Well here it is, SUMMER, and if you are reading this you are doing what teachers do best – thinking about school! ย It’s a blessing and a curse. ย So, if you are going to be thinking about school and getting prepared for next year – then you might as well have some fun doing it! ย I’m so glad you found the Summer Stock-Up!When it comes to setting up my classroom I, like you, put a lot of thought into what I my room to look like and feel like. ย My goal is always to make an inviting and comfortable room for my students. ย When I moved to kindergarten I spent lots of time thinking about my decor. ย I finally decided on an Eric Carle theme. ย I LOVE Eric Carle – his books, his illustrations, really just everything about him! ย I hit the internet and was really disappointed that there was not much out there in the classroom decor category. ย So I decided I would just make it myself. ย The result is my Eric Carle Inspired Classroom Theme.
I have tried to include everything a teacher could want in this theme. ย As a teacher myself who is always looking for a good deal, I try to be mindful of the teacher budget. ย This is why I have each item separate in my store. ย This way you only have to buy the items that you will use in your classroom. ย For those that want it all, I have bundled the items together with a discount for the bundle. ย So here’s a glimpse of just a few items in the Eric Carle Inspired classroom theme.

There’s many other components to this theme. ย I have each of these classroom items available individually and in a bundle that allows you to save over 20%. ย The bundle even has some bonus items that you can’t buy individually. ย I even have many of the resources available in Spanish too! ย You can find them all by clicking on the caterpillar below!
This is one of my Pinterest finds! ย The caterpillar adorns the corner of the room! |
Here’s a few pictures of how I used this theme in my classroom. ย I used the resources I created and also things I could find in teacher stores and online.
I used old Eric Carle book jackets to hand from the ceiling and on the wall. I love the Hungry Caterpillar comforter as a rug. I found a similar comforter online. ย Click here to see it. |
In the hallway I hung the Welcome to Kindergarten banner. The animals on the wall are reusable wall decals. You can find them on Amazon by clicking here. |
Here’s my Word Wall using the Alphabet Cards from my TpT store. ย The cards come in 3 different sizes. ย The Eric Carle border I found at a local teacher store. |
