Double-Sided Country-Themed Educational Hangings for School Hallway
At our school, we recently created a beautiful and educational hallway display using double-sided hangings that highlight traditional costumes from different countries as well as motivational learning. These handmade decorations are not only eye-catching, but also serve as a learning tool for our students.
✂️ Handmade with Love and Learning
Each hanging is made with colorful chart paper and is designed to be double-sided, so students walking in either direction can enjoy and learn. We showcased five countries through these hangings: Germany, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Spain and Turkey. The highlight of this project is that on one side it shows the traditional dress worn by a boy and on the other side it shows the traditional dress worn by a girl from the same country. This not only brings cultural diversity to life but also helps students learn to identify different national costumes for both genders.
Every hanging features:
- A cartoon-style figure wearing traditional dress from that country
- The country’s name is displayed clearly
- An inspiring quote about education
