[April] Cute spring-themed classroom wall decoration ideas for early childhood education

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

Tulips Made with Swipe Art

Let me introduce tulips made with swipe art featuring beautiful patterns.

Prepare paints, a sponge, construction paper, crayons, and round stickers, and let’s get started.

Drip about three colors of paint vertically onto the construction paper.

Use the sponge to swipe the dripped paint horizontally.

By swiping across several times, the colors will blend and create enjoyable patterns.

Cut the paper into a tulip shape and glue it onto a backing sheet, draw the stem, add leaves using round stickers, and you’re done! It makes a great wall display where you can enjoy the color transitions, so give it a try.

Easter eggs made with a stamp

Here’s how to make colorful Easter eggs using a pom-pom stamper.

Gather paint, a pom-pom stamper, white drawing paper, paper cut into egg shapes, and round stickers.

Dip the stamper in paint and stamp it onto the paper to add color.

The key is to choose bright, spring-like colors.

Cut one sheet of paper into a bunny base, and cut the painted paper into a cracked-egg shape, then glue them together.

Finally, attach the eyes and ears to finish! Drawing the face with crayons is also a great option.

Tulip Train

Let me introduce the Tulip Train, where spring tulips transform into a train.

Get construction paper, origami paper, crayons, scissors, and glue, and let’s get crafting.

First, cut the construction paper into tulip shapes to make the base.

Then glue pieces of origami paper onto the tulips.

Cut out leaves, wheels, and animals, and attach each part to the tulip.

When you connect the tulip trains the children made, you might see each one showing a different expression of the train.

Tulips made with handprints

We’d like to introduce a tulip wall display made with handprints that will be a lovely keepsake of children’s growth.

Prepare construction paper, green paint, brushes, and a palette.

Cut out the flower and stem parts from construction paper, then glue them onto a background sheet.

Apply paint thinned with a little water to the children’s palms and press their handprints onto the stem area of the tulips.

The key is to press quickly when making the handprints.

Make sure to prepare everything thoroughly in advance so the activity goes smoothly.

The tulip leaves will turn into adorable handprints.

If you like, add paper cutouts shaped like butterflies for a charming, springtime wall display.

Tulip made by gluing origami pieces

Here’s how to make a tulip by tearing and pasting origami paper.

Gather origami paper, construction paper, crayons, glue, and scissors.

Tear the origami paper by hand or cut it with scissors to create small shapes.

Glue the pieces onto the construction paper, trying to place them so there are as few gaps as possible.

Arrange and glue together pieces with similar patterns and colors so they are close to each other, then cut them into the shape of a tulip and paste it onto the backing paper.

Finish by drawing the stem, leaves, and other details around it with crayons.
