make a “Spring is in the air” board with cut-out paper birds. You can even add some real feathers for a 3D effect.

How to Make It: Have kids paint paper plates white and cut out the middle to form the shape of a bird’s head. Glue a large pink construction paper heart in the middle of the plate to form the bird’s beak.

Then, use a pipe cleaner or straw to attach the head to the body. And finish it up by hanging them on board via ribbons.

2. Floral Theme

Use brightly-colored construction paper to create a giant flower garden. Add some paper butterflies for a touch of whimsy.

You can also use kids’ photographs in a fun way to decorate the daycare bulletin board for the spring season!

Here is an interesting example:

Ask each kid about their favorite animal. Create cutouts of those animals and paste each favorite animal below the kid doing one of the spring activity pictures, along with the animal and the kid’s name.

5. Digging into Nature

Gardening is another old, traditional and healthy spring activity to do with kids. But again time and resources constraints!

Here’s how to be part of this spring tradition while being indoors. Use nature-inspired materials like flowers, leaves, and twigs to create some beautiful artwork for your bulletin board.

How to Make It: Collect or ask kids to bring their share of pressed twigs, flowers, leaves or small plants. Now, take clear self-adhesive contact paper and cut two circles. Ask kids to place their choice of plants and flowers on one circle, then secure the art by placing another circle on top of it.

Poke a hole in them, and your bulletin board ornaments are ready to hang.

6. Colors & Craft

Spring is a month of colors and new beginnings. There’s no denying it!

About toddlers, I say, “Give the right box of colors, and they can draw a whole world”. They aren’t professional artists, but you can’t deny their ability to bring imagination onto paper.

Not only is it fun, but the results might also leave you rolling on the floor laughing!

7. Nature’s Sensory Board Ideas

Infants love colors; spring is a fresh, bright, and colorful start. But more than flat images, infants take more interest in 3D boards. You can use foam blocks to make these.

3. Make sensory stuffed animals. You could use construction paper or a large cardboard box to make the body. Make a cute face with eyes and a nose, or stick a small picture of a face on the body.
