Easy Christmas Decor & Bulletin Board Ideas For Busy Teachers
It’s that magical time of year when everything feels a little brighter, a little busier, and, let’s be honest, a whole lot more chaotic. Christmas classroom decor is one of the...
If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that the right tools can make teaching SO much easier. That’s why I’ve rounded up 10 of my favourite Amazon finds (all of which are practical, time-saving, and fun) that I genuinely love. Let’s dive in!

Let’s kick things off with one of my all-time favourite Amazon classroom finds, the calendar pocket chart! This gem is an absolute must-have for your classroom routine.
It comes with 71 flashcards (yes, 71!) so you can easily switch out the days, dates, months and even add in weather or special event cards.
Not only does it help build number and word recognition, but it’s also perfect for reinforcing days of the week, sequencing and routines.
You’ve probably seen the teacher toolbox trend, and let me tell you, it 100% lives up to the hype!
This heavy-duty 26-drawer organizer is a total game-changer for classroom organization. You can even go smaller with a 16 or 24-drawer or go up to 64 drawers! Whether you’re storing paper clips, sticky notes or even spare birthday candles (guilty!), this toolbox keeps all those little bits and pieces in one easy-to-access spot.
And you can totally make it your own using Miss Jacobs’ teacher toolbox labels!
An absolute classic for any teacher who loves to stay organised! This trolley has SO much space and is perfect for storing worksheets or craft supplies. I love that it comes in fun colour options (yes, including the iconic rainbow version!), so there’s no need to worry about matching your classroom decor.
Add a set of our trolley labels to level up your organisation and keep everything super easy to find!
This handy little rod is one of those classroom hacks you didn’t know you needed until you do! It attaches to any magnetic surface (no drilling or damage) and is perfect for hanging your classroom calendar.
Super easy to install, sleek in design, and available in a few different finishes, so you can choose the one that suits your space best.
Simple, affordable, and oh-so-useful! These sturdy rings are ideal for binding your calendar cards, flashcards, or student activities together.
I use them with our flip calendars because they make flipping between days and seasons a breeze, and they hold everything securely in place. Grab a pack and you’ll find a million uses for them!
These clever push lights are perfect for managing noise levels! Stick them on your board or wall and use them as a visual voice-level display: just tap to change colours.
They're battery-operated, super easy to install, and the soft light is great for sensory-friendly classrooms too.
I love using them as a calm, non-verbal way to guide student behavior and bonus, they look super cute!
A good table caddy is a classroom essential, and this one ticks ALL the boxes! It’s sturdy, has just the right number of compartments, and comes in either crisp white or fun colours to match your vibe.
Pop one on each group table to hold pencils, glue sticks, scissors, and more! It keeps everything within reach and helps encourage students to take responsibility for maintaining a tidy space.
Say goodbye to crinkly, torn paper! This background paper is smooth, durable, and reusable. It wipes clean, doesn’t tear when you staple, and makes your bulletin boards look super polished.
It’s also perfect for displaying classroom posters or student work without leaving messy holes behind. A must-have if you want your boards to stay fresh all year long!
This arched mirror is the perfect centrepiece for your affirmation station! Its clean design fits any theme and gives students a clear space to practise positive self-talk.
Pair it with our affirmation station decorations to turn a simple corner into a space for building confidence and self-love.
This little tool might not look like much, but it’s a lifesaver when it comes to switching up your displays. The comfy grip makes it easy to use, and the magnetic top catches stray staples before they hit the floor.
No more torn paper or digging at staples. Just smooth, easy removal every time.
Want to take things to the next level? The fun part is mixing and matching! Pair your new Amazon goodies with Miss Jacobs Little Learners’ classroom decor to create a space that’s not only functional but beautifully themed.
I hope this list has inspired you to treat yourself (and your classroom!) to something new. You deserve it! And, I can’t wait to see how you make these finds your own!
