The Lorax Trees Larger Than Mat

 I've always thought a decorated classroom helps students want to be in your room. When I moved to San Antonio, I found barely anyone had a decorated classroom! Seriously! I was the only one in my
entire hall of 8 teachers who decorated their room!

I've decided to start creating a variety of different larger than mat classroom decorations for FREE!


What's larger than mat you ask? It's a term used if you have a cutting machine such as a cricut or a silhouette. Typically, larger than mat means it doesn't fit on their standard sized mats. With paper crafting, that means anything that requires you to cut bigger than 8.5"x11". Always double check sizing when importing to cutting programs. They sometimes shrink the file to make it fit and you have to resize upon importing.

What if you don't have a cutting program? That's ok! I will also include the PDF files you can print then cut yourself.

If you have any suggestions of what you would like to see, let me know! Otherwise, I will be just creating whatever themes I feel like would be fun to see in a classroom.

Please note: Anything created here is for personal use only. You may NOT sell any files. These are free for teacher use. Please do not try to steal these files.


I will be starting with The Lorax.

24"

This size has a few options for printing. You can print a single tree. Here is what you need for that:

  • 1 Page Black Paper
  • 1 Page Yellow Paper
  • 2 Pages Color of Your Choice for tops of trees. I have included a color palette from the movie.
OR
If you want to print 8 trees at a time, I have included that option as well. Here is what you will need for that:
  • 1 Page Black Paper
  • 4 Pages Yellow Paper
Choose 4 colors for the tops of the trees. You will need:
  • 3 Pages of each color (Total of 12 pages)

36"

For the Top of the tree for this one, you will need to tape it together. I have included a picture of where each piece goes for easy taping. I tape on the back when I make mine.
