In Your Jurassic Era: Decor Ideas for Your Dinosaur Classroom Theme
Share this Post
If you’re looking to create an exciting and immersive atmosphere in your classroom, a modern dinosaur classroom theme might be just what you need! I’m loving this more mature take on dino decor. It works seamlessly for all grade levels! Featuring dinosaur silhouettes, watercolor foliage, and rugged terrain that transports students back in time. It’s an eye-catching way to engage your students, spark their imaginations, and set the tone for a memorable year of learning. These ideas are perfect for welcoming your Jurassic Era!
Setting the Scene with a Dinosaur Classroom Theme
Imagine stepping into a classroom where a dinosaur could peek out from behind a leafy fern or a cliffside. This theme brings that prehistoric world to life, creating a setting that feels both adventurous and visually stunning.
Dinosaur silhouettes placed strategically around the room give the impression that dinosaurs are on the prowl! The watercolor images of foliage and rock cliffs add a softer, artistic touch to the decor, balancing the wildness of the theme with a calming beauty. This modern design gives students the feeling they’re about to embark on an adventure of discovery each day!
Modern Dinosaur Bulletin Boards
It’s the highlight of the room – your dinosaur bulletin board display! My Modern Dinosaur Bulletin Board Kit includes 3 sayings, like “3rd Grade is a Walk in the Park.” (It includes letters to replace 3rd grade with other grade levels and even some subjects, like “Math” and “History.”) The phrase implies that 3rd grade can be a wild ride – just like walking through a Jurassic park!
Add in the bold dinosaur silhouettes, a textured landscape backdrop with cliffs and greenery, and your board becomes more than just decor. It becomes an interactive scene! You can add dinosaur tracks on the floor, leading up to the display, to add to the visual experience.
You could even print out the dino prints from the bulletin board kit and use them as foot-placement markers for where students will line-up before leaving the classroom. And you can enlarge the dinosaur silhouettes during printing to display around your room!
Coordinated Dinosaur Classroom Themed Resources
Round out your dinosaur classroom theme with 3 more matching resources.
- Bulletin Board Letters: Use these for your bulletin boards, custom wall displays (like favorite quotes or classroom slogans), or labeling areas of the room. Use letters with prints that match your overall theme for a cohesive, consistent look. Like these Modern Dinosaur Bulletin Board Letters in 2 font options – playful and primary-friendly.
- Classroom Posters: Display classroom rules, motivational quotes, or even subject area content on posters that feature dinosaurs and prehistoric landscapes. The blend of watercolor foliage and rock terrain adds a calm, yet adventurous feel to your learning environment, keeping the theme unified and professional. This set of Modern Dinosaur Classroom Posters includes 18 pre-made posters plus a text editable file so you can customize even more resources for your classroom that match your theme!
- Google Slides Templates: Extend your dinosaur classroom theme into your lessons and morning meetings with matching Modern Dinosaur Google Slides templates. A fun way to engage students during digital lessons, the templates create a seamless connection between the classroom decor and what’s being presented on screen.

Plus, the adventure aspect is something students love – whether it’s in math, reading, or science, the connection to exploration and discovery makes it fun!
