Create a beautiful classroom display that your students build together!
 
Transform a blank bulletin board into a colorful work of art while building classroom community from the very first week of school. This Collaborative Bulletin Board Kit gives every student the opportunity to contribute to one large display, creating a welcoming classroom where everyone has a place.
 
The finished bulletin board features a cheerful sunny forest and flower scene with the inspirational message:
 
🌱 Here We Grow! 🌱
 
Instead of hanging pre-made decorations, your students become the artists! Each child colors and decorates one section of the collaborative picture, and when the pieces are assembled, they create one beautiful classroom display that celebrates teamwork and belonging.
 
What's Included
⭐ Teacher guide with assembly directions
⭐ 18 collaborative student pages that combine to create one large forest and flower scene
⭐ 7 printable border pages for students to color and decorate
⭐ A total of 25 printable student pages
 
The collaborative picture is designed as an 18-piece grid, making it easy to assign one page to each student. If your class has more than 18 students, simply print additional border pages so every child has a meaningful part in creating the display.
 
Flexible for Your Classroom
One of the best features of this resource is that you can make it your own!
Choose the approach that works best for your students:
🌼 Have everyone follow a coordinated color palette for a polished classroom display.
OR
🎨 Encourage students to use their own creativity and favorite colors to create a unique piece of collaborative artwork filled with personality.
 
No matter which option you choose, the finished bulletin board becomes a one-of-a-kind reflection of your class.

Why Teachers Love Collaborative Bulletin Boards
Students love seeing how their individual work becomes part of something much bigger.
 
This activity naturally encourages teamwork, cooperation, and a sense of belonging while filling your classroom with student-created artwork.
 
The completed display also sends a wonderful message to families. During Meet the Teacher Night or Open House, parents immediately recognize that every child has contributed to creating a welcoming classroom environment.
 
Rather than decorating your room for your students, you'll be decorating it with your students.
