Monday Made-It, Minion Style

Monday Made It July 13
Our school-wide theme this year is Superheroes in Training, so I needed a theme for my bulletin board.  Well, since I love the minions and the new movie is coming out soon, I had to find a way to incorporate minions + superheroes together! Thus, after some Pinterest and other searching, I found my new bulletin board.

First, I printed the minions from Buzzfeed, glued to construction paper, laminated, and cut out.

Here are the 9 minions, all dressed up as (Left to Right): Thor, Superman, Spiderman, Captain America, Green Lantern, Black Widow, Nick Fury, Iron Man, Batman, and Hawkeye (had to get at one woman in there!


Next, I wrote up a caption for each of them to add to the board.








Finally, I purchased some glittery and patterned scrapbook paper, in yellow of course, to write out my title:  A MINION Ways to be a Hero.


Here it is on the board!



Second, I finally got a magnetic whiteboard installed this summer, so I've been looking for things to attach to it.  I wanted to get some magnetic containers with lids, but they were all running $10 or more for 3 of them.  So, I decided to get crafty.  I bought the blue and green containers below at Dollar Tree (2 for $1, lots of pretty colors), and I got the magnets for $1.75 at Joann's with a 50% off coupon.  Hot glue one magnet to one box, and now I've got 4 containers for paper clips, post-it notes, rubber bands, and push-pins at my fingertips!






I forgot to take a picture of the final product, so I will update this after I get the real pic!

      Thank you so much Vicky, I'm glad you liked it! The comments, besides all the cutting, definitely took me the longest to make sure I had them sounding like the character they belong to.

      Thank you so much! I too love the Minions, I thought about trying to make a life-size Gru on the side of the board, but my craftiness limit was up.

    The minion bulletin board would go over really well with one of my coworkers... She is *obsessed* with minions!! Haha!! I like it! I'm impressed by the creativity in the speech bubbles. I am not that clever when I'm trying to come up with bulletin boards! Kuddos!

      Thank you, I'm becoming slightly obsessed myself! If I didn't already have a color scheme going in my room that would be hard to change, I'd probably be minion crazy! As for the speech bubbles, I am really shocked that I was able to come up with them all, I'm normally not creative with wording and puns at all, thanks for thinking that I am (haha) :)

    Your minions board turned out so cute! I know the kiddos will LOVE it!! I'd love to see a picture of your finished product with the containers. I bought some of those too and would love to magnetize them. :)

      Haha, I wrote "Use technology for GOOD not Evil." It's a bit lame, but all I could really come up with.
