This past February, I had the honor or working with the Carson Dellosa family and some of my blog besties yet again at Annual CD Blogger Summit 2015. It was a whirlwind weekend, but some amazing things came out of it! I was asked to work with two adorable sets - Colorful Owls and Color me Bright. I created a snapshot of how you might use some of these decor products in your classroom. The picture above shows the finished product as it appears in the lookbook.
This picture below is how I left things at the Carson Dellosa offices. They did some picking and choosing and tweaking to make everything look incredible for the lookbook. So much work goes into the production of that book. Make sure you take a peek through the whole thing!
Here's a close up of one of my favorite little parts. This bookshelf serves as a great place to store your math games and manipulatives. I used the owl cutouts to label the area. If you're using an owl theme, these decorative eggs in a jar make the perfect estimation station!
This was my favorite board! I have to give a big shout out to my husband. He came with me this year and was a giant help. He's a teacher too, so he totally gets it. We used the giant letters from the welcome set to create the top of this board. So cute for a back to school board! Love the addition of the artificial tree leaves to the tree cutout. If you look closely, you'll see some little bird nests on the board too! The little owls are sitting in them on the tree.
I thought this was a clever way to use the pennant banner and library pockets. Just clip the pockets to a ribbon. I used laundry line clips I picked up at Walgreens. Now you have all those little things you need handy at your fingertips - bandaids, passes, bookmarks, stickers, reward pencils, etc...
If you love these little owls as much as I do, you can win the entire collection! Just enter via the Rafflecopter widget below.
I love the bookcase! I've never thought of using classroom decor to dress up bookcases!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVE what you did with all that owl decor! It must have been such an incredible experience being a part of the Carson Dellosa lookbook! I love seeing all of these amazing teachers that attend the blogger summit and are presented with the opportunity to decorate using the Carson Dellosa products! How do you make that happen?! Haha

ReplyDeleteI love all of the Bright and Beautiful Owls because they are so colorful and would catch the kid’s attention right away. My favorite item is the desk. The desk inviting for any child and I like how you lined the outside trim with the Owls. Everything you did was so creative and I love that you and husband used a lot of household items. This is so impressive.
ReplyDeleteI love the vocab board! What a neat idea!
ReplyDeleteI really love it all! I love the owl theme. The bookcases look great with the trim.
