January Bulletin Board Ideas for Preschool

After the December holidays, one way to refocus interest in preschool and catch the eye of children is with decor. Use the bulletin boards in your classroom to create displays that correspond with the topics your pupils are studying, such as themes that tie in with January.
  1. Our Snowmen Friends

    • Use blue paper to create a background. Provide children with three different sized circles cut from white construction paper—small, medium and large. Help them create a snowman by gluing the circles together—large on the bottom, medium in the center and small on top. Supply students with different art supplies, including crayons, markers, googly eyes, stickers and sequence. Ask students to decorate their snowmen. Take a picture of each child's face and attach pictures to his or her snowman. Affix the snowmen to the bulletin board. Title the board, "Our Snowmen Friends."

    Slip Sledding Away

    • Line the top half of a bulletin board with blue paper. Create hills on the board with white paper. Cut sled shapes from construction paper—one for each child. Provide children with the sled shapes and instruct them to draw pictures of themselves on the sleds with crayons or markers. After students have decorated their sleds, ask them what their favorite thing about winter is. Write their responses on their sleds. Display the sleds on the bulletin board, making it look as if they are sliding down the hills. Title the bulletin board, "Slip Sledding Away."

    Happy New Year

    • Use any color paper to create the background. Cut out triangle shapes from construction paper and give one to each child. Have children create party hats to celebrate the New Year with glitter, stickers, stamps, crayons and markers. Hang children's completed party hats on the bulletin boards. Add other party accents, such as balloons made of construction paper and crepe paper streamers. A simple title for this board, such as "Happy New Year" or "Welcome..." with year inserted, is appropriate.

    The Mitten

    • With your bulletin board, use the book, "The Mitten" by Jan Brett to get children excited about reading. From red paper, cut out a large mitten and hang it on the board. Line the top of the mitten with cotton balls. Print out images of the animals in the book from clip art, including a rabbit, a hedgehog, an owl, a mole, a fox, a badger and a bear. Attach the picture to the bulletin board. Title the board, "The Mitten."
