How to Decorate a Classroom Door — 4 Teacher Tips to Help You Plan

When it comes to decorating the entrance to your classroom, there are a few tips that can save you some serious time.

1. Use Butcher Paper

Cutting out a long sheet of butcher paper is one of the easiest ways to cover your entire classroom door in a particular color to provide a backdrop for your door decorations. You can even buy the paper in 36-inch width — the size of most classroom doors!

2. Make It a Student Challenge

Featuring student work on your bulletin board is a great way to make kids feel like they're part of the classroom community, but why not take it one step further? Show students examples of well-decorated classroom doors, then challenge them to design their own!

3. Tape Down the Sides

This may sound obvious, but trust us! Forgetting to tape your decor to the sides of the door can spell disaster.

You want your decorations to sit tightly in place so they aren't torn each time you open or close the door.

4. Borrow From Your Bulletin Boards

Doors and bulletin boards may have different dimensions, but there's no reason you can't use the cut-out decorations from one on the other! As you browse Teach Starter's door decor, you'll notice many can work on a bulletin board too — and vice versa!
