Description

The Moving Mountains Décor Kit from Teacher Created Resources transforms any learning space into an inspiring mountain retreat with its comprehensive collection of nature-themed educational decorations. This complete classroom package includes four motivational posters featuring messages like “Kindness Can Move Mountains,” “Faith Can Move Mountains,” “Dream Big,” and “Today is Your Day,” along with coordinating bulletin board sets, multiple border trims in complementary colors (sunrise, terra cotta, and blue), positive sayings accents, and a unifying “Together, We Can Move Mountains” banner.

Created by Teacher Created Resources, a trusted educational publisher for over 40 years, this décor kit features heavy cardstock material with gorgeous mountain designs and vibrant colors that don’t show wear after multiple uses. The earthy, calming color palette brings the peaceful beauty of nature indoors while maintaining the educational focus that research shows enhances learning outcomes.

What sets this kit apart: Unlike individual decorative pieces that may clash or feel disconnected, this coordinated collection ensures visual harmony throughout your learning space. Research indicates that classroom decorations highlighting academic content can boost learning, while creating a sense of “ownership” that correlates with learning progress. The kit’s positive messaging supports character development and growth mindset—values that align naturally with many homeschooling families’ educational philosophy.

Quality and durability: Users consistently praise the sturdy construction, noting it doesn’t rip easily and maintains its appearance through repeated use. While the pieces aren’t laminated (which keeps costs reasonable), the thick paper quality holds up well to stapling and repositioning. The largest bulletin board pieces can transform an entire wall, with the main mountain display measuring 21″ x 45″ when assembled.

Investment value: At approximately $95 retail, this represents solid value compared to purchasing comparable individual pieces, which would easily exceed $150-200 when bought separately. The kit provides enough coordinated elements to decorate multiple wall spaces, creating a cohesive learning environment that can be reused year after year.

How Homeschoolers Can Use This Product

Creating Your Dedicated Learning Space: A dedicated homeschool space helps minimize distractions and keeps educational supplies organized, making it easier to maintain the learning mindset throughout the day. The Moving Mountains kit provides everything needed to transform a spare room, basement area, or even a corner of your living space into a proper classroom that feels intentional and inspiring.

Academic Display and Student Ownership: Research shows that displaying students’ personal work creates a sense of ownership that significantly correlates with learning progress. Use the bulletin boards to showcase your children’s best work, creating pride in their accomplishments while building confidence. The calendar bulletin board becomes a central organizing tool for lessons, goals, and family learning adventures.

Character Development Integration: The faith-based and character-focused messaging aligns naturally with values-centered homeschooling. The “Faith Can Move Mountains” and “Kindness Can Move Mountains” posters serve as daily reminders of important life principles, while the “Dream Big” message encourages ambitious learning goals. Studies show that classroom decor affects students’ emotional well-being and behavior, making these positive messages valuable teaching tools beyond mere decoration.

Multi-Child Functionality: For families with multiple children at different grade levels, the nature theme works across age groups without feeling too juvenile for older students or too advanced for younger ones. The flexible design supports different educational needs while maximizing space, essential for families homeschooling multiple children in one area.

Seasonal and Thematic Learning: Mountain themes promote a sense of adventure and exploration within the classroom community, perfect for nature studies, geography lessons, or discussing perseverance and goal-setting. The outdoor theme naturally connects to hiking, camping, and real-world learning experiences that many homeschooling families enjoy.

Practical Organization: The border trims help define learning zones within your space—reading corner, math station, science area—while maintaining visual unity. The accents can label storage areas, creating that organized, intentional learning environment that promotes positive attitude and reduces anxiety.

Avoiding Over-Stimulation: Research warns against overly decorated classrooms that can interfere with memory and focus, particularly for younger children. This coordinated kit helps you achieve the research-recommended balance of “lively but not chaotic,” using 20-50% of available wall space effectively without overwhelming your students.

Long-term Investment: Unlike trendy decorations that quickly become outdated, the timeless nature theme and quality construction make this a worthwhile multi-year investment. As your children grow, the messages of perseverance and faith remain relevant, while the sophisticated earth tones won’t feel childish to teens.
