I think that scribble patterns go perfectly with a crayon theme because it looks like the scribbles could have been shaded in with crayons. It reminds me of Elmo’s World on Sesame Street, the set there rocks the crayon scribbles and it is so cute. So, you can merge the use of scribble borders, labels, and letters to decorate your classroom like in the picture above. (#ad)

How to Make Large Crayon Props for Classroom Decorations
If you want to know how to make giant crayons, you’ll need mailing tubes for the cylinder part, paper mache cones for the tips, and sheets of bulletin board paper for the paper wraps (in different colors). You will also need spray paint in different colors. In the first picture above, a teacher created large crayons for her class. She used a black scalloped bulletin board border trim (#ad) around the ‘neck’ and ‘tail’ of each crayon. In the second picture, these mailing tubes were used to create the large crayon props. These kind of DIY crayon props make cute classroom decorations, especially for preschool.
More ideas will be added soon.
