20 Spring-Themed Bulletin Board Ideas for Preschool Classrooms

In a preschool classroom, spring means flowers, butterflies, bumble bees, and rainbows. In other words, it’s the most fun and adorable time of year to make preschool a sunny and engaging place for little learners.

Here are 20 spring-themed bulletin board ideas for preschool teachers to help bring that spring magic to the classroom. 

One of the most engaging themes for young children is animals. Preschoolers love talking and reading about interesting creatures, so why not outfit your spring bulletin board in a super cute animal theme? There are so many options, but here are a few we found to be particularly sweet: 

Nothing says “spring” like fluffy little bunnies, and with this bunny bulletin board kit, preschool teachers can turn the whole class into the cutest rabbits with either photos or preschoolers’ own drawings of themselves. This “every-bunny welcome” kit is another fun bunny choice that promotes inclusion in the classroom.

These quacking ducks are ready to bring cheer to your spring bulletin board and include a few options for spring-themed wordplay. Our personal favorite: “Quack! Quack! Spring is back!” 

A personalized frog-themed bulletin board will welcome children to the classroom with some hoppin’ happy frogs adorned with their names. Preschoolers will be so proud to point to “their” frog as they walk in for class. 

A pack of springtime puppies will put smiles on preschool faces as they enter the classroom and decide which dog is their favorite. Lead a classroom discussion about household pets and see if anyone can pick out their own breed of pup from the group. 

We may not typically want to spot them indoors but ants marching across the bulletin board makes for a delightful theme that preschoolers will love. Put students’ faces on the ants to create a crew of familiar picnic troublemakers that kids will have a blast pointing out to each other and their caregivers. 

Another option that might “bee” more appealing? Outfit the bulletin board with bumble bees bearing the faces of each preschool student. This kit features an inclusive “welcome to our hive” message that will make the classroom feel like a warm and busy place. Here is another bee-themed bundle with messages like “buzzing with excitement for spring” and “bee your wonderful self.” 

Themes of change and growth fit nicely into a spring bulletin board at preschool. This “never stop growing” kit has sweet messages to encourage little ones like, “be kind” and “keep trying.” A bulletin board with the message “change can be beautiful” helps preschoolers learn about animals and insects that become something else entirely during their life cycle. This would be the perfect time to help students create their own butterfly craft.  

Help preschoolers learn about the importance of being good to our planet with the words “let the good things grow” among images of the earth and colorful plants.  

Create a sky full of preschool faces with a “soaring into spring” theme featuring brightly colored hot air balloons with space for photos of students. We also love the upbeat wordplay “we lift each other up”  of this hot air balloon-themed kit. 

Messages of kindness and the weather changes seen throughout spring are what make this “April showers” bulletin board kit special. Here is a similar kit with a kindness theme preschoolers will love to repeat: “make it rain kindness.”  

It wouldn’t be spring without flowers and gardens brimming with new growth. Here are a few bulletin board kits sure to bring bright colors and messages of renewal: 

Make students into a garden of “best buds” with this precious kit highlighting photos of our preschool friends. 

This flower-filled kit offers several ways to make the theme of “blooming” a central focus as little ones enter the classroom. A flower-centric craft, like these coffee filter flowers, will help preschoolers celebrate a floral theme for spring. 

A “learning helps us bloom” display provides space for each child’s name on a lovely pot of spring flowers.  

Finally, what’s spring without rainbows? Remind preschoolers they are a “rainbow of possibilities” or encourage them to “be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud.” 

Make spring a time of possibilities, colors, and excitement for preschoolers with one of these spring bulletin board ideas.  

Have you visited the Confident Classroom blog yet? As the flowers bloom and the weather gets warmer, these spring themes for preschool classrooms will have your preschoolers excited and engaged all season long.  From bugs and birds to spring holidays like Easter and St. Patrick’s Day, there’s so much to explore with your students.
