Spring Name Tags (or in my case door decs!)

These cute little door decorations and name tags don't take too long to do and actually turn out quite awesome. If you have a couple hours, they will be great for your students or residents!

Materials

• Foam Egg cutouts
• Yellow Construction paper
• Tape (or glue)
• Exacto Knife
• Scissors
• Markers

Directions

1. Use the exacto knife to cut the eggs in half much like a half hatched egg. You can actually make 2 name tags per egg using both sides. The foam is easier to cut with the knife than with normal scissors.

2. Cut a body shape out of the yellow paper. Make it so that it is no wider than the egg cutout.

3. Cut some wing shapes out of the paper. Make them all different for some variety.

4. Tape the body part the way down the back of the egg (so that it doesn't go out the bottom but has enough body and head sticking out the top.)

5. Then tape the wings on the back. Draw some eyes (switch those up for cuteness factor) and add a beak. Write the name on the tag and voila!

Bulletin Board for Winter

Bulletin boards can be a little difficult when it comes to ideas for winters...especially when dealing with older children and adults (especially in the college atmosphere). Here is a cool idea that was a hit in my dorm.

Basically make a bunch of different kinds of coffee cups out of construction papers. I found stencils online for 3 types and made them out of different things. Don't forget to decorate them! 

Use a white background and draw "steam" coming from the coffee cups. Name it "Favorite Winter Memories," or "Favorite Things About Winter," or "What did you do for Christmas?"

Leave some markers and wait to see what gets put up there! Super easy!

Fall Bulletin Board

Here's a cute idea for residents/students for a fall bulletin board.

Make  a tree out of paper/poster board.

You can get apple cut outs at JoAnn Fabrics/Hobby Lobby. Write healthy tips like "use the stairs, not the elevators." "Drink more water," "Get plenty of rest," "Cook you own meals," etc.
