Mermaid Classroom Theme Ideas

mermaids as a classroom decor theme for elementary teachers

WHY CHOOSE A MERMAID CLASSROOM THEME

Teachers looking to create a fun, colorful learning environment will love a mermaid classroom theme. It gives the calming feeling of the ocean and being underwater. A mermaid themed classroom will have students excited to come to school year day because the environment is so engaging. This theme is perfect for teachers that love ocean animals, water, and bright colors.

BULLETIN BOARD IDEAS

BULLETIN BOARD BACKGROUNDS

A perfect way to incorporate the mermaid theme into your bulletin board is through the use of colored foil. You can buy this in big rolls or smaller pieces to create the effect of scales. Fabrics with scale or water patterns are also  an easy way to decorate your bulletin board background. You can also find many paper and plastic tablecloths or wrapping paper that have scale or water prints on them that make an easy bulletin board background.

BULLETIN BOARD TRIM

  • Layer different colors of foil to create the look of scales 
  • Use green streamers to mimic seaweed
  • Decorative fish netting
  • Paper polka dot garland in blues, greens, and purples
  • Colored foil to mimic scales

BULLETIN BOARD TITLES

  • Title your back to school bulletin board “We mermaid to be friends” with student names
  • Title your classroom library with the phrase “Dive Into a Good Book”
  • Display student work with the title, “Mer-maizing Work”
  • Add the phrase “Let’s Shell-ebrate” to your birthday display
  • Decorate your classroom door and write “Our Class is Making Waves”

OTHER IDEAS FOR A MERMAID CLASSROOM THEME

  • Create mermaid scale wall art by making a collage out of colored circles. You can add inspirational quotes or sayings
  • Hang clear, plastic ball ornaments to look like bubbles
  • Hang foil curtains around the room for texture
  • Sequin throw pillows can be placed in the classroom library or as flexible seating
  • Use mermaid scale wrapping paper to cover and decorate cans or containers and use as storage
