A great summer bulletin board I've used in the past is a picnic theme. We make a
check board tablecloth, paint a large basket, and we put paper plate collages of
the kids' favorite foods around it. It was a hit!
Have the children make play dough with you, and then make picnic foods, and
pretend to grill them.

Idea:
One fun summer bulletin board I made at the daycare center where I work was a
picnic theme. We let the children cut out pictures of food from magazines and
then we created an outdoor scene with paper. The food got stapled on the board
next to a paper picnic basket and we made ants out of egg cartons crawling
towards the food. The heading we used on the board was "Summer's a Picnic!"

idea
During a picnic theme do activities based on peanut butter and jelly,
something most preschoolers enjoy a great deal of. Put peanut butter and
jelly in zip lock baggies. Let the children manipulate the bags and smoosh the
ingredients until the stuff is completely mixed up. It's is great for the fine
motor skills and fun to. Make sure, though, that there are no allergies to
peanuts in your classroom.
