Insect Life Classroom Decor: Inspiring Young Minds Through Nature-Inspired Organisation

There’s something quietly magical about watching students settle into a space that feels thoughtfully prepared as they start their back to school journey. 

Our Insect Life Classroom Decor, created in collaboration with celebrated Australian artist Pete Cromer, does exactly that.

This bug-themed classroom decor collection isn’t just about brightening up walls (though it certainly does that too). It’s built on the principles of predictability, consistency and calm — a soft, trauma-informed foundation that helps learners feel safe and seen from day one.

Each insect in the collection is a match-ready identity marker. Students can be assigned one of Pete Cromer’s charming insect artworks from beetles to butterflies that follows them across key areas of the classroom.

Their tote tray label, desk plate, welcome door tag, and goal-setting display can all reflect their chosen insect, making it easy for students to identify their belongings and feel at home in their space.

Whether you’re planning a full insect theme classroom, or simply introducing cohesive classroom decor to support student wellbeing, this set offers unmatched flexibility. It’s editable, classroom-tested, and aligns beautifully with your routines — no matter the grade or classroom layout.

Looking for more than just a classroom display?

This is more than just a theme — it’s a teacher resource that lightens your load. With consistent visuals across multiple touch points and a clear visual language, it sets the tone for a smooth, student-centred start to the year.

Let your learners choose their insect.
Let your space work for you.
Let your decor do more than decorate.
