Preschool Bulletin Board Ideas January

One idea for a preschool bulletin board is to make it surround a month. If you are in the month of January, there are many ways that you can design your bulletin board.
Relate the bulletin board to the new year
You can teach your students about the new year and what it signifies. You can discuss the celebrations that occur around the world in the new year. Since most preschoolers cannot yet read, you can show pictures of how different cultures celebrate January. You can have the children draw pictures of how they celebrate the turning of the year in their own home. You can also add embellishments to the bulletin board such as “Happy New Year” hats and blowers. You can put up a calendar of the new year to help teach these principles to the children.
Winter theme
Another theme that goes along with January is the winter. Most places are fairly cold in January. You can show photographs or drawings of some of the things that people commonly do in the winter time of January such as sledding or skiing. You can have the children draw pictures of what they typically do in January to enjoy the season. You can have them do a craft that is related to January. For instance, you can have the children use construction paper and cotton balls to make a snowman, which you can then hang on the board.
No matter what type of board you use, you want it to be very visually attractive for the kids. You can use a pretty background that is related to the month of January. For instance, if you are going with a winter theme you can put up wrapping paper or fabric with snowflakes on it. You can write out the month at the top. You can add fun embellishments like stickers.
You can also relate the bulletin board to your individual classroom or to your local area. You can put a schedule of the activities that your class is doing in the month of January such as learning a specific letter or number. If there is something special in the community such as the country fair, then you can talk about that. You can mark down the names of the students who have a birthday in January as well. Use these and the above ideas when creating your preschool bulletin board.
