Creative Harmony Day activities for the classroom
Harmony Day is one of my absolute favourite days to celebrate in the classroom! It’s all about embracing inclusivity, diversity, and the amazing cultures that make our communities so special....
Have you ever felt that giddy feeling inside when you just know you’ve nailed something? As a raging perfectionist, I can tell you it doesn’t come often. But when it does? It’s so exciting!
And BFFs - I felt that A LOT as I worked on my latest decor collection, and I’m SO excited to share it with you today! This is a BIG statement to make but... it could even be my favorite collection to date. So without further ado, allow me to introduce… The Boho Plants Range!
I am well known among my family and friends for my passion for plants, and my talent for killing them within days. A green thumb, I am not! In fact, the glorious Mrs Edgar (@mrsedgarsclass on Instagram) and I have a long-running competition about who is the most enthusiastic-but-awful plant mum. She has a plant cemetery in her backyard, so I think she wins!
If you’re a plant lover (and perhaps also a plant killer) you’re going to love this collection. It brings all the benefits of greenery, but with zero maintenance!
With the Boho Plants Range, I wanted to help you create a relaxing and stylish classroom environment. Somewhere that feels fresh, coordinated and calming. As you scroll, you’ll see this collection has my usual mixture of boho, minimal and rustic aspects, but with a bit of a twist.
Rather than using a rainbow of colors this time, I wanted to really focus on a limited palette, using more neutral tones and gorgeous textures. I’ve made sure it’s the perfect balance of warm and engaging for the kids, but soft, soothing and stylish for the grown-ups too!
My favorite place to start with classroom decor is with storage - there’s just something so satisfying about beautiful storage labels, and well-organized binders. They really help tie a theme together and maintain organization throughout the school year.
No teacher should be without a trolley and a toolbox! My trolley labels and toolbox labels are editable, so you can organize them in the way that works best for you. Whether that’s having a drawer for each day, one for each subject, or a ‘to-do’ ‘done’ and ‘in progress’ drawer - the choice is yours.
Another really effective resource is the reading group labels, that allow you to keep your guided reading groups visible and organized. They’re totally editable, so you can call your groups whatever you like. (Why not keep the plant theme going and call the reading groups something like ‘seedlings’ ‘monsteras’ or ‘snap dragons’!)
Now, no classroom is complete without a series of alphabet posters! They’re an iconic part of every classroom and perfect for that space above the whiteboard. I’ve gone for beautifully illustrated animals within for the Boho Plants Range, and the colors are so versatile.
A beautiful birthday display is a great way to carry the theme across your classroom and will help your kiddos feel celebrated and at home.
As the sizing and text are totally customizable, you can make the birthday display fit a big space or a small one. (And as one of the most beautiful elements in the Boho Plants Range, I vote big!)
Your whiteboard and bulletin board are two really key areas when it comes to classroom decor. There are so many things you can do with this prime real estate, so here are some of my absolute favorite ideas.
Help your students learn the days of the week and all about the weather with a Classroom Calendar pack. They’ll love the interactivity of changing the display each day.
Use the calendar and daily schedule resources to help your class feel grounded and enjoy the predictability of a routine.
Until I work out how to design decor that hangs effortlessly like the video above, why not nominate a student to be your ‘Display Captain.’ They can update the displays each day, gain a little responsibility, while you get a bit of time back!
And on that note - here’s a hack to make your day a little easier. Rather than writing the date on the board each day, hang my Flip Calendar Display on a little rod and bracket and just flip it over each day. Too easy!
BFFs, two of the most meaningful things you can create in a classroom are Affirmation Stations and Motivational Displays. Creating space (literally!) for kids to focus on gratitude, validation and resilience is a powerful thing. And with the Boho Plants Range, it’ll look beautiful too!
So - there you have it! I hope you’ve enjoyed this closeup look at my brand new Boho Plants Range. There’s so much more to discover, so make sure you go and check it out. As always, my hot tip is to grab the entire Boho Plants Bundle - you get one of absolutely everything, and it’s half the price of buying it all separately.
I’d absolutely love to hear your thoughts about the new Boho Plants Range, and if you’ve got any questions I’m just a DM away!
