How to Design a Science Halloween Classroom Door

Most classroom doors are made using various art supplies. Bright green, orange, black, and purple are popular colors at Halloween.

One quick tip is to use pre-made letters. You do NOT want to be spending hours cutting out paper letters. You can always reuse the letters for multiple ideas.

If you can’t use staples, sticky tack or duct tape tends to have the strongest bonding power.

Before heading to the craft store (or Amazon, hello), it helps to sketch out the idea on paper. Then you can use a measuring tape to find out exactly how much of each item you will need so you don’t over-buy.

And the beauty of these doors is that if you are careful, you can use them year after year with just a few touch-ups.
