I've got posters all around my classroom (I teach three and four-year-olds with disabilities). For the most part they're the mass produced type, the ones you'd see in any preschool program. I decided my classroom was due for a creativity facelift, so I've started painting my own posters (each about 5.5 feet tall) that will go on cupboard doors. I have a number of them that I want to create. Here's the first...it's a "Family Tree"...a spot where each of the students will have a family photo.

Here are some of my ideas. |

I drew it out and started painting the trunk. |

I painted the leaves green and added a hole in the tree.
I thought a critter needed to call that tree its home. |

I thought an owl would be just perfect! |

And he's sleeping because school is during the daytime.
I'll have one of my students write the words "Family Tree" to go at the top. |
