Making Educational Lessons More Relevant By Using Custom Lapel Pins

Educators worldwide face challenges.  Not only are they constantly under public scrutiny in terms of the methods that they educate students, they also face obstacles where budget constraints are concerned.  To deliver the type of quality education needed to help young minds succeed is not easy to say the least but it is a very rewarding experience. 

Teachers that “think outside the box” and employ non-traditional tactics to their classroom settings are often surprised at how well the lessons are absorbed by their students.  Custom lapel pins, although traditionally worn on apparel, have multiple uses.  In fact, there is no better place to hand them out than in schools and educational facilities.

Here are some of the ways we have seen our customers use custom lapel pins to teach those around them:

• Younger students can relate to different characters and their stories.  Custom lapel pins can be created to reflect these characters and to make them seem more real and identifiable.
• Characters can also be created as a way of encouraging good behavior.  Students that display favorable characteristics in a classroom setting can earn a pin for completing different tasks.
• These unique gift items can be created as pin sets, so children can “collect them all” and strive towards achievement.  Students that acquire tangible goods are more likely to help others in their classroom receive the same honor.  This boosts morale and instills a sense of camaraderie in each individual.

Children are receptive to rewards and often strive to achieve an honor as a way of fulfilling a goal and receiving praise from their parents and teachers.  Custom lapel pins that are designed to appeal to younger students are very well received.  The more unique and exciting the design, the better.  Kids love to have the opportunity to shine academically.

Aside from traditional lapel pin designs, we offer a number of attractive add-ons.  What would your students say if they saw a pin that lights up, spins or slides?  Would they be more apt to follow the guidelines of an assignment if they knew they could earn a custom lapel pin for their shirt, hat or backpack?  What about replacing the push pins in your classroom with lapel pins?  With their backs removed, they make the perfect items to use on bulletin boards and with maps or posters.

We also offer rubber backings.  In addition to being biodegradable, they are safe for children.  They prevent young students from hurting themselves when fastening lapel pin items to apparel.  Postless pins are also available.  They can be created with magnetic backs and affixed to metal surfaces.
