Motifs for year-round wall decorations recommended for nurseries and kindergartens (11–20)
star
Depending on how you display them, star motifs can take center stage or play a perfect supporting role—they’re wonderfully versatile.
Because stars have long been beloved around the world, they make great wall decorations for any occasion.
When we think of stars, we tend to associate them with luck.
While they do symbolize good fortune, they also serve as talismans against evil and represent hope, health, and wealth.
Wall decorations featuring stars are sure to watch over children in their everyday lives.
Three-dimensional balloon mobile
If you’re looking for a hanging decoration, how about a balloon mobile you can easily make with construction paper? Prepare three pieces of construction paper cut into balloon shapes, then make two valley folds in the center to match the width of the balloon’s mouth.
Attach a long, sparkly tape to the mouth, and glue the three pieces together along the folded sections to create a three-dimensional balloon.
Hang them from a frame made with piano wire and thread, and display it from the ceiling.
Enjoy a lovely space where the balloons look like they’re floating in the air.
Rainbow balloon made with looped paper chains
Let me introduce a perfect springtime wall display idea: the “Rainbow Balloon”! This is a craft made with paper chains that kids are already familiar with.
Prepare seven colors of construction paper or origami paper and cut them into strips.
Adjust the length of the paper chains to match the size of your balloon.
The balloon itself is made from construction paper; a light color may be best so the rainbow stands out.
Once you’ve prepared the balloon parts and rainbow parts, stick them onto the wall.
Arrange the rainbow with good balance.
Besides the standard balloon shape, heart, star, or animal-shaped balloons would also be adorable.
Easy to tidy up! Garland
Many people probably think, “Since I made a wall decoration, I want to use it not just for that day but for other events too.” This is a wall-hanging garland that can be folded compactly until the next time you use it.
You make it by connecting multiple accordion-folded, fan-shaped origami pieces in alternating directions.
Because the accordion folds are linked, you can fold it in from both sides to make it very small.
If you make a few, they’ll be sure to help brighten up any event!
A mobile made with your favorite characters
Why not decorate the room with your children’s favorite characters? You can use characters from anime or games as materials, or—if characters aren’t allowed at your school—use animals or picture books they love instead! Once you’ve chosen the materials, print them out on a computer.
Also print one reversed copy so you can glue the front and back together.
Laminate the finished pieces and cut them out, then punch holes so you can attach strings.
Try decorating them like a mobile, using branches the children found in the yard or during outdoor activities.
Swaying gently in the pleasant spring breeze, they’ll look absolutely lovely.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
A wall decoration inspired by everyone’s favorite picture book character, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, is colorful, cute, and perfect for spring.
First, cut circles out of green and light-green construction paper for the body, and red for the head, then layer and glue them together.
Add black antennae and yellow eyes, and your vivid, eye-catching little caterpillar is complete.
On the wall, stick on a big tree, leaves, and fruits that appear in the book to create a lively forest filled with lots of caterpillars.
It’s even more fun if the children help with the sticking part!

Sticky Felt Balloon
Here’s an idea for making balloons that make the most of felt’s soft, fluffy texture.
First, cut light blue construction paper into a balloon shape.
Next, cut felt in three colors into triangles or squares.
Finally, use wood glue to attach the felt pieces onto the balloon and make a handle with yarn—that’s it! It’s also cute to display the balloons as if animals or characters are holding them.
Adjust tasks like cutting the paper and using scissors according to the children’s age and developmental stage.
Besides felt, it’s also fun to try various materials like ribbons and beads to decorate the balloons.
Give it a try for inspiration!
