Hanging Lanterns Make Smart Classroom Decorations

There’s no doubt there’s a correlation between student engagement and creative learning environments. Enter: Hanging Paper Lanterns. Not your traditional classroom decorations, hanging lanterns are a great way to freshen up existing classroom décor and teacher supplies. Hoist a cluster of hanging paper lanterns above a reading corner or learning center within the classroom to signify specific areas within the learning space. Or, if you’re looking for a fun back-to-school activity for students to partake in, use paper lanterns to create a fun craft, such as DIY hanging paper lantern apples. Just stock up on red, green and yellow paper lanterns, some felt and tissue paper. Then, have each student cut out a leaf shape from the felt and create a stem from the tissue paper by rolling the tissue paper together. Next, have each student attach the stem and the leaf to the top of a lantern. Last, display each student’s creation above their assigned seat for all the class to see! You could even have each student decorate a small piece of paper with their name and then attach that to each apple lantern so student’s can learn their peer’s names.
