As the school year winds down, I was looking for a quick and easy summer bulletin board that we could make, and I found this adorable pineapple project!

When I saw these pineapple faces from Creative Clips, I became immediately obsessed! I’m not ashamed to admit it; I jump on bandwagons like nobody’s business. Whether it’s Rae Dunn, Fixer Upper, or Pineapples, I’m as basic as they come!
I love to use Krista Wallden’s clip art for art projects because she produces work that is nice and simple with clean black lines but also contains adorable details that add so much fun and character to the classroom. To create the artwork, I took the black lines of pineapples and blew them up in PowerPoint. I gave my kids a couple of different pineapple options, and I printed them up on card stock.
Looking for some cute pineapple stories to go along with your summer bulletin board?
We started by outlining the pineapple in crayons to make the colors stand out a little bit more, and then we headed outside to do some water coloring.

Finally, the kids cut it out, and I put it on our bulletin board. I love how everything pops on the black background, and I would love to do all-black bulletin boards next year, but I’m afraid that it might make the classroom too dark. Have any of you tried all-black bulletin boards?
The center sign was made with some beautiful KG fonts, one of which is Pineapple Delight, of course! I made the sign below in PowerPoint and printed the PDF out in poster size. I followed the directions on a Pinterest pin I had saved a long time ago, and it worked perfectly.
I printed the sign, laminated it, and I’m going to say my husband put it together while I was cooking dinner. Attention to detail is not my strong suit : )
