KIDS DECOR FOR THE CLASSROOM Questions

Carol asks…

Can you help me develop an kids decor idea for teacher appreciation week?

At my daughter’s school, the homeroom moms decorate the teacher’s doors for teacher appreciation week. As I am the homeroom mom, that makes it my responsibility this year.

My daughter’s teacher loves the ocean and has all kinds of stuff in the room about the sea and ocean life. So I was thinking of decorating the door in an ocean/sea theme.

But I need a little poem/saying to go with it. What I’d like to do is have fish cut-outs that the kids color and on the back write what their favorite thing about the teacher is. Then stick these up all over the door in a fish school type formation with some sort of saying about school/teacher.

All I’ve come up with is:
Of all the school’s in the sea,
This is the class where I most want to be.

I could really use some more ideas. I also have a fish net w/ a dried sea star and large shell that I’m going to hang in the entry way, over the heads of people.

Sherrie answers:

Great ideas! Can you use the wall outside of the classroom as well? I’m envisioning a school of fish being led by the teacher fish which is larger than the others and sparkly like rainbow fish everywhere. Perhaps you could get some sequins and glitter? Let the kids color their fish then outline them in glitter and form them into a school of fish, like you mentioned. What about having the school of fish going towards the teacher fish which is located on the door? Cut some blue paper with a wavy bottom for a top border, and brown paper with a wavy top for the bottom border. Then decorate the door and wall with paper star fish, coral, kelp, etc. And in the blue area have the kids can then print out what they want to say about their teacher. Your saying “Of all the school’s in the sea, this is the class where I most want to be.” would work great with this type of display. Maybe just add some wording near the bottom that says something like  “What we like like about our teacher.” Love your idea about hanging a fish net too! Best wishes with your kids decor project!

Thomas asks…

What is the best way to remove wallpaper from my kids bedroom walls?

I tried a hair dryer and it did not work very well. I’m peeling my kids wallpaper off with my nails but it’s taking me way to long. Any ideas?

 

A:

Believe it or not, the trick is to score the wallpaper first with a wallpaper scoring tool (like paper tiger) and applying some fabric softener (the cheap stuff is fine). What you want to do is put a little fabric softener on a sponge and let it soak in for 5 to 10 minutes and then your wallpaper should easily peel off.

DECOR IDEAS FOR YOUR KIDS ROOM

PinterestEmailPrintFriendlyShare

by Irene Ashley

Your child’s room is important for your child as it is his domain. Kids in the age group of six to 10 are in their latency period when they are neither in their childhood nor in their adolescence. This is the time they explore and develop their minds. A well-set room for them helps them to have their own personal space that they love and call their own.

Their room needs a strong chair, a big writing desk and enough space for them to play around in the most funny and silly ways ever. The best thing is to get you kid involved while selecting the decor for his/her room. This raises the probability that he/she will take pride in what he has selected for himself in his own personal space. They have their own hobbies, interests and likes, and preferences about various things. As a parent, one should not ever overlook them while decorating their kids’ room. A room’s decor will vary according to the gender of the kid. A girl will like pink wallpapers, fairy tale themes for her self or other subtle ideas for her room. However, some ideas can be gender neutral. The following gender-neutral ideas will help you in decorating your kids’ room perfectly.

An inspirational theme
The basic step is to discover your kid’s area of interest and then to go more about it. By applying a theme to the room, you give your child an opportunity to develop and be influenced to become as a good person in his life. A kid may select astronomy for his room theme because he likes science and its wonders. Who knows he grows up as a scientist?

Save space
You can always visit a professional to help you save space in your kids’ rooms so that they look clutter free and neat all the time. Some useful tips given by experts are open closets, make shelves in the walls or opt for foldable fixtures in the rooms. An expert will be able to serve your needs better by having a personal look himself.

Mix those colors
A room will look good with different colors on each wall, floor and the ceiling. In addition, it is most likely to appeal almost all the kids. A very different wooden closet and a unique carpet will make the room all the more attractive.

Beds
Kid’s beds are available in various kinds of patterns such as stripes, plains or solids. In addition, they can match with one of your colors on the walls. Choose the one, which your child has selected, for him.

Writing desks
School going kids have to study and complete their homework at home. They need a spacious study table with a comfortable chair that supports a perfect posture for their growing bodies. Also, make sure the table is not kept right at the window. Rather a wall behind the kid is desirable for an ideal study space. The reasons for this can be attributed to the science of ‘Vaastu Shastra’.

PHOTO FRAMES & HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT ONE

The Easy Way to Choose the Right Frame For a Photo

By Sue E Krippner

When choosing the right frame for a photo, there are 2 general things you must consider: the photo that will be going into the frame and where the frame will eventually be located.

The first cue you will take from the photo when choosing a frame is the size of the photo. Make sure you measure the photo and choose an appropriate size frame. Nothing is more unfortunate than choosing the “perfect” frame only to find that it is too small for your photo.

If you want to matte the photo, you will need to decide on a larger frame and how much of the matte you will need to best highlight the photo. You also need to consider the content of the photo you are framing. Is it a family photo? A photo of friends? A recent vacation? Choose a frame which complements the content of the photograph. If it is a silly picture of a group of friends, you may want to choose a whimsical frame. If it happens to be a photo of your beach vacation, you may opt for a frame with a tropical theme.

Avoid the common mistake of choosing a frame that distracts from the photo. The frames purpose is to compliment the featured photo. A frame that is too loud or busy will be distracting. To reiterate: Watch the size of the frame to photo. You want to enhance the photo not bury it in a fancy frame.

Second, you must take into account where the photo will be placed once it has been framed. Most broadly, you should ask yourself whether the framed photo is for yourself or whether you will be giving it as a gift. If the photo is a gift, you should choose a frame which suits the other person’s tastes, which may differ from your own. If you are choosing a frame for yourself, ask yourself where you are likely to hang or place the photo.

Check to see that the frame you have chosen can be used as both a freestanding frame and a standalone frame. A more versatile frame can be used in more locations. If you plan to place the framed photo near other photos, you should choose a frame which complements nearby frames. You certainly don’t have to choose an identical frame, but it is best to choose a frame which is similar to the others in size, color, texture, or pattern.

Once you have decided on the frame and installed the photo, now it’s time to find that perfect location to display your precious memory. It is better to place your photo’s in a grouping where they will draw more attention.
