5 DIY Projects for the Classroom

Tara from 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made It!

I have been having a blast this summer with the DIY projects for my new classroom, so I thought I’d share a few (plus a couple of oldies!) If you follow us on Instagram, you’ve probably seen a few sneak peeks of these. If not… click here so we can be BFFs!

My first two projects were from last summer. I saw the cutest fabric strip table skirt from Marsha at A Differentiated Kindergarten. She has an amazing tutorial that you should check out if you want to do one!

I then used fabric scissors and cut the fabric in strips.

Ta-da! Final product! Again, check out Marsha’s tutorial for instructions.

my comfy, cozy teacher chair! I’ve now had this chair for a year, and it has held up perfectly!

I love everything about Target erasers. It’s a problem. My kiddos love using these seasonal erasers as manipulatives with our math centers. I started to realize I had WAY TOO many erasers, so I ordered this toolkit drawer system from Amazon. I sorted the erasers and then hot-glued one eraser on each drawer for easy access.

A little light sanding, some spray paint from Target, and voila! I used trash bags around the legs to protect the legs from the paint.

Finally, my FAVORITE project so far, my new classroom kindness table.

I then painted the sides white and the middle teal. I used Devine Color Spray Paint from Target. You can find them here.

And here’s the final product. I can’t wait to share it with my students! I’m hopeful that this will be a positive reminder for my students each time they sit at this table.
