Western/Rodeo themed craft?!?

[Luv2teach]

Hello! I was wondering if any of you have an idea for a cute western/rodeo craft? I was thinking of setting up my bulletin board w/ the saying, "Saddle Up for a Super Year!" But I am not sure how to decorate the board. I really want the children to decorate the board w/ saddles, horses, horseshoes, hats, etc... I can't really find a site that has ideas for this theme. If you know of a site or have an idea yourself, I would be so thankful!!! I also would like to have the children have crafts hang from our classroom ceiling, but again I am not sure of an actual craft for this. I was thinking cowboy hats of some sort or horses on sticks? YIKES!!! Please, please--- any help will be great! Thanks!

a horse head change holder. Its made craft foam. Its really cute. My youngest son is western very much. You can take gray construction paper and make the little badges with the childrens name on them.

Hope this helped you some.

Please feel free to contact me if you want the pattern.

Give your children Sheriff's stars. Simply cut out a star shape (with round corners) from metallic contact paper.

Finally paste a picture to the paper and write wanted at the top. At the bottom write a description of all of the fun things they do. Use a bulletin board title like "Wanted For Fun
