This book not only reviews the basics of bulletin boards, colors, backgrounds and borders, but it also shows how to make your bulletin boards educational for the children. I like the variety of ideas this book demonstrates on how to involve the students with bulletin boards, not only in making the bulletin boards, but in using them as a hands-on learning center.

The bulletin boards shown in the book require children to do an activity, such as matching numbers or moving pictures in a variety of lessons to learn colors, shapes and other skills.

Children in kindergarten will enjoy these interactive bulletin boards, as they learn concepts such as size, number, shape, and color . . I like how well the author explains each bulletin board as she includes materials needed, preparation, alternative titles, related themes and variations. Great book!

The final section is filled with many patterns for name tags, labels and alphabets that teachers can trace and use in their classroom creations. . . .This is the type of book that you could open up at any given time and get ideas from. -- Teachers at Valders (Wisconsin) Elementary School, The Valders Journal

4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful resource book., May 30, 2004

By	Susan L. (Birmingham, AL United States) - See all my reviews

This is a great teacher / parent resource book. It is full of bulletin board ideas. The patterns are simple and esy to use. Actually, as a pre-school teacher I use the patterns separtely for many projects. I use this book as a reference for many theme related activities as well as a starting place for bulletin boards. I only wish the patterns on the cover were included in the book (they aren't).
