Choosing Colors for Your Sunflower Classroom Decor Theme
Stick with 2 or 3 main colors. Yellow and ______ . Yellow looks great with blue, brown, or black and white. Having only a few colors will really make your theme look cohesive and thought out. My district let me spray paint my file cabinets! How cute would bright yellow file cabinets look in your sunflower classroom?!? It is definitely worth checking out. I also spray painted all of my Sterilite plastic drawer units to match!
Sunflower Theme Classroom Props and Decor
Pick up a few bunches of silk sunflowers at the dollar store. You can use these at the ends of banners, as curtain tiebacks, on the corners of your whiteboard, as a bulletin board border, in a vase, etc. Here are a few other fun things I found at the dollar store to use: yellow tissue paper poms and tassels, yellow metal buckets for organizing, burlap ribbon, picture frames for my posters, and tiny fake potted plants!
Bulletin Board Ideas
Sunflower classroom decor bulletin board backgrounds can be fabric like denim, burlap or a plain color that matches your theme. You can even use paper that is printed to look like shiplap or wood planks to dress them up a bit! (Wrapping paper is often a cheap choice and easy to work with!) Bulletin board borders can be sunflower vines, burlap fabric or tissue paper bunched up, or traditional borders in a matching color.
