Owls Theme Bulletin Board Ideas
Below are some owl theme bulletin board ideas for elementary teachers.
Owl Bulletin Board Backgrounds
If you would prefer to keep it simple and use solid color fabric or butcher paper for your bulletin board backgrounds, we recommend going with the colors brown, black and navy blue. A fun DIY project to consider is to create a background made out of paper that looks like owl feathers. It creates a unique textured look!
Owl Bulletin Board Trim
In addition to traditional border, put these items around the perimeter of your board.
- brown feathers
- leaves
- brown paper rolled up to look like branches
- pom poms
- yellow stars

Owl Themed Classroom Pictures
The owl classroom theme bundle includes BOTH the original version (shown below) and the newly updated version (shown above). In the newer version, we used all new clipart which includes much more diverse characters. Also, we made the entire bundle 100% editable so not only can you customize it with your students’ names and details specific to your classroom, you can now translate EVERYTHING into other languages too. This has long been a request from teachers of ELLs and immersion classrooms. Both versions are available in the Elementary Classroom Decor Collection.
