Valent ine’s Day décor for

the classroom

Classroom Décor From the Heart

While it’s easy to buy pre-made Valentine’s Day

décor for your classroom, it’s just as simple – and

more meaningful – to create it.

Best of all, you can get your students to all play a

part in the project.

Here are a few hands-on ideas for decorations that

will fill your room with love.

“Love is …” Bulletin Board

Every child has a different

definition of love.

To some, it’s a family campout

in the backyard. To others, it’s a

sibling who gives up the last

chocolate-chip cookie.

Let your students define love

for themselves using the writing

prompt “Love is …”

Vintage Valentines

Consider creating vintage

upper case letters, and then

having your students write a

Valentine’s Day message that

begins with that same letter.

‘You Are Loved’ Picture FramesValentine’s Day is a time of reminding

others not just that we love them, but

why we do.

Ask your students to write down the

reasons why they love their family.

Then, frame each paper with a heart

border. Hang the reasons up in your

classroom until Valentine’s Day, when

each child can take his or hers home to

mom and dad.

Heart Thumbprint BannerLace lends itself well to Valentine’s Day in the

classroom – and for a fun DIY bunt banner.

What You’ll Need:

• Large white lace doilies

• Washable red ink pads

• Twine

• Scissors

• Tape

Ask each child to leave a thumbprint heart on one

doily. Then, string the doilies together to form a

banner for your classroom wall.
