ABC.. Easy as 123 Bulletin Board for Daycare, School, or Kid's Space

My sister recently had a little baby boy (my first nephew!). She was a Catholic school preschool teacher, but decided to start an in-home day care so she can stay at home and raise her son. Oh boy, is there a lot involved in running a day care! I helped her with one small project this weekend...

She needed a place to display important documents for parents. Instead of a plan old brown bulletin, I decided to add some color! 

Sorry, this picture is a little blurry. (I have misplaced my camera charger for quite a long time now... so I've been stuck with just using my cell phone! Time to get a new camera =) )

So, all you need for this project is....

  • A few pieces of foam paper (I got a pack from the dollar store - I believe it was about 2mm  in thickness, but you can go thicker if you'd like)
  • A pair of scissors
  • A box cutter (to cut out the inside parts of some of the numbers and letters)
  • A hot glue gun
  • A bulletin board (we found ours at a rummage sale - $3 - can't beat that price!)
  • Optional: Stencils to trace out the letters and numbers (I just free-handed mine - it's not as hard as you would think!)

Finished product...
Well... what do you think?? =)

I will share another photo once she hangs it up on the wall.

Stay creative Odds & End'ers!
