Happy Colors and Positive Messaging

You can’t go wrong bringing upbeat, positive decor to your classroom. Surrounding yourself and your students with happy, bright colors will bring fresh energy to your space. This theme also features the optimistic outlook this retro era is famous for! The unique classroom posters and decorative word posters highlight positive messages that will inspire your students daily.

Recreate This Retro Look in Your Classroom

I’ve created everything you need to transform your classroom with this decor! The complete Retro Vibes Classroom Decor Bundle includes desk name tags, table/group signs, alphabet and number posters, and so much more! Some of my favorite resources included in this theme are must-haves for teacher organization. This includes teacher toolbox labels, rolling cart labels, and a variety of classroom/supply labels. If you don’t already have a teacher toolbox or a rolling cart, be sure to check out these tutorials! Here are a couple blog posts covering how to make a teacher toolbox and how to make a rolling cart perfect for your classroom!

Also, here are some of my favorite accent items to compliment this theme! These thumbtack clothespins are a practical and cute way to hang banners across your bulletin boards. You can use them over and over again! Now for your bulletin board itself, I have to say this fadeless weathered wood background paper is my all-time favorite. It goes with everything and lasts forever! Speaking of things with lots of versatility, this messy dots border is fantastic! I’ve paired it with tons of my bulletin board designs in the past year. And I think it completes this retro look perfectly!

New Print At Home Calendar Design!

If you’ve been following my creations for a while, you’ll notice a new calendar format in this theme. Making it’s debut is a DIY calendar option that you can easily print from home!
