- 1). Cover the top half of the door with dark blue paper to symbolize the night sky. Cover the bottom half with light brown paper to symbolize the ground. Cut out some rectangles of green paper. Make each rectangle look like a tuft of grass by cutting fringe into the top. Cut as though you were making strips of paper, but leave a 1/2-inch border intact at the bottom of the rectangle. Glue these grass pieces around the outside edges of the ground.
- 2). Glue some trees onto the door. Cut out dark brown rectangles for trunks and place the bottom of each trunk on the line where the blue meets the light brown paper. Cut out cloud-shaped green tree tops. For a more realistic look, cut out small scraps of green paper. Layer them on top of one another and glue to the top of the trunks.
- 3). Cut out six dark brown rectangles. These are the logs of your campfire. Cut out flame shapes from yellow, orange and red paper. Layer the flames together and glue them to the center of the ground. Layer the logs against the bottom of the fire. Glue everything in place.
- 4). Cut tents and sleeping bags out of construction paper. Sleeping bags can be simple rectangle shapes, while each tent should be a triangle with a single line down the front. Glue these shapes on the ground surrounding the campfire.
- 5). Add your students to the door. Cut out a picture of each child's face, no larger than 2 inches across. Glue each child's face to the top of a sleeping bag or inside the opening of a tent. If you can't fit them all, cut out some yellow stars for the sky. Glue a picture onto each star. Another idea is to cut out some forest animals like owls. Place them in the trees and add a child's face to the head of each animal.
- 6). Add a heading at the top of the door. Use yellow paper to cut out block letters. Write a general message like "Welcome to Room 5B" or a camping message like "Under the Stars."
