Wizard of Oz Theme Bulletin Board Ideas
Below are some Wizard of Oz theme bulletin board ideas for elementary teachers.
Wizard of Oz Bulletin Board Backgrounds
Consider using yellow butcher paper to create a yellow brick road bulletin board background. Another idea is to use blue gingham fabric as a background. If you prefer to keep it simple and use solid color fabric or butcher paper for your bulletin board backgrounds, we recommend going with the colors red, yellow, and blue.
Wizard of Oz Bulletin Board Trim
In addition to traditional border, put these items around the perimeter of your board.
- add red glitter to plain red bulletin board trim to create border that looks like ruby red slippers.
- sponge print to make a yellow brick rove
- green sparkles to represent emerald city
- foil to represent the tin man
- straw to represent the scarecrow
