Here are the parts we made:

Our Crowns:  We used yellow paint, stickers, jewels, sequins & stickers.

Our Armor:  We used yellow & orange paint, pattern block die cuts, black crosses, & paper bags.

Our Armor:  My son modeling the armor all decorated!

Fairy Tale Fun

Day One of Sunny Days:

Today we kicked off our week of “Storybook Royalty” and the kids got to get messy!  Here are some of the neat decorations that were around the school.  You may want to make & add to your fairy tale classroom decor.  Happy Decorating!

Castle Gate Entrance

There is a better picture on pinterest.  This was inspired by that one.

The kids liked walking through them.

Knights Shield/Coat of Arms

Easy to make with aluminum foil & paper.

Castle Torch

Just a tiki torch painted black, tissue paper, a stand, and draped with metallic material.

I love Pinterest!!!

For the next week I am teaching "Storybook Royalty" @ Sunny Days, St. Peter's U.M.C.  I am very excited to be teaching the 5's age group. I just love this age!!!  I am going to miss them when I start teaching 2nd. 

Today I began setting up my room by creating a welcome door.

It did not turn out exactly the way I had envisioned it, but it is OK.

Thanks mom for giving me a hand today!!!

Here are some pictures that go through the steps I took:

I think the door cost around $3.00 to make.  It would be really great to have the kid's decorate their own name shield, but we have to have them up before they come to class.

First, I cut up some of my recycling to make the shields.
See the "Hot Pockets" picture. LOL

Then, I added the kid's names to each shield.
(Sorry for the terrible handwriting!)

Next, I thought I would make them cuter by adding glitter ... I LOVE glitter!

After that, I bought light blue & a diamond patterned wrapping paper for the door design.  I made a tower with the diamond pattern.  Best I could find at the dollar store ...

Next, I added Rapunzel with curly ribbon hair & the kid's shields.
Thanks mom for cutting her out!!!

Finally, we die cut the letters and added them to the top & on the big shield.

Here is an up-close look @ Rapunzel.
The hair was not what we thought we would do ... but it was getting late. :o)
I just love the movie Tangled!!!
