🍎 Fresh Picks for a New School Year: Say Hello to Apple Time!

There’s something timeless—and a little magical—about apples in the classroom. They signal the start of a new school year, a fresh beginning, and all the excitement that comes with welcoming your students back. That’s why we’re head over heels for Apple Time, one of Creative Teaching Press’s top classroom décor collections for the 2025–2026 school year.

Whether you’re going for a warm, classic vibe or want to bring a playful punch of color into your space, the Apple Time Collection is brimming with everything you need to create an inviting, coordinated classroom.

🌳 Rooted in Style: The Apple Time Look

At the heart of this collection is the Jumbo Tree Bulletin Board Set, a showstopping 4-foot tall leafy tree that instantly transforms any wall into a welcoming focal point. Add in apple cut-outs printed with positive messages, and you’ve got the perfect backdrop for everything from class rules and birthdays to seasonal displays.

And it doesn’t stop there—Apple Time delivers a full suite of coordinating pieces that bring harmony and energy to your space without feeling too matchy-matchy. From cheerful student name plates and self-adhesive labels to calendar days and mini bulletin boards, everything works together effortlessly.

🍏 Organization with a Dash of Charm

Staying organized never looked so cute. Apple Time’s Class Management Mini Bulletin Board Set helps you display classroom expectations and daily schedules while encouraging kindness and teamwork—all in a fun, apple-themed format. And if you love details (and what teacher doesn’t?), you’ll swoon over the cut-outs in three sizes—perfect for labeling supplies, setting up stations, or adding interactive elements to lessons.

Need a spot for student names, reminders, or reading goals? The 6" apple cards and vibrant name plates give you the flexibility to personalize your classroom, while keeping everything on-theme.

✏️ Motivate and Celebrate

The Apple Time Collection isn’t just about looks—it’s designed to build classroom culture. Encourage young readers with “Bite into a Good Book” bookmarks or inspire students daily with the uplifting Inspire U 4-Poster Pack. For those everyday moments of recognition, the juicy apple reward stickers are a sweet way to say “well done!”
